Lenovo ZUK Z1 launched in India .

Lenovo opted for something unique to unveil the ZUK Z1, unlike the usual smartphone launches . What made the launch extraordinary was that it was the world's first ever crowd sourced smartphone launch and was streamed live on http://ift.tt/277XqKW. I was lucky enough to be among the 8 lucky people who launched and shared their take on the power packed smartphone. To everyone's surprise, the phone is well-priced at just INR 13,499, which is quite less than expected.


About ZUK
ZUK is a Lenovo-owned smartphone brand founded in 2015. The major motive of the brand is to deal with the Internet-era, which is why it is an online-only brand. ZUK has partnered with Cyanogen to base its products' Android distribution upon a variant of the popular custom ROM CyanogenMod.

Lenovo ZUK Z1 Specifications

Display, Hardware and Software

The Lenovo ZUK Z1 comes with a 5.5″ full HD display. The thin bezel and the metal sides accentuates the look of the phone and makes it look sturdy. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5GHz alongside Adreno 330 graphics. The device is packed with 3GB of RAM and 64GB internal memory. However, the memory cant be expanded since the phone doesnt support memory card. For all those who love customizing their phone, Lenovo ZUK is made for you. Since ZUK Z1 runs Cyanogen OS 12.1 based on Android 5.1.1, you can customize your phone and even the warranty wont get void.

Battery and Camera


ZUK Z1 gets its juice from a 4100mAh battery. When you leave this smart device on charge overnight and it gets fully charged, it will work on the adapter instead of the battery. This helps to avoid the hampering of the battery due micro cycles.

The device sports a 13MP primary and a 8MP front camera. The Sony IMX214 sensor, Optical image stablisation and f/2.2 aperture are responsible for the crisp and clear images shotted by Lenovo Z1. Moreover, you can switch from one mode to another (night, HDR, Auto etc) with just a swipe. Although the images shot from Z1 are a little over-saturated but that isnt much of an issue when it comes to daylight photography.

Connectivity
Lenovo Z1 features with a fingerprint scanner on the home button just like Apple and Samsung smartphones. What appeals me the most about the fringerprint scanner is that it can unlock pretty fast even when the finger is wet/sweaty. Apart from that, the USB Type-C 3.0 present on the phone allows you quick charge and quick transfer of data. Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-fi a/b/g/n/ac, GPS and 4G/LTE are the other connectivity options available on the device.

The Lenovo ZUK Z1 will be available on Amazon.in on May 19 at 2pm for it's first flash sale. Registrations have already begun. Hurry up!
