BARGAIN hunters are snapping up a smartphone deal from Argos that packs several big features despite being only £200.
And the bit most customers have made a fuss about is its battery.

The Android device is from lesser-known brand Honor and it’s called the Magic5 Lite 5G.
It may not come as a complete surprise that the handset’s price has fallen as an upgraded Magic6 Lite was unveiled just a couple of weeks ago.
So Honor and retailers are keen to clear stock of the Magic5 Lite 5G.

When it was launched last year the smartphone retailed for £330, so you now get £130 off.
The battery is a whooping 5,100mAh – to put that into perspective, the latest and most expensive iPhone’s battery isn’t even that big.

And it’s certainly something other users say is the best feature about the phone.
“I had one of these as a stop gap between phones and to be honest so much about it i miss,” one buyer wrote.

“Battery life is best of any phone I have ever had period! It’s ridiculously lightweight and has a stunning screen.
“While the selfie camera is top notch sadly the main camera isn’t as good.
Should I just get the new Magic6 Lite instead?
One of the key selling points Honor is hoping to catch people’s attention with on the Magic6 Lite is its anti-drop display.
The firm says it uses “advanced cushioning technology” from newly developed materials which can prevent the chances of a nasty crack across your screen.
So it should survive being dropped from a height of up to 1.5 meters.
The screen itself is a 6.78-inch AMOLED curved display.
Meanwhile, the camera consists of three lenses, including a 108-megapixel Ultra-Clear Camera, a 5-megapixel Ultra-Wide Camera and a 2-megapixel Macro Camera.
Honor says the wide camera offers a 110-degree field of view, allowing users to capture big landscapes or group shots with mates.
On the inside, the Magic6 Lite packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip so apps run smooth and speedy.
And the battery has had another boost, this time to 5300mAh.
For a limited time, Honor are giving a free tablet away too.
“But for £199 your getting a phone that does anything your £1200 flagship can do with very little sacrifice and show me a flagship that comes close on battery life.”
Indeed, many professional reviewers have praised the device for its strong battery, with many saying the Magic5 Lite 5G still has plenty of juice after one day.
However, the handset did get marked down for having a basic camera at 64-megapixels.
