Comparisons Featuring Lenovo ZUK Z1 mini
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- Running on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.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.
- The phone does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the ZUK Z1 mini is a compact device suitable for users seeking basic functionality without advanced features.
