You’ve seen our hands-on pictures and videos, you’ve checked the specs and now you have “like a G6” going around your head even though it’s a P6.

Either way, if you’d like a G6, Carphone Warehouse will be making them available on pre-order for just £21 per month.

Made from an aluminium frame and powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, the P6 has a 4.7″ screen which will work even when you’ve got your gloves on.

The £21 per month deal mentioned here only includes 100MB of data (and unlimited texts plus 100 minutes talk-time) but there is unlimited data available through a T-Mobile plan which also adds 500 minutes talk-time and unlimited texts for just £27 per month, which isn’t half bad.

The P6 also includes two cameras – an 8 megapixel at the rear and a 5 megapixel (yes, 5) at the front. It’s powered by the Android 4.2.2 OS and has a 2000mAh battery but still measures in at just 6.18mm thick and weighs about 120g.
