So I have been browsing around and found this 'little beauty'

Huawei has been steadily shedding its reputation as a budget smartphone maker in recent years and to that end the Chinese company made significant progress with the superb Mate S smartphone in 2015. Huawei has just launched its latest premium device, the Mate 8, a phablet which promises to go head-to-head with the iPhone 6S Plus and Galaxy Note 5....

They won't sell many with that price tag.
The name isn't "premium" enough to justify it yet.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

It was the screen size that appealed to me. I know @MI5 has always rated Huawei.....so wondered what he thinks (even though he just has a new phone)......

Looks Premium enough....?

The Mate 8 is all glass and metal, and the minute you pick it up you know it's a premium device. The chamfered edges look and feel great and the gold and brown models which sit alongside the silver and grey versions are subtle enough to be attractive.

Nice phone, but too big.
If they did a 5" version for £300 it would fly, I'm sure.....

That plus a big screen appeals to me
