Lenovo Z5: What We Know So Far
According to the details revealed by the company’s VP a few weeks ago, we can confirm that the Lenovo Z5 will have a bezel-less display with 95% screen-to-body ratio. Furthermore, as per reports and speculations, the Z5 will use Qualcomm’s best-in-class chipset, the Snapdragon 845. It might be mated to either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The details about the software remain a mystery as of now, but we can expect the Z5 to come running the latest version of Android: Android 8.1 Oreo.
Moving on to the other details of the upcoming smartphone, the Z5 is said to come with 4TB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. This massive memory can withstand almost “2000 HD movies, up to 150,000 lossless music files, and up to 1 million photos,” as declared by Cheng Chang. The smartphone is also supposed to offer 30 minutes of talk time at 0% battery” as per Lenovo. Apart from that, the Lenovo Z5 will also have an impressive 45 days of standby time, which is rather interesting. All these things sound too good to be true, though.
The device will also ship with a dual-camera at the rear with A.I capabilities for scene and object recognition. The camera sample shots from the phone were released by the VP a few days ago. The exact resolution of these dual-camera setup isn’t known as of now, but we should be able to get that information after the phone gets TENAA certification. Apart from the camera, Lenovo’s VP also shared an interesting aspect of the Z5: it will offer 5G connectivity. These are the only details we know about the phone so far, and we expect to know more about it in the coming weeks and during the launch.
