Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro with 2.5 GHz Quad-Core processor and 3 GB RAM : Full Review and First Look


Key Features of Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro

  • 5 MP Secondary Camera
  • Android v4.4 (KitKat) OS
  • 16 MP Primary Camera
  • 3 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM
  • 4000 mAh Battery
  • Wi-Fi Enabled
  • 6-inch Capacitive Touchscreen
  • 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC Quad Core Processor


Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro is priced at Rs 32,999 .


Review :

Pros :
1. The 6 inch QHD screen is impressively amazing. The bezels are so thin and make the phone look super cool.
2. The build of the phone is of premium looks. The phone is incredibly thin and the metallic feel complements it's overall style.
3. The snapdragon 801 chipset married to a 3 GB RAM makes scrolling through the UI and running various apps so lag free and fluid.
4. The camera is amazing ! Take my word for it. It's amazing.
5. The Vibe UI is cool. The wallpaper switching effect is cool.
5. It has a notification LED. I love notification LEDs.
6. The sound quality is good, though the bass seems to be a little less.
7. The phone has a mammoth battery of 4000 mA. And it lasts long. Really long.
8. I love the fact we can switch to stock android UI without having to root the phone. That's a really interesting feature.
9. Almost the apps we need come bundled. There's no much bloat-ware.
10. 4K video recording is crystal clear. Fantabulous !

Cons :
1. I wish it had an expandable memory slot. Especially because of its ability to record 4K videos, the memory would be full soon.
2. I wish the second SIM slot was 3G enabled. (Too much to ask?, maybe...)
3. I wish the earphones that came bundled were of a more premium quality.
4. The rear camera juts out of the body a bit. That's of some concern as the glass can get scratches soon.
