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.

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
