Short Review

  • The Lenovo ZUK Z1 mini features a compact design with a 4.7-inch IPS LCD display, offering a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of approximately 312 ppi.
  • It is powered by a Mediatek MT6755 Helio P10 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and options for 2GB or 3GB of RAM, providing adequate performance for everyday tasks.
  • The rear camera is 8 MP with autofocus, capable of capturing decent photos, though it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The battery capacity is unspecified, but it supports standard charging without wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The build quality is solid, available in white and black colors, though specific materials and dimensions are not detailed.

  • Overall, the ZUK Z1 mini is a compact device suitable for users seeking basic functionality without advanced features.
  • Its performance and camera capabilities are adequate for casual use, but limitations in software and connectivity may be a drawback for some.
