Do you want it on contract gez?. I have got the Hauwei P30 and it's a cracking piece of kit. It's as good as any Samsung m8.
 
No miggy, im already on contract, and me money is gift vouchers for amazon.
Looking on there at the mo. How does Hauwei and google get on , havn't google banned hauwei.

Really good m8. No issues at all.

I thought they banned them from using the playstore @miggy?

There's the Motorola g8 for £19 more if you don't want Chinese.

Did you get get your's recently or before the supposed ban?
 
I'm a bit disappointed at the Huawei (Pronounced: Who Are We? :D) situation as I like the P20 Lite that I have. Wouldn't do any online banking on it, but I liked the price and it's not a bad phone.
 
The new versions of Huawei will not come with the play store, nor will they run android. You can still use it fine on older models, it's only the new models that have been banned.

If you're getting an android then root it and then just install a custom rom. This may still be possible with the newer versions of said phone maker.
 
I got the mrs a xiami pocofone f1, very fast with snapdragon 845 and 6gb ram. She loves it. It has the same chip as my oneplus 6t mclaren but i have 10gb ram and it cost £650.00.

Update I picked up a huawei media pad at Argos yesterday downloaded gmail app but would not show I had to allow huawei mail service to read my gmail before I could use gmail to get into my gmail account I need to go through huawei mail service
 
That sounds suspiciously like huawei checking your emails before you read them.
 
Yea I’ll use another email account for this tablet
