Lenovo created quite a hype when they teased the renders of their upcoming Z5 smartphone. The device caught the eye of the public because its renders showed an all-screen setup. Sadly, that was false hope as the phone was revealed to have a notch.
The Lenovo Z5 is still not a shabby looking device. It has an almost bezel-less display and a colorful yet very shiny back panel. As for the specs we have a 6.2-inch 19:9 FHD+ IPS display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 octa-core processor, Adreno 509 GPU, 6GB RAM, 64GB or 128GB internal storage, Android 8.1 Oreo, and a 3,300mAh battery.
As for cameras, we have a dual camera setup consisting of a 16MP main and an 8MP secondary while the front is an 8MP shooter.

Ive been planning to buy Redmi Note 5 to replace my Redmi 5 16gb/2gb. Until I saw this z5. I can live with the notch. I got tired of MiUI’s RAM management and its stealth-download of update ROM(even if I don’t want to). Imagine I need to delete 1.44gb ROM almost daily. Then there’s the micro-usb. If not for the RN5’s battery life then I’ll be glad to switch to z5 immediately. z5 has the cheapest SD636+internal/RAM combo i’ve seen.
