Unpacking and Unboxing

Here we have the case of our ZUK Z1, A presentation very minimalist and neat , all very neat and all accessories in individual boxes and each accessory into place very similar to the presentation of Meizu OnePlus One Mx5 or a 10 in this regard . Many people tell me that because in the case show reviews, because very simple, because this is the first impression of a product you're buying teas, and if car then expect this to match, of course ...

This ZUK Z1 series brings us the right and necessary for its operation , as well as other manufacturers, they have also dispensed with the addition of headphones or other types optional accessories, in any case, these are the ones that include us

As usual, I leave in detail the amperage of the adapter to the wall to carry the load, which in this case is 2 Amps with plug European, as my unit is the international version, so we will not have any trouble use in Spain.

The main novelty of this ZUK Z1 is to be equipped with the device with USB type C , which for those who do not know is a connector reversible , that is, no matter where in the position that "enchufemos" similar to the Lightning of the Iphone , besides this in particular has the peculiarity that is 3.0 .

The USB cable type C that includes us is Plano and fairly "hard" , which is very well to avoid "clutter" as if going through all the normal life.

Design and Finishes Zuk Z1

ZUK phone offers a " unibody "with a spectacular design, together with an excellent build quality and materials , mostly plastic and metal that can be found in colors bright as my unit or matte gray .

The front of the Zuk Z1 is completely smooth , leaving the screen thanks to the fully embedded metal framework very similar to the iphone 6 .A part, Zuk has chrome bezel linking the front with the profile, getting a pretty striking elegant touch, We also have a physical button is actually a fingerprint reader

as negative point in my opinion is the distance between the bottom of the screen and the fingerprint sensor , because it seems a bit excessive distance.

We will see in detail, as usual .

[IMG="zuk z1"]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-47YABqtlfvU/VjAGzJ2dvOI/AAAAAAAADfg/dVpjJVTGi8Q/s640/_DSC8109.JPG[/IMG]

On the front bottom we find a physical button that their main function is Home and is also a fingerprint reader , which works very well and will talk more in depth on just the sides of the button (although not seen in the images) we find 2 capacitive buttons as that point are backlit white and his function is Back and Multitasking .

[IMG="zuk z1"]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jcBdD59g6Jc/VjAGw2Xk_ZI/AAAAAAAADfQ/PzVLBKczzKU/s640/_DSC8104.JPG[/IMG]

At the top we have a 5 megapixel camera , speaker, right next to the latter, the typical sensors and finally, left speaker LED RGB notifications .

On the Right side we find the buttons off / lock and volume , while the Left have tray 2 SIM cards NANO .The buttons are aluminum as part l to regression / progression of the buttons very good , I have not noticed that the buttons " dance "of your site too much, but something if they "dance" .

...........

Performance

The Z1 ZUK mounted a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 , the same as most terminals high range of the past generation .A four cores at 2.5 GHz clock frequency of 32 bits and graphics chip Adreno 330 with 3GB RAM .

As you can imagine this well-known processor has no problem running apps and more powerful games . Not a single lag or slow-down've seen all the time I've been discussing , however, if a certain heating of the terminal, in his back , when many heavy tasks we demand .Also while charging .It is overly alarming since the case in several devices that mount the same processor as the LG G3, and InFocus Samsung M810 galaxy s5 among others, so that it could call normal.

To give you an idea of their performance I leave the most common benchmark.

TESTING

Antutu: overall performance of the terminal

Quadrant: overall performance of the terminal

3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited: graphics performance

Geekbench 3: processor speed

NeNa Mark 2: graphics performance.

Need to know any specific information? Such as whether or FM Radio has gyroscope, demasido not to extend the review, here I leave with catches all the sensors that have this terminal.

Cargo range and speed

As we saw in the opening paragraph of this review, the ZUK Z1 has a large battery 4.100mah , and after several charging cycles can say that we have no problem getting to use 2 days without charge , of course, as long as taking into account the hours that the screen is on.

Speaking of pure and duration in tests after several cycles of charging the mobile has been able to overcome, long, the 20 hours of normal use with 6 hours of consumption display , which is in line with what was promised and may even improve further the hours of active screen.

Having a battery also has its cons, one of them is the loading time , ie, what takes our terminal to fully charge, well, after several charges I have been measuring the time it takes a full load and in all tests given me as approximate result of 3 hours and 20 minutes , with faster loading of 0% to 20% the rest of percentages, since the latter is able to charge the 20% of the terminal as just 22 minutes .

Conclusion and Opinion

The Chinese market continues to advance unabated in all sectors, and of course, the segment of mobile telephony not atrás.Xiaomi, and Meizu OnePlus remains revealed a reality that now more and more users are aware, now comes ZUK, the sub Lenovo direct competition of these last 3.

This ZUK Z1 has an excellent performance, coupled with a more than generous battery and one of the most complete photographic sections of this price , without the fingerprint reader and USB type C so it ends up forming one of the best Chinese smartphones of the moment , but it also has aspects that do not like a lot like the absence of the band 800 on 4G in the future when it is put into operation or problem wifi on the ZUK company will have to work on a solution.

Best of Zuk Z1

Autonomy : Its battery 4.100mAh go far

Performance : The overall performance of this device is sublime

Fingerprint Reader : We have it in the front and it works very well

Worst of Zuk Z1

Wifi : The problem that we say above is a point to consider (probably solvable)

Band 800 : The inclusion can not be a reason to consider by some users

Connectivity: The failure to transpose FM or NFC chip is a point to consider for some users
