Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro 4G Smartphone

Hi. in this review I am going to point the advantages and disadvantages of Zuk z2 pro, I have been using this phone for over 2 months, and bought it from Gearbest, on 28 August.
- PRICE - price is all about this phone, 250 Eur. is nothing for this phone, plus this includes DHL delivery.
- Huge processor: Snapdragon 820 is a very powerful processor, that allows you to make everything a phone is capable of.
- Huge RAM: This phone comes with 6 GB of ddr4 ram, that provides a 16 GB/s of access speed, just like phones with a cost over 1000 USD.
- Huge ROM: 128 GB of UFS 2.0 memory that allows a speed of 430MB/s for read and 200 MB/s for write.
- Huge hardware for the camera: The camera of this phone has 13 mp and a 1.8 aperture, which as you might not know, is better to be as small as possible, to allow the maximum amount of light to pass to the sensor, 8mpx for the second camera.
- FullHD SUPER AMOLED (true black) display with a 420 PPI (human eye steps off at over 300)
- USB 3.1 that allows you to transfer files between 2 devices at a speed up to 10GB /s
- 4k video shooting with a decent bitrate
- Slow motion at 960 fps.
- Fast fingerprint
- Huge game performance: Snapdragon 820 in combination with Adreno 530 gives you an excellent game experience.
- The huge community that is always ready to help you in solving problems.
- A lot of custom rooms, including Flyme , Lineage, MIUI, AEX.
- Possibility to overclock Snapdragon 820 to a Snapdragon 821.
- 2 Nano sims
- Supports all LTE bands.
- Very good wifi connection.
- Metallic frame

Suggestion

- The one and biggest is unavailability of Camera2api, its a build propriety that allows you to shot photos in raw format, a format that saves brute photo from the sensor, for post-editing (can be enabled in some custom ROMs)
- The phone comes with bad custom rom a.k.a "international". ( is easily changed to an official, OTA updates.)
-Lacks NFC.
Below are some photos from this phone.

Muy buena pantalla, buen sonido, funciona perfectamente cualquier juego, la camara hace unas fotos muy buenas de día, por la noche la calidad baja pero estoy supercontento con el, lo volvería a comprar. Me llego con rom multilenguaje y play store instalada, meter la tarjeta sim y ha funcionar. El envío se demoro un poco, todos los terminales que compré aquí me tardaron unos 15 días, este ha tardado casi un mes, pero mecere la pena la espera. Como siempre con Gearbest todo perfecto, y ya van unos cuantos.

Suggestion

En la semana que llevo con el ningun tipo de problema, más adelante no lo se, por ahora todo perfecto.

The phone was a real nice hardware for the price.
The camera isn't the best on the market, but is really nice. I'm really surprised with the quality to be honest.
It's really beautiful. Premium details in the box and in the phone too.
Audio quality is amazing, incredible clear, but not much loud.
I'm impressed. It's a flagship for the a low price!

Suggestion

Comes with a Shop ROM and not with Lenovo's Official ROM. But the change is easy so...

- Smartphone fluido
- Bons acabamentos exteriores
- Com pelicula de ecrã colocada
- Com adaptador de corrente compativel com o país de entrega
- Especificações de hardware muito boas para o preço:
* 6GB de Ram - óptimos para manter apps abertas em segundo plano
* Processador com excelente desempenho
* Ecrã com imagem bastante boa
* Apresenta sensores para medição de frequência cardíaca e oxímetro
* Dual Sim

Suggestion

- Rom a precisar de ser revista:
* baseada em android 6;
* tradução em PT-PT apenas parcial- algumas opções ainda em inglês; escrita automática pouco completa (quase inexistente);
* não tem atualizacoes via OTA
*Tudo isto, segundo revisões que li, passível de ser resolvido por alteração de rom que não realizei por achar a rom de utilização bastante satisfatória.
- Não é possível colocar microSD (como tem 128Gb de memória interna não considero ser um problema, apenas uma limitação)

ZUK Z2 Pro è un ottimo prodotto e il vero motivo che lo rende meno "brillante" rispetto allo scorso anno è in sostanza il software, ancora troppo "asiatico" (l'anno scorso c'era invece Cyanogen nel mezzo!). Se però sapete dove mettere le mani questo Z2 Pro è uno degli smartphone più interessanti, anche per la sua qualità costruttiva e le sue dimensioni "contenute". Almeno rispetto alla concorrenza.

Suggestion

Il software è pensato per l'Asia
Dovrete perdere tempo con Play Store, lingua italiana e app
Messa a fuoco lenta
Niente NFC

firstly, i would like to say that this phone is much more than i expected , its slim, fast, camera takes good pictures in low light as well, have lots of sensors, cpux found 45 of them, sound quality is very good also, first charge lasted around 24 hours, with over 7 hours of usage with brightness around half and wifi on and much more that dosent come to mind right now

Suggestion

theres nothing negative to say about it, just few minor things like the software that came with it was android 6, a custom firmware, with no ota capability, so i had to change to stock rom to get update to android 7 and otas but fortunately that metod didnt need root or unlock the bootloader, the stock rom had no google play installed and few chinese apps but again, fortunately the phone lets you uninstall them and one of the app lets you download applications without the need of an account whiched helped me get google play easily and one last thing, the charger is chinese. aside from these, nothing else to say. its a great phone.

Suggestion

Great smartphone at great price.
It comes with custom Rom multilanguage with ZUI.
Easy to change Rom, to stock and custom Rom via twrp.

Battery last almost 7-9 hours.

Perfect phone! Highly recommended.

Suggestion

Does not exist Stock Rom multilanguage with ZUI, so if you want multilanguage you must install custom Rom like AEX or others.

no more cons.

todo esta a favor, la relación costo-precio es sumamente elevada, atienden rápido en las preguntas personalizadas por inbox, llegó en aproximadamente 3 semanas, desde que uno ve la caja es una belleza de material hasta el cartón, hay gente que critica lo limitado de "personalizacion" pero con tantas aplicaciones es lo de menos, es un terminal que se usa para cosas que demandan muchos recursos.

Suggestion

Ninguna
