Lenovo Zuk Z1
The
Lenovo Z1 will launch in India this May, kickstarting a completely new vertical
for the Chinese smartphone major. The Lenovo Z1 is the first device by ZUK, a
new business vertical created from within the company to focus on more
innovative devices that push the boundaries for hardware and software. It will
coexist with the Vibe and Moto ranges from the company.
Given
that the brand Lenovo has pretty good visibility in India, it would be
reasonable to assume that the company wants to cash in on it. Online-only brand
ZUK, if you recall, was anyway aimed at countering the rise of other Chinese
Internet brands like Xiaomi and OnePlus.

Push it to its limits as you unleash its true potential. The Lenovo Z1 is coming. #MakeItYours
So the Lenovo Z1, or the Lenovo ZUK Z1 as it is known in other parts of the world, will come with Cyanogen OS 12.1 offering customisations as well as the ability to root and flash the phone. The phone has taken its time coming to India, so it sports an older Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor.
Lenovo is
planning to bring in only the 64GB version to India. The phone also has a USB
Type-C slot for charging and data transfer. The other unique feature is the
4100 mAh battery. Lenovo claims the battery will last long as it cuts down on
unnecessary charge cycles by switching to DC power when the battery touches 100
per cent.
The rear
camera is 13MP, while the front camera is 5MP. The Full HD display will come
with a lot of customisations, thanks to the Cyanogen OS. The fingerprint
scanner on the Z1 supports 360 degree recognition.
The
Lenovo ZUK Z1 is priced around $350 in other markets, but could have a
mid-range price tag of around Rs 15,000 in India. The final price is expected
to be announced around the launch date in the second week of May.
