Lenovo Z5s Hands On Images Reveal Camera Cutout In The Centre

The Lenovo Z5s was spotted a few days back in a TENAA listing and has been in the headlines ever since. The device sported triple rear cameras and what seemed to be a tear-drop notch. However, latest hands-on images of the phone reveal that it was a camera cut-out and not a notch. This is due to the fact that it is placed in the centre and not the side. Which is seen in the likes of the upcoming Galaxy A8s and the Huawei Nova 4.

The Future Of Design

While it is evident that smartphone manufacturers are moving away from notches and sliding cameras, this might hint at where the trend is now moving. Being the third confirmed device with a camera cut-out, we might be looking at a new wave of smartphone design. The Lenovo Z5s is also important in other aspects as well. For starters, it places the cut-out in the middle of the display. And not to the right side like the Galaxy A8s and the Nova 4.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXrY4Q7DQvE

The centre aligned camera cut-out is not just aesthetically pleasing, but it also more practical in terms of the notification bar. The phone will be able to display all the notification icons without being disturbed by the camera. This is not the case with the right aligned cut-out. The right aligned cut-out will see all the notification icons being squeezed to the other side. However, the central placement also has its drawbacks.

It will be interesting to see how Lenovo sorts out the issue of displaying messages or notification alerts.The Lenovo Z5s is set for a December release, according to its teaser. The phone is said to have a 6.3 inch display and will be Lenovo’s first triple camera phone. It is also said to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8150 chipset, but this information does not seem very credible.

Lenovo Z5 Pro With 95 % Screen-To-Body Ratio Launched

To drive the sliding mechanism, the handset uses 6 double helix springs which the company claims have a life cycle of up to 3,00,000 slides. The smartphone measures 155.12 x 73.04 x 9.3 mm and weighs in at 210 grams. The handset has an astonishing screen-to-body ratio of 95.06%.

Lenovo Z5 Pro Teaser Reveals Dedicated Safety Chip

Lenovo will launch the highly anticipated Z5 Pro on the 1st of November. The Lenovo Z5 Pro will be the successor to the previously launched Z5 and as per reports, it will be a significant update to the latter. Lenovo’s Vice President has been continuously sharing updates on Weibo which provide a good idea about the upcoming flagship. The upcoming Lenovo Z5 Pro has a similar design to the Mi Mix 3 & the upcoming Honor Magic 2.

Sliding Cameras

One of the key highlights of the Lenovo Z5 Pro will be the display which the company claims is a 100 % Full View screen. The smartphone has a sliding screen which reveals the concealed dual front cameras and the speakerphone. It has dual 24 MP + 16 MP front-facing cameras which also might support facial recognition. Yet another cool feature is the fingerprint scanner which is placed under the display.

Double Helix Slider

The poster translated from Chinese reads that the Lenovo Z5 Pro employs six double helix springs to operate the sliding mechanism. The poster also reveals the slider has a life cycle of more than 3,00,000 slides which is similar to Xiaomi’s claims for the Mi Mix 3. Although, it is noteworthy that the Mi Mix 3 uses neodymium magnets instead of springs to operate it’s sliding mechanism.

Hardware Level Security Chip

Another teaser reveals that the Lenovo Z5 Pro has an embedded hardware-based security chip like the Google Pixel 3 XL. The hardware-based chip in the Google Pixel 3 XL adds an additional level of security to the smartphone. The chip stores sensitive information like fingerprint data and banking details and is designed to be tamper resistant. It is expected the Lenovo Z5 Pro will have a similarly conceptualised chip to secure the latest flagship.

Dolby Atmos Sound Support

The latest poster adds to the already feature-rich smartphone as it reveals the smartphone has Dolby Atmos Sound support. Dolby Atmos delivers a rich, immersive sound experience while watching movies and playing games making the smartphone experience even better. The text translated from Chinese also points out some noise reduction technology but, no detailed information is unavailable.

Alleged Specifications

The Lenovo Z5 Pro will likely have the Octa-Core Snapdragon 845 SoC with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. The device might have a larger than 6-inch display and 128 GB or 256 GB of internal memory. As it has become the industry standard for flagship smartphones.

Lenovo Z5 Pro With Sliding Screen Teased Ahead Of Launch

Lenovo is known for their industrial grade Thinkpad laptops and not so much for their smartphones. But, the company has been trying hard to break in to the smartphone market and they have launched some robust smartphones like the K8 Note and the Z5. Recently, the Vice President of Lenovo, Edward Chang has shared a teaser of an upcoming smartphone on Weibo. The device is called the Z5 Pro which is the successor to the Lenovo z5.

Lenovo Z5 Pro Teaser

The teaser shows a smartphone with dual front sliding cameras which look similar to the Xiomi Mi Mix 3 and has and edge-to-edge display. The poster states that the release is scheduled for 1st November which is just 6 days away. It also reads that the smartphone has a full view screen and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Lenovo claims that the Z5 Pro has a 100% screen-to-body ratio as it does not have a notch or speaker grill.

Previously an alleged video of the Z5 Pro was posted on Weibo which appears to be the same device seen in the official teaser. Detailed specifications of the Z5 Pro are not available but it will surely have better specs than its predecessor. For reference:

The Lenovo Z5 has a 6.2 inch Corning Gorilla Glass protected IPS display. The display has a pixel density of 402 ppi and an aspect ratio of 18.7:9. The Lenovo Z5 runs on the Octa-Core Snapdragon 845 SoC which is paired with 6/8 GB of RAM.

Lenovo Z5 Running On Snapdragon 636, With An iPhone X Like Notch Launched

Lenovo started teasing its revolutionary “all-screen” Lenovo Z5 a few weeks ago. The teaser images posted by Lenovo’s Vice President Chang Cheng painted a very rosy image of what the Lenovo Z5 might look like. However, the launch of the Lenovo Z5 revealed that the new smartphone doesn’t look all too different from many Android smartphones of 2018.

The Chinese smartphone maker claims that the Lenovo Z5 has thinner bezels compared to the Mi 8 and the iPhone X. The notch, as well, is smaller on the Z5 compared to the two smartphones. This is true but, it is also worth noting that both the Mi 8 and iPhone X have 3D facial recognition system. This means that the notch on these smartphones solves a purpose, while the notch on the Z5 only houses the necessary sensors and the front camera. The company claims that the Z5 has a 90% screen-to-body which is impressive.

The Lenovo Z5 is priced at CNY 1399 (Rs 14700 approx.) for 64GB storage variant and CNY 1799 (Rs 18,900 approx.) for the 128GB storage model. It goes on sale in China on 12th June at 10 am.

The Lenovo Z5 has a 6.2 inch IPS LCD display with a 2246 x 1080 px resolution. This translates into an 18.7:9 aspect ratio which is mainly because of the notch. The display has the DCI-P3 colour gamut and has a brightness of up to 700 nits.

Teaser Sketch Didn’t Reveal A Notch

Under the hood, the Lenovo Z5 runs on the Snapdragon 636 chipset. This chipset made its global debut with the Redmi Note 5 Pro and has since been used in devices like the Zenfone Max Pro as well. Coupled with the Snapdragon 636 will be 6GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage. The fingerprint sensor is placed on the back of the smartphone and not under the display. This is another feature which was anticipated in the device.

Powering the smartphone is a 3300 mAh battery which will charge via a USB-C port and 18W fast charging support. The 45 days standby time is a software feature, just like we anticipated. Out of the box, the device will run Android 8.1 Oreo with ZenUI 3.9 on top. Lenovo did adopt stock Android last year for devices like the K8 Note but, has stuck to its custom skin for the Z5.

The back of the smartphone houses a vertically-placed dual-camera setup which is uncannily similar to the iPhone X and many other Android devices. Back when the iPhone X was launched, it was mocked for “lack of imagination” as the company barely changed the orientation of the dual-camera. However, here we are with almost every Android device now launching with a vertically-placed dual camera setup. It has a 16MP primary sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and an 8MP secondary sensor. To the front is an 8MP camera with f/2.0 aperture.

The Lenovo Z5 is, without a doubt, far from the promised land. It has features that every other Android device in 2018 possesses and the design as well, is no different from the likes of OnePlus 6 and Mi 8. There are no details about the smartphone launching in India yet, but, we do expect Lenovo to launch the Z5 in other markets as well.

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.

Must Read: Xiaomi Mi 8 Officially Launched With 3D Face Unlock

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.

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

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 With 95% Screen-To-Body Ratio To Launch On June 5th

Up until a few weeks ago, nobody anticipated that a Lenovo flagship device will be one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2018. The company has given us a few hints here and there about the Lenovo Z5 and so far, it looks very impressive. The launch date of the smartphone has now been confirmed by the company and we expect a few more details to be ousted before the unveiling. On its official Weibo account, Lenovo posted the event details which will be held in Beijing, China. The launch event will take place on 5th June 2018 at 2 pm CST (11:30 am IST).

Lenovo’s Vice President Cheng Chang has taken to Weibo to tease a lot of features of the soon to be launched Lenovo Z5. According to his latest post, 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.

The launch date is set and the anticipation around the Lenovo Z5 will only increase as we approach the date. The only caveat about the device could be its availability in countries other than China. However, if the company will deliver on all the promises so far, there is no doubt that Lenovo would want to showcase the Z5 in other major smartphones markets as well.

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.

According to an image posted on Weibo, the Lenovo Z5’s battery will last up to 45 days on standby. The post does not share any information about the capacity of the battery but, it will certainly be a massive one. It is also 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.

Lenovo Z5 Will Have A World-First 4TB Of Onboard Storage

Lenovo is really going all out with the new flagship smartphone. 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. Lenovo VP Chang Cheng has been active on his Weibo account recently, teasing different aspects of the soon to be launched Android smartphone.

A few days ago, Lenovo’s Vice President Chang Cheng shared a teaser image of the company’s upcoming flagship device on his Weibo page. The image revealed the top-left side of the smartphone which hinted at the fact that the device won’t have a notch. The bezels were also extremely thin. He then posted a sketch of the smartphone which revealed extremely thin uniform bezels around the display. Cheng has again posted a teaser of the Lenovo Z5, revealing the bottom half of the smartphone.

There are rumours that the smartphone will have a flip-up front camera, something we saw at MWC 2018. The fingerprint sensor could have easily been placed at the back but, rumours claim the smartphone will have an in-display fingerprint sensor. However, considering how expensive that tech still is, we expect a rear-mounted fingerprint reader on the Lenovo Z5. The sketch also revealed the USB C port located at the bottom while the headphone jack is missing. It is possible that the company could place it on the top but, considering the industry-wide trend, we could see headphone jack-less Lenovo Z5.

Bit by bit, the Lenovo Z5 is being introduced to the world, and so far, the details look promising. The launch is set for June 14th and it’ll be interesting to see if this device will ever make its way outside China.

Lenovo Z5 Will Be The Truly Bezel-Less Smartphone Everyone Wants

Every year, the smartphone industry is dictated by a trend. 2017 was all about the 18:9 aspect ratio and shrinking the bezels. In September 2017, Apple launched the iPhone X which had a different take on a “bezel-less” design and featured a notch. While the iPhone X was ridiculed in the beginning, it has since become the bestselling smartphone in the world and also inspired an industry-wide trend of 2018, notches. However, it appears that Lenovo won’t be a part of the herd and launch a truly bezel-less smartphone, the Lenovo Z5 this year.

A few days ago, Lenovo’s Vice President Chang Cheng shared a teaser image of the company’s upcoming flagship device on his Weibo page. The image revealed the top-left side of the smartphone which hinted at the fact that the device won’t have a notch. The bezels were also extremely thin.

Cheng has again posted a teaser of the Lenovo Z5, revealing the bottom half of the smartphone.

The screen of the smartphone is off in the image so it is hard to make out the size of the chin. However, even in the image, the bezels look extremely thin and somehow, too good to be true. But, with such bold claims by the VP of Lenovo, it is certain that the company will deliver to those claims.

There are rumours that the smartphone will have a flip-up front camera, something we saw at MWC 2018. The fingerprint sensor could have easily been placed at the back but, rumours claim the smartphone will have an in-display fingerprint sensor. However, considering how expensive that tech still is, we expect a rear-mounted fingerprint reader on the Lenovo Z5. The sketch also revealed the USB C port located at the bottom while the headphone jack is missing. It is possible that the company could place it on the top but, considering the industry-wide trend, we could see headphone jack-less Lenovo Z5.

The launch of the Z5 is still over a month away. It’s becoming more likely that this could be the truly bezel-less smartphone we’ve all been waiting for. However, we can’t 100% sure until the smartphone has launched.

Lenovo Z5 Will Have iPhone X Like Thin Bezels Without The Notch

A couple of days ago, Lenovo’s Vice President Chang Cheng shared a teaser image of the company’s upcoming flagship device on his Weibo page. The image revealed the top-left side of the smartphone which hinted at the fact that the device won’t have a notch. The bezels were also extremely thin. To continue hyping up the phone, the Lenovo VP has posted a sketch of the smartphone, the Lenovo Z5.

If this one image is anything to go by, the Lenovo Z5 might be one of the most exciting smartphones to launch this year. The sketch reveals that the Z5 won’t have a notch, and the bezels will be evenly spread out on all sides. The sketch, which could exaggerate the design a bit, shows iPhone X-like thin bezels on all sides of the smartphone.

Many questions arise after looking at the sketch. The front camera, earpiece and the necessary sensors appear to be missing here. There are rumours that the smartphone will have a flip-up front camera, something we saw at MWC 2018. The fingerprint sensor could have easily been placed at the back but, rumours claim the smartphone will have an in-display fingerprint sensor. However, considering how expensive that tech still is, we expect a rear-mounted fingerprint reader on the Lenovo Z5.

The sketch also shows the USB C port located at the bottom while the headphone jack is missing. It is possible that the company could place it on the top but, considering the industry-wide trend, we could see headphone jack-less Lenovo Z5. Apart from that, the image doesn’t really tell us anything else about the device.

The launch of the flagship device is still over a month away. The new sketch does increase the interest in the Z5, especially considering the slew of smartphones that sport a notch these days. The Lenovo Z5 could be a breath of fresh air the smartphone industry is in dire need of.
