Lenovo Z2 Plus Look and Design.
Z2 Plus is a slim profile handset an upd weighing only 150 grams. The texture of the phone is such that it looks like iPhone SE . This phone uses fiberglass frames instead of the usual metal body, so that the weight is low. And to be strengthened, Magnishim's Alloy Roll Cage is present. The back part of the phone is completely glass, it is good to look and feel good even hands. Sadly, fingerprints are very fast on this.
Lenovo Z2 Plus smartphone is available in White and Black color. Our review unit was of black color and it looks better than white ones in appearance. You will not see Zook's branding, only Lenovo's logo will be seen on the back. As we said earlier that you have to clean the glass back panel repeatedly.
There are power and volume buttons on the right side of the phone. It has also been replaced with a SIM tray. There are dual sim slots in the phone, in which you will be able to use two nano SIMs. Storage can not be increased. At the bottom of the phone there are speakers grill, 3.5mm jack and USB type-c port. 3500 mAh battery can not be removed by user. On the front panel, a home button has been given for many functions, which also works as a fingerprint sensor. The screen is present in 70 percent of the phone front panel.
Fingerprint sensor has been improved in comparison to Zook Z1. It is also much more accurate as it is faster. It works even when the phone is in standby mode. You will be able to store 5 fingerprints. The phone is easy to unlock. However, it is still not as fast as the OnePlus 3 . Lenovo says that the ability to identify its fingerprint over time will be more accurate. It is a physical button that can detect touch and gesture.
Lenovo has completely changed the way the user interfaces interact with this button's ability. Tap on the button means pressing the back and down side will take you to the home screen. It is possible to perform different actions on swipe right and left, pressing twice and pressing the button for a long time. It can be changed through the Settings app. We like the changes the company has made If you do not like it, then the settings on the old on-screen button can be activated by going into settings.
Lenovo Z2 Plus has a 5-inch full-HD LTPS LCD screen. Its pixel is density 441 ppi. It's sharp, clean and bright screen. The maximum brightness in sunlight also does not have trouble reading on the screen. However, we found that the adaptive brightness settings of the phone did not work many times. We had to manually fix the brightness manually by going into settings. We thought that the quality of the screen was not coming due to the matte screen guard given by the company.
Overall the phone's screen is good. But this is not as spectacular as the screen of many other flagship Android smartphone.
Lenovo Z2 Plus Specifications.
Qualcomm's Powerful Snapdragon 820 chipset has been used in many flagship phones this year. Including Shawmee Mi 5 , OnePlus 3 and Leico Le Max 2 . Now Snapdragon 821 is the company's flagship processor, but the 820 is still very powerful and capable processor. The advantage of this is Lenovo Z2 Plus.
Two variants of Lenovo Z2 Plus are available in India. The affordable variant is Rs 17, 999, which is equipped with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of storage. At the same time, Rs. 19, 999 is available with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage version. Well, we suggest you buy a variant of 4 GB RAM / 64GB storage. Because the support for the MicroSD card is not available in the phone, in such a way, you may feel the lack of storage at any time.
The phone will support Wi-Fi A / B / G / N / AC connectivity, Bluetooth 4.1 and USB 2.0 Type-C connector. The company has given a 10-watt charger with a phone that disappoints us. However, the charging of the phone is not very slow. But, there is nothing about quick charging.
Lenovo Z2 Plus software.
Syonogen OS was used in Zook Z1. At the same time, Z2 Plus comes with custom built ZUI which is much like the Google Now Launcher. Attributes such as home screen, widgets, and app drawers give Google a sense of.
In the interface and software you will not get customization options like Syanogen OS. Customization can be controlled through the Settings app. However, there is a slight reduction in polishing in the interface. We encountered conflicts of grammar and spelling in some places. Surprisingly, we found the camera settings in the General Settings app as well. However, even the camera can be accessed through the app.
Z2 Plus runs on Android 6.0.1 Hopefully the company will continue to issue security patches for this device continuously. At present, this handset has not been able to get the update of the Android 7.0 Noga update.
LENOVO Z2 PLUS CAMERA.
Lenovo Z2 Plus has a 13-megapixel primary camera. There is a single-tone LED flash with it. The front camera of the handset is 8 megapixels. With the rear camera, you will be able to record 4 video resolutions. At the same time, the front camera is capable of recording video of 1080 pixel resolution.
All common modes are present in the Camera app, including Panorama, Time Laps, and Slow Motion videos. Apart from this you will find basic filters in the settings app. Shortcut icons are provided for video mode, camera switcher, flash, HDR and gallery. You will be able to control the resolution from the settings menu. It is worth noting that Slow Motion Frame Rate has three options. It also includes 960 frames per second mode.
After researching about 960 frame per second mode, we found that this is a game of processing. Truly the framerate is 120 frames per second and the resolution is 720 pixels. The phone automatically gives more feel to the framerate by slowing the playback. The videos shot on 960 FPS or 240 FPS framerate are not really sloppies. The decrease between the frames is clearly visible. It would be better to shoot 120 frames per second in the framerate. Z2 Plus is not far ahead of other phones in this department.
You will get the option of shooting the common video in 2160 pixels. In this mode you will find more Sharp and Detail Clips. However, when shooting at this resolution the phone becomes slightly hot and the battery ends very fast. Video still comes at 1080 pixels.
Photography was a little disappointing with Lenovo Z2 Plus. Photos are not bad from somewhere, but this flagship does not come true to the handset's expectations. The camera's performance is like a common mid-range device. Colors are a bit dull. You will see the grain in the dark area. It is not easy to take photos when there is no suitable light. Camera of Z2 Plus smartphone is sometimes OK to take photographs. If you prefer to take a lot of pictures then this phone is not for you.
Lenovo Z2 Plus Performance.
The Lenovo Z2 Plus performance is good as expected. And its credit goes to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. Our review unit had 4 GB RAM which is more than needed at this time. The second variant has 3 GB RAM. He will also be fully competent. There is no problem switching between playing games and apps. The software behind it is also handy. However, when we were playing a game with more powerful graphics, there was a complaint of the phone being warmer. Because of this, the battery consumption was much faster. Benchmark results of this handset are good Keeping in mind the Snapdragon 820 processor, we were expecting similar results.
Lenovo Zod 2 Plus battery lasted 16 hours and 40 minutes in our video loop test. It will go on for a day in common use, which is excellent considering the hardware specification of the handset. The quality of Wi-Fi, cellular connectivity and voice calls was good. However, the phone's speakers are not very good. Can not expect a higher voice than this.
My decision.
After the mobile phone floods in the budget and mid-range segment, the efforts of companies are to present the phones with high-end specification in the price of mid-range. Lenovo Z2 Plus is capable of challenging any flagship device in terms of performance.
Although Lenovo Z2 Plus is not the most inviting flagship phone, its most important feature is the price. At Rs. 17, 999, this phone promises to give you the best quality at affordable prices. The variant of Rs. 19, 999 is also cheaper than other flagship devices with similar specifications. For this reason it is easy for us to suggest you buy this phone.
Lenovo Z2 Plus meets the price of flagship performance and quality in the price of the mid range. If the camera quality is not the most important for you then this phone is for you.
Best phone in this price because best proccessor and best camera and 64gb.
