Last month, we saw the ZUK Z1 be certified in China, the first product of a startup created by Lenovo. Much was made of the model, especially the curiosity of users to understand what this new move of the company that already has a wide range of smartphones that aim to deliver a good balance between performance and price. This is the best of the ZUK Z1, which promises a good hardware without charge dearly for it.
After weeks of speculation and rumors, finally the product was announced by the company. The ZUK Z1 comes with a 5.5 inch screen with full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), Snapdragon 801 quad-core chipset with maximum speed of 2.5 GHz and GPU Adreno 330. For those who expect something more up to date may have been disappointed. But we have to see what else the ZUK Z1 has to offer.
It comes with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. In terms of camera, we have a main sensor of 13 megapixels with sensor Sony IMX 214, the common good in the smartphone market. In the front we have a OmniVision sensor 8 megapixel which produces high quality selfies and still captures video with good resolution and definition for video calls. How we could not miss, have an optical image stabilizer that ensures not only more stable videos, but also clearer photos in dark environments.
The most interesting part is the small details. Too often we judge a product just for its processor, but the ZUK Z1 bet on generous battery 4.100mAh that promises to last a few days away from the outlet. The model also comes with biometric reader on your physical button below the screen and USB 3.0 port with Type-C standard that delivers high data transfer speeds and helps to quickly charge the battery model. In addition, the device already comes standard with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
For just $ 285 you take a metal smartphone with 8,9mm thick and 175 grams. He may not be the fastest on the market, but it brings new technologies like USB Type-C standard that is something still rare in this segment. The ZUK did not make clear when the novelty will be available for sale and or which countries they will receive the product.
