4-months report/review from me - got it back in July at Wonda Mobile: http://www.wondamobile.com/best-seller/huawei-p8.html. I paid over £500 for it back then! The phone came unlocked but not rooted with Google Play, Gmail, Contact, Map and Calendar. I kept receiving all updates from Huawei.

The phone is still reasonably fast, not Note-5-fast, but good enough. With Android you have to get used to killing background apps regularly to keep it cool and smooth. I do not play 3D games with it often, but it handled WOT: Blitz well. Screen resolution is fine though you can see that it isn't 2K.

Its camera is the weakest link - I expect more from a mid-2015 premium device. Not impressive under low-light condition.

The metal body still looks new, the side bezel is not as smoothly finished as my iPhone 6S but it is far more scratch-resistance. I even dropped it several times on hardwood floor. The paint has come off a little inside the USB socket. The sim slot has become a little loose, but it still lines up perfectly with the body.

It is not my main phone so the 4000-something mAh battery lasts forever for me. Overall, it is still the best big smartphone or Z Ultra replacement. I may get the Mate 8 around Easter to replace it. Maybe not worth £500 but the current price is great.

      http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-HuaWei-Ascend-P8-Max-4G-FDD-LTE-Mobile-Phone-Kirin-935-Android-5-0-6/32325370208.html

      Was the cheapest could find.
      According to DHL it should arrive tomorrow and if that happens that would mean I received it within 6 days of ordering.

      Cheers!!

          Got my phone (703 version) for 3 months now:

          Pros:
          * superb battery life...no need to carry an extra powerbank
          * 64g storage...and i have added an extra 64g sd card...easy to watch series or movies while sitting on the train or bus
          * double tap to wake up screen (like my good ol nokia) ...got this with a recent update last week
          * screen size...so easy to watch my mails or browsing webs
          * night mode camera: very useful if you have a steady hand
          * robust and solid build: has dropped my phone already 3 times but no issues
          * very good screen clarity...although useless in the sun (like many other phones)
          * very good reception and fast 4g lte
          * no lag...and minimal bloatware

          Cons:
          * no fingerscan: but i have double tap to wake which is ok with me
          * camera is not top range, but still more than decent...night mode is superb
          * no nfc: but i have never had a need for it...bluetooth is ok with me...
          * phone is slippy: dropped it many times in the beginning but an additonal plastic cover can solve this

          All in all my best phone so far, and i would not hesitate to buy another phone if this phone got stolen. I have used samsung (up to note3) in the past.

            The only reason why you'd like to buy this phone is its massive battery life.
            Multitasking: Doesn't come closer to what you'd get with 'Galaxy Notes'
            Software updates: Forget it
            Weight: Heavy like hell
            Build quality: Great.
