Limited stock, and only in few stores (I think that qualifies for a forum move, nonetheless), but otherwise a killer deal for a 2015 Huawei flagship. Still got rockin' specs and a gorgeous design.

Some stores say limited stock, but in my experience with MSY, that means a few are left, always. Your mileage may vary.

Specs for those curious:

  • 5.2" 1080p IPS-Neo Display w/ Gorilla Glass 3
  • Kirin 930 SoC (8x A53 (4x @ 2.0GHz, 4x @ 1.5GHz))
  • 3GB RAM
  • 16GB Storage
  • 13MP RGBW Rear Camera w/ OIS and Dual-Tone Flash
  • 8MP Front Camera
  • 802.11n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
  • 2680mAh Battery
  • All Metal and Glass Design
  • Android 5.0 (Planned 6.0 Marshmallow Upgrade, Huawei have a good track record)
Mobile Huawei Mobile Phone Android

    Availability: THIS PRODUCT IS CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK

    • deanylev on 21/03/2016 - 23:17

      If you got to 'Stock Availability' a few stores have stock. It's out of stock online.

        True that. About five or so stores nationwide showing limited stock. In all probability more than ten or so in stock nationwide which I think meets minimum OzB guidelines.

          Edit - Other states show 'Limited stock' and in my experience with MSY, that means stock is available - 100% of the time. Your mileage may vary

    My brother has an iphone 4S and this P8. Sadly the camera quality of 4S (2011) still beats Huawei (2015) today…
    especially in low light shots.

    Purchased this from the Dick Smith clearout sale in December for ~$350. Good phone (at this price) but don't get fooled by the specs. 3gb ram, octa-core blah blah, it still lags like most android phones once you get apps going. I'll give it a 7/10 for performance but wouldn't be paying anymore than the price listed here. Very average battery life as well. Definitely NOT a flagship performance phone despite the specs. But at this price, it's a good deal.

    What works in its favour is a gorgeous screen, build of the phone and a good camera.

    Also, my phone doesn't detect the 5Ghz band (and so does the review below), so I'm not sure if the specs are right as listed.

    A good review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9260/the-huawei-p8-review/5

    • aim54x on 22/03/2016 - 09:11

      As far as I know none of the P8 variants detect 5GhZ (N or AC). I bought mine from MobileCiti and have been very happy with it, despite not having NFC (long story short, there are two variants available in this country, dual sim or single sim + NFC).

      Also got it from DS clearout. Its a flagship phone. Flagship camera, design/build. Yes it lags behind in graphics performance but you'd only notice it if you're a hardcore gamer. Also lacks developer custom roms. But otherwise an awesome phone for $330.

      Also has standout LTE performance. I get 20-30Mbps regularly and up as high as 60Mbps in some areas. Better than my NBN!

  • Asx10000 on 22/03/2016 - 08:56

    It's not a flagship, but it's a good phone for that price.

      You appear to be misunderstanding the way flagship is being used in the context of phones.

        No it really isn't. That title belongs to the Nexus 6P which I'm typing on, and they've made many others which are more powerful

        The true current flagship is Mate 8. The flagship of 2015 is Mate 7 & Mate S. And I'm not including the Nexus 6P here as it's a Nexus.

      Dual SIM standby, not active.

    • Phoebus on 22/03/2016 - 13:28

      I thought the GRA_UL00 is dual SIM (no NFC)
      The GRA_L09 is one SIM + NFC
      am I right?

      • WebSurfer on 22/03/2016 - 15:26

        Yes I also think so.

        I am interested in GRA_L09 but pity cant find if MSY has this version..

  • ShadowStealer7 on 22/03/2016 - 15:20

    I got a P8 Lite a couple months ago and although these phones are decent for their price, unfortunately their Android skin (Emotion UI) removes basics like the app drawer and data usage settings for a half baked iOS-lite skin. Also, these phones are horrible for ROMs and the like due to their Kirin chipset. Of course, if these don't bother you (the first can be sort of fixed with something like Nova Launcher) then I'm assuming this is a great buy

    • deanylev on 22/03/2016 - 15:24

      A. App Drawer issue is solved with a custom launcher
      B. Data usage is solved with a 3rd party app
      C. Yep, but for the price it's hard to complain.

      All valid points, but fortunately the beauty of Android is they're all fixable (except the custom ROM thing) :)

    This looked like a good deal until Kogan eBay store started selling the G4 for $370. Certainly worth the extra $37.

    • deanylev on 23/03/2016 - 07:43

      Different strokes for different folks. The LG G4 has an awful plastic design, while this has a gorgeous metal unibody with glass accents. For me, that'd be almost worth the swap, alone. Lucky I have a Nexus 6P though :P
