I'm confused. Is this the one that was £1200?

I think that was the Mate 9 "Pro"

Edit: $1300 http://hexus.net/ce/news/mobile-phon...one-cost-1300/

Cute that they think they can play in that field in Europe, although I have spent a lot of time in SE Asia recently and they really are no joke. They have similar sized parts of stores dedicated to their product line as Samsung do and upon a bit of casual fondling, some of them seem to be excellent pieces of hardware.

One thing I will say though (and this isnt specific to Huawei) its impossible to get to grips with the different number of models of phone over here. Its seriously bonkers how many varients the different manufacurers bring out in these parts, we only see a fraction of them.

If this retails (off contract) for around £429 then its nigh on half the price of an iphone 7+ (128GB) or a Google Pixel (128GB, add a micro sd card of 64GB size and your up to the same storage capacity.
Maybe it is not quite as good as the above two however by the law of diminishing returns its far better value.

Except it's expected to be around £600 - £650 if the $-£ conversion is anything to go by. It could be nearer £700, so looking at it that way then I'd say its pretty much dead in the water.
