Lenovo Z5 Renders Reveal A Bottom-Placed Front Camera And A Tiny Chin

Up until now, Lenovo’s VP has been our sole source of information about the Lenovo Z5. Chang Cheng has been actively posting bits and pieces of the Z5 that have so far impressed everyone. The launch of the smartphone is set for June 5th and we still don’t have any concrete leaks of the device. This is very unusual for a modern-day smartphone and proves that Lenovo is doing everything it can to keep the Z5 a secret. However, we do have a couple of press renders of the Lenovo Z5 giving us a clearer look at the soon to be launched flagship smartphone.

The renders posted on Weibo are in line with the teasers posted by Chang Cheng. The Lenovo Z5 will have a nearly bezel-less design with a tiny chin. Ever since the first teaser was released, there were speculations about the placement of the front-facing camera. Many believed that Lenovo would use a pop-up camera like the Vivo APEX, or some other unique implementation. This render appears to quash those claims as the camera is placed on the chin of the Z5.

This implementation is very similar to Xiaomi’s Mi MIX lineup. The Mi MIX devices have thin uniform bezels on three sides while all the sensors and the camera are placed on the slightly thicker chin. The Lenovo Z5’s chin is definitely thinner than any of the Mi MIX smartphones, hence, the company claims a whopping 95% screen-to-body ratio. It also appears that all the necessary sensors will be placed on the chin itself.

The earpiece is nowhere to be seen in the renders. This could mean that Lenovo has taken another hint from Xiaomi and gone the Mi MIX route for the earpiece. The renders again show that the Lenovo Z5 will have a stunning design albeit, an awkwardly placed front-camera. Whether this is the final design of the smartphone is yet to be seen. We expect more leaks and renders to surface online as we move closer to the launch event.

Lenovo Z5 To Launch With A Gradient All-Glass Design

While the month of May has been exciting for smartphone enthusiasts, June isn’t looking too grim either. Lenovo is set to launch the Lenovo Z5, a highly anticipated flagship device from the company. Interestingly, we have not seen any sort of leaks pertaining to the Lenovo Z5 which is surprising for a modern-day smartphone. So far, Lenovo has taken the onus upon itself and hinted at a lot of interesting features of the device. In a new post on Weibo, the company gives us a glimpse of what the overall design of the smartphone will be.

Chen Chang, Vice President of Lenovo has been extremely expressive on his Weibo account and posted another photo of the Z5. This time, however, the attention is not on the front, but, on the back of the upcoming smartphone. The Lenovo Z5, according to the official render, will sport an all-glass design with an aluminium frame.

Another interesting feature of the smartphone will be its colour variants. The image shows a gradient colour variant which reminds us of the Twilight colour on the Huawei P20 Pro. The colours change depending on how the light reflects on the glass back which will help the device stand out from the sea of black and gold coloured smartphones.

The Lenovo Z5 has been teased to have a lot of features that can make it one of the best smartphones of 2018. According to a post on Weibo, the Lenovo Z5 will offer 30 minutes of talk time at 0% battery. This might seem like a claim too tall to be true, it is an official teaser and the company wouldn’t backtrack from the claims of its Vice President.

The company has already teased that the Lenovo Z5 could be the first smartphone to offer a 95% screen-to-body ratio. For context, the iPhone X as an 81.1% screen-to-body ratio. In another post, Chang claims that the Lenovo Z5 will have a massive 4TB onboard storage. It has also been confirmed that the Lenovo Z5 won’t have a notch which already means the device will have a different design compared to other flagship smartphones.

The launch is set for June 5th in China and it’ll be surprising if Lenovo doesn’t make the Z5 globally available. Considering the device could be a world-first in many aspects, we expect the company to showcase the device on a global stage.

Lenovo Z5 Will Offer 30 Minutes Of Talk Time At 0% Battery

The Lenovo Z5 better be an amazing device because our expectations are rising with each passing day. The soon to be launched flagship smartphone from Lenovo already looks like the most exciting smartphone of 2018 and we haven’t even reached the halfway mark yet. The Chinese smartphone maker will launch the Z5 on 14th June in its native country and hopefully, bring it to global markets as well. Continuing his strategy of teasing one feature a day, Lenovo’s Vice President Chang Cheng has now teased another feature pertaining to the Z5’s battery performance.

According to his new post on Weibo, the Lenovo Z5 will offer 30 minutes of talk time at 0% battery. This might seem like a claim too tall to be true, it is an official teaser and the company wouldn’t backtrack from the claims of its Vice President. We usually hit the panic button at 10% of battery and here, the Z5 will work even at 0% battery. There must be some sort of software optimisations done by Lenovo which will result in such a battery performance.

This, however, is not the only battery feature that is eye-catching. Cheng Chang recently revealed that the Lenovo Z5’s battery will last up to 45 days on standby. It is worth noting that 45 days worth of standby time cannot be achieved by just a bigger battery. There would be some software optimisation with the help of AI and machine learning.

The company has already teased that the Lenovo Z5 could be the first smartphone to offer a 95% screen-to-body ratio. For context, the iPhone X as an 81.1% screen-to-body ratio. In another post, Chang claims that the Lenovo Z5 will have a massive 4TB onboard storage. This is an extremely bold claim and we will wait before we jump the gun here. This could very well be a vague reference to cloud storage that Lenovo will provide with the Z5.
