A new brand is born and its first phone aims to impress - meet the Lenovo-owned ZUK and the ZUK Z1. Details about both are a bit scarce at the moment, but the Z1 has already gone through its first review (it's in Chinese, so you might need help from Google Translate). A metal frame holds the 5.5" IPS screen with 1080p resolution, the back is glossy plastic. The phone itself is 8.9mm thick, which thankfully means a beefy 4,100mAh battery. It comes with a fast 2.5A charger too. The ZUK Z1 is powered by Android, of course, version 5.1 skinned with the in-house ZUI software. It runs on a Snapdragon 801 chipset rather than Qualcomm's new 64 bit models. It's hooked up to 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (no microSD, 53.6GB free). ZUK Z1 Below the screen is the U-Touch home button, which sports a fingerprint reader for added security. It's also used for some quick gestures throughout the UI. The company will launch LG-like flip cases with a round window for a virtual clock. The Z1 camera uses a 13MP Sony IMX214 sensor, a popular sensor but unlike most phones with it this one comes with optical image stabilization. You also get an 8MP camera on the front. The phone is a dual-SIM handset with 4G LTE for wireless connectivity and USB Type C for wired connectivity. The ZUK Z1 is priced at CNY 1,800 ($285/€258). It's not entirely clear when it will launch just yet. Source (in...
