Spotted this in my local Warehouse Stationary on Saturday. These were on clearance for $199 but now have a $159 (20% off) ticket.
I assume this is part of their Easter 20% off sale despite being clearance.
This is one of the best value handsets you'll find at this price locally - IMO
It isn't online anymore so I assume it is just what stock stores have left.
Long thread on Geekzone about the handset here -

My partner got one of these about Sep 2015 and I got one about Feb 2016. We got them as they were best value for specs we could find locally. Nice big screen, good speed, just overall great phone UNTIL my partners phone started randomly glitching out after about a year.
Ghost touches, screen wouldn't respond sometimes, the on screen back, home buttons would often not work. Got worse over time so took back to Noel Learning after 13 months, the reseller in NZ tried to reject at first but Noel Learning sent it back and they ended up giving a replacement.
Then a couple months later my phone started doing similar things and had white/grey dots around edge of entire screen which only noticed when screen off. Looked online and it's apparently quite a few others had similar issues with faulty screens. Luckily I eventually got a replacement with a smart Ultra 7.
We both sold the replacement phones as we had bought new Huawei during boxing day sale, didn't want to risk same thing happening again.
