[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] TechlineHD:
Hi,

I just made a ZUK Z2 video review that I wanted to share with you:

Mod Edit: Link removed.

I hope you enjoy it!

In case you prefer written reviews, here it is:

ZUK is Lenovo-backed company, which makes some great phones at affordable prices. Z2 is one of their latest models and I have to tell you that I love this phone but make sure to watch this video to hear all the pros and cons about the device. This is Linus, stay tuned.

First of all, the price. The phone retails for just under $330 and the Z2 is definitely a great bang for your buck. In fact, I have a generous $30 off coupon code, which you will find in the video description. At $299, ZUK Z2 is very hard to beat.

The device sports a familiar yet classy design and extra-ordinary build quality. The metal frame goes all around the device and a Gorilla Glass 4-covered back panel has a some sort of coating that prevents it from attracting those gross fingerprints and smudges.

The buttons are nice and tactile, the phone has two nano SIM card slots and the loudspeaker quality is pretty good but definitely not the best I’ve heard.

The 5” 1080p display is sharp and crisp, and it makes the phone compact and manageable in one hand.

An 8MP selfie shooter can take some pretty good pictures.

ZUK did a phenomenal job using a multi-purpose physical home button. You can click it, tap it, swipe from one side to another, reprogram it and so on.

A fingerprint sensor may not be the fastest on the market but it gets the job done and it works straight from the standby mode.

Another thing that I love about the ZUK Z2 is that it is a very fast phone and that it is thanks to the bleeding-edge specifications. The phone has a Snapdragon 820 chip, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of on-board storage.

These kind of specs not only match all the latest flagships in terms of sheer power but also assure a smooth user interface performance despite the fact that the UI has tons of features, various tweaks and customization options.

Also, you can be rest assured that the phone will run all the latest 3D games without any issues.

A phone sports a 13MP camera with f/2.2 aperture and it can take some great daylight images but the quality decreases in lower-lit situations. Also, the phone can shoot some decent looking 4k videos.

Finally, ZUK Z2 sports a beefy 3500mAh battery that can be fully charged in under 1 h and 30 mins. As for day to day use, I could constantly get over 5 hours of SOT on a mixed use of the phone.

On the other hand, ZUK Z2 is not a perfect smartphone. Although it has 64GB of storage as standard and dual SIM support, it lacks the microSD card slot. I’m okay with that but I know that it is a very important feature for a lot of users.

Although the phone can handle 3D games well, I’ve noticed that it gets really warm pretty quickly. The heat doest not impair performance but hopefully this is what ZUK is going to address in the future software updates.

Finally, the display could be slightly brighter to assure a better sunlight legibility.

All in all, ZUK Z2 is a fantastic phone for the price of $300. Sure, it is not a perfect device but I believe this is one of the offerings for the price despite a few shortcomings.
