The Lenovo Group already has two solid and instantly recognisable brand names in its stable: Lenovo itself, and Motorola. As a result, the company has a variety of solid products that sell in huge numbers the world over. However, like others have done before, Lenovo has decided to market a part of its product range as online-only. These products come under the new Zuk sub-brand.

Lenovo Zuk Z1 Summary

Although a bit old and running a dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC, the Lenovo Zuk Z1 is still a good phone for the price. It packs in good specifications and features, including a fingerprint sensor, good cameras, 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Performance is decent nonetheless, and the phone is worth going for. However, it's only available through the flash sale model, and may be a bit hard to procure as a result.

Network problem.... Lenovo caress less having bad experience

Yudhishthir Bhadane (Jun 24, 2016) on Gadgets 360

Worst phone I ever seen.. Configuration is very good but major problem is Network issue. 15th day after buying this phone, suddenly morning network gone, I went to service center they told its motherboard issue. its not 20 days passed but phone is with service center only. Lot of people are facing same problem. Along with this there are many problems like: - Brightness is adjusting properly suddenly high/low -Music player volume will become high suddenly if phone wakes up -Heating too much Lenovo is careless company they just know how to sell there phone but service is worst

Gaming comparison review

Baar Storm (May 14, 2016) on Gadgets 360

After doing my research work I found out that its the Best in its Price segment.Be it storage, camera performance, connectivity, Display quality, robustness, GPU performance. The only darkside its the quadcore 2.5GHz Multicore performance and that too only if compared to other high specs Octacore precessors. Please someone put a comparison review for Gaming performance and thermal test between Xiaomi Redmi note 3 Vs Lenovo Zuk Z1. Its a hardcore request. thank u!

Sandeep A (Dec 25, 2016) on Gadgets 360

your reviews of Lenovo Zuk Z1 say that it has no compass/magnetometer, which is very misleading! Pls correct!
