    Good price of p8.

    Whenever these decent phone deals appear I have just convinced myself to hold onto my note for just a little longer.

    • CyberMurning on 13/12/2015 - 16:03

      is that note 3? if yes, same here

      • alwayslooking on 16/12/2015 - 12:49

        Would you recommend the Note 5? I've got the HTC M8 and looking to change mid next year.

        • CyberMurning on 16/12/2015 - 15:44

          no it doesnt have sdcard support.

        • alwayslooking on 16/12/2015 - 16:37

          @alwayslooking: better get note 4 second hand good condition. i saw on ozb today someone trying to sell note egde for $400 that is good deal if condition is good.
          always buy one generation behind to ensure you get good value of your money.

        • alwayslooking on 16/12/2015 - 17:12

          @eisniwre: Thanks again, I was actually looking at that while you were probably writing this :)
          I have till the end of April until my contract is over, so will look then. But it's good to know. Cheers!

        • CyberMurning on 16/12/2015 - 17:18

          @alwayslooking: haha i was looking at the edge this morning, did 5 mins research comparison between note 3 and edge, edge screen is better resolution, but then nothing wrong with my note 3 ..

        • alwayslooking on 16/12/2015 - 17:22

          @eisniwre: True, but I'm scared that if that edge falls, that screen is going to look quite messy!

        • CyberMurning on 16/12/2015 - 17:27

          @alwayslooking: ask if it comes with copy of local invoice then should be fine. google the edge fails report and see if many cases happening. if i still have note 2 i will upgrade!

      • AssociatedBamBam cheapsk8 @ Dick Smith / Kogan on 25/12/2015 - 08:35

        original note 1.

  • zacsg1 on 09/12/2015 - 06:56

    Is the P8 worth $50 than the R7? They both look about the same on paper, thanks

    • Japius on 09/12/2015 - 07:19

      If you use Vodafone the P8 doesnt have LTE B5 (850MHz) which can be an issue for some

      • jimbobaus on 09/12/2015 - 10:38

        I am sorry this is NOT correct.
        The P8 sold in Australia (outright and through Vodafone) is 850 compatible

        Was working at Huawei when the p8 launched.

          +1

          I'm only going off the specs listed in the link in the OP, looks like they have used the specs for the L00 model, but if it is the L09 it should have B5

          @Japius:

        • Japius on 09/12/2015 - 11:08

          @scubacoles:

          Yes definitely. Theres some confusion as to which model DSE is selling L09 or L00

          +2

          @Japius:

          As per comments further down it looks like this is the L00 model.
          The L09 model that they also sell is Vodafone branded. L09 is single SIM by the looks.

      • onebee on 09/12/2015 - 13:52

        Just confirmed that this is L00 version. here is the picture I took from Dick smith store at Sydney City: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7008696/mp3/huaweip8.jpg

    • elcheapoinoz on 09/12/2015 - 10:23

      Huawei is pretty bad with software updates, and has a very weak xda community.
      Oppo has an AOSP project going, so you will be able to have a cleaner android.
      (I own a huawei ascend mate 7)

      • jimbobaus on 09/12/2015 - 10:39

        the P8 is the first model to rectify this issue.
        The updates are much more frequent now.

        • ESEMCE on 09/12/2015 - 11:08
          +2

          Still no Custom ROM's though..
          So in 6 months time when Huawei shift their resources to development of the P9, you're out in the cold.

  • maruko on 09/12/2015 - 06:57

    Will this work with all Telstra 4g bands? I cant tell which sub model it is.

    • whats up skip on 09/12/2015 - 07:18
      +1

      If it is the L09 model, and it should be, then it seems to cover all the Telstra bands.
      Seems to have dual band wifi as well.

  • Kaise on 09/12/2015 - 07:04

    Given the price, how does the p8 compare to most flagship models?
    Is it worth holding out til closer to and after Christmas where better deal may occur?

    Trying to cap my budget at 400 ATM for a new phone.

    • Jackson on 09/12/2015 - 07:47
      +3

      At this price it's a steal, at $500 (I believe what JB were selling for) it was very competitive with flagships although with some slight shortcomings in certain areas potentially (I say potentially because for most people they will absolutely not matter).

  • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2015 - 07:28

    Great price!
    Especially for P8 it comes with one free screen replacement from Huawei if purchased this month

  • goevencheaper on 09/12/2015 - 08:13

    • Jared17 on 09/12/2015 - 08:16

      Yeah. Although huawei is quite a big player in mobile phone now I think.

      R7 also has 2 yrs warranty. p8 only 1 yr

      • goevencheaper on 09/12/2015 - 08:23

          @goevencheaper: Check out other users' experiences too. I've heard horror stories about devices that I have, while I haven't had any of those problems myself. It could just be a faulty phone.

      • Sean8802 on 09/12/2015 - 13:08

      I had Oppo R7 and it was a bit disappointing, and only really a mid-range device.

    Just a heads up that the Oppo R7 is available on the DSE eBay store:
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OPPO-Smartphone-R7-Silver-/271980…

    It means you can get the additional 2.5% Cashrewards cashback from eBay purchases.

      Even better, thanks.

    • dannyboi on 09/12/2015 - 09:04

    • andyken on 09/12/2015 - 11:31

      but $9.90 postage so better pick up :)

    • Tiggrrrrr on 09/12/2015 - 14:26

      But you can't use DSE gift cards (10% extra at Coles)

    How does the P8 compare to the new Moto G?

    • Asx10000 on 09/12/2015 - 09:18

    Two days ago I picked up a Lumia 640 XL from Allphones for $249.00. It came with a bonus selfie stick that didn't excite me, but I suppose it added to the value. It was the best deal I could find, but I remained reluctant because I know M$ was selling it for $299 a month ago.

    From the huawei.com.au page, there are two models:

    GRA L09 supports band 28 (4GX) 700MHz LTE
    GRA_UL00 does not

    Model GRA L09:
    4G TDD LTE：B40
    4G FDD LTE：B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B18/B19/B20/B25/B26/B28

    2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
    Support NFC

    GRA_UL00:
    4G TDD LTE: B38/B39/B40/B41 (2555MHz~2655MHz)
    4G FDD LTE: B1/B3/B4/B7
    3G UMTS: 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz(B8/B5/B4/B2/B1)

    EDIT. If it's the correct model

  • EarlyBird on 09/12/2015 - 09:38

    The P8 is let down by a poor GPU pairing and the dual SIM slot is shared with the microSD
    it seems.

    • Japius on 09/12/2015 - 11:05

      The Oppo shares the second sim with the SD so its either dual sim or expandable, not both

    Since DSE gonna close down, getting OPPO will be foolish due to no service and support in Australia.

      OPPO phones are also sold on the Optus network.

    • Japius on 09/12/2015 - 11:26

  • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2015 - 09:49

    I just spoke with Huawei - they said most P8 in Australia would be single SIM, so would be the GRA L09 model(with 4GX support). But best to confirm with DSE

        How to use the "mates rates"? Thanks!

      • xsacha on 09/12/2015 - 10:30

        I signed up to mates rates online and they sent an email out.
        They just check expiry of your mates rates (mine is 10th december).

        I checked store stock online and saw heaps in Queensland. North Lakes and Chermside have lots.

    • Thrifty McGifty on 09/12/2015 - 10:37

      Yeah, the specs on the website suggest that too.
      I've submitted an online request with them to verify which model it is.

    • jimbobaus on 09/12/2015 - 10:41

      DSE also stock the single sim version as they are a Vodafone re-seller
      You just have to ask,, however the pricing is set by VHA so maybe not as cheap
