Ridiculously great offer on the Honor 8 - should I go for it or not?

So I have been using a Huawei Ascend G740 for the last 2,5 years, and I dislike it a whole lot. The Android 4.1 software with EMUI 1.3 has been driving me crazy. The phone looks ugly and on top of that it's incredibly slow (also the 5 inch screen is too small)!
Most of you have probably heard of the Honor 8 smartphone that's been released recently. It costs 410 Euros to buy one out of contract here in Sweden. However, currently you can buy one on-contract for a heavily recuded price. A phone company has a campain this month, and as I'm a student I get another 20% off the sale that's already on the phone's current price. That means I'll be paying 24 Euros a month over a period of 2 years. Only 4 of those Euros is paid monthly for the phone, meaning that it costs 100 Euros in total. For the whole thing I'll be paying 580 Euros. To me that is a massive deal, and I am thinking about going for it. What do you think? Is it better to wait for something else?

Sounds like a great deal - for a current phone as well. I would snap it up

It is a really great deal, but I really want to try a 5,5 inch phone. Would defenitely pick up the Oneplus 3 if their customer service wasn't garbage and you could buy it on-contract. The Honor 8 looks like an excellent phone but yeah, those 5,2 inches bothers me a lot, especially as the phone has on-screen buttons.

I love mine. The 5.2 inch size is a sweet spot for usability, I've watched movies, play games regularly, and browse my online news sources. I don't know how the older version of EMUI is, but 4.1 works well. Also, I paid $250 USD for mine, so your deal is even better.

Which phone company is it? Do you have a link to the deal?
