Lenovo Vibe Z Review

联想进军智能手机市场，推出了从低端到旗舰的众多型号。这里我们介绍的是 联想 Vibe Z K910L，联想的 Snapdragon 800 版，面向追求顶级规格的消费者，能够与 LG G2 和 Nexus 5 等产品竞争。阅读我们的完整评测，了解这款来自中国电脑制造商的智能手机是否能够兑现其承诺。

The Vibe Z succeeded the Lenovo K900 as the company's flagship smartphone this year. Lenovo shifted from Intel to Qualcomm in order to provide a device that supports LTE.

设计与建造

Starting with its physical aspects, the Lenovo Vibe Z is a fairly big phone due to its 5.5" display. It is made out of polycarbonate, so it is light weight. Though the back panel of the device sports a textured finish with silver color coating.

环绕设备，左侧只有音量键，别无他物。右侧只有一个微型SIM卡槽。设备底部是微型USB接口，顶部则是电源/锁定键和3.5mm耳机插孔。

整个正面由全高清显示屏主导，配备 Gorilla Glass 3，确保防刮擦并实现流畅滑动。耳机在关闭时隐藏 LED 通知灯，主麦克风则紧贴下巴。

虽然 Vibe Z 的外观并不会让人惊艳，但其设计与周围环境高度融合。例如，当你把它平放在办公室的桌面上时，Vibe Z 看起来专业，而不像玩具手机。

操作系统、应用程序和用户界面

Lenovo Vibe Z 运行 Android 4.3 “Jellybean”，并在其上覆盖了联想的皮肤。这里没有像当前 Android 智能手机那样的虚拟导航按钮。导航依赖触摸，并使用下面的三个电容按钮。

由于联想的皮肤，应用抽屉找不到了。所有应用都显示在主屏幕上，这让我们想起 Huawei 的 Emotion UI 和 Apple 的 iOS。说实话，尤其是如果你习惯了 Vanilla Android 或其他类似皮肤，需要一些时间来适应。我们觉得把所有应用——无论你是否经常使用——都放在同一个地方有点繁琐。好在你可以创建文件夹，隐藏那些不想每天看到的应用。

总体而言，这款皮肤如黄油般顺滑，不会导致任何卡顿不像 TouchWiz 那样。还值得注意的是，联想内置了他们的专有应用，用于同步、共享、安全、功耗管理和数据传输辅助。这些并不完全算是臃肿软件，因为你可能也会下载类似的应用，所以看到它们预装且已优化是件好事。

Since this is a 5.5" smartphone, our tiny hands can't compensate for one-handed us. Then we found out this nifty feature in the dialer that automatically shifts the numpad towards where the phone is leaning. It's easy and it works! We're pretty sure Lenovo's customization does not end there so be sure to dig in and look for other useful features when you're getting the Vibe Z.

相机与多媒体

配备13MP射手和5MP自拍摄像头，Vibe Z 在成像方面毫不逊色。它还有双 LED 闪光灯，可在低光环境下提供帮助，但凭借 f/1.8 光圈，摄像头本身已经是一个出色的表现。但这些都只是纸面上的说法。因此我们测试了它是否真的是一款出色的相机手机。

根据近两周的使用情况，我们发现 Vibe Z 的相机表现相当不错，尽管在这个价位我们见过更好的。在光线充足的情况下，13MP 后置摄像头能够捕捉到大量细节，色彩也相当不错。但在暗光环境下情况会大幅改变，画面会变得模糊，像油画一样。我猜 f/1.8 并没有起到帮助，或者是后期处理算法的原因。

5MP 自拍摄像头与其他智能手机的前置摄像头不同。光线良好时，它明亮且清晰。它绝对是视频通话和自拍的好前置摄像头。

Vibe Z 的视频录制功能令人失望。即使是 1080p，剪辑中的细节也显得模糊，麦克风的音频捕捉也不够好。颜色也显得有些暗淡。请自行查看示例。

切换到视频播放时，Vibe Z 那宽大的 5.5 英寸显示屏非常适合多媒体内容。随附的入耳式耳机质量不错，手机的扬声器相当不错，但并不是很响。

全高清播放在这里也不是问题，随时投放你的1080p电影，即可享受即时移动影院。

性能与基准

配备 Snapdragon 800、Adreno 330 和 2GB RAM，这款智能手机性能强劲。所有操作都流畅且响应迅速。多任务处理轻而易举，图形密集型游戏也能在高设置下运行。因此，尽情享受水花、镜头光晕和流畅的反射效果吧。

以下是 Lenovo Vibe Z 的基准分数：
Antutu 4 - 35,082
Quadrant Standard - 20,663
Vellamo HTML5 - 2912
Vellamo Metal - 1142
Nenamark 2 - 60fps

通话质量、连接性和电池寿命

Expect clear and quality calls on either end when using the Vibe Z. The dedicated noise-cancelling microphone does it job well. The earpiece is also fairly loud even in noisy environments like schools and public places. There is also LTE on board with decent speeds that is network dependent. NFC is not present on the other hand which is a bummer because latest accessories are NFC-capable for easy usage.

With a 3,000mAh battery, we were able to use the Vibe Z for a whole day with little to spare overnight. That is with data connection on and casual calls and text. Having a full day battery is already a good sign of a great road companion.

Conclusion

As we come to an end, we can confidently say that the Lenovo Vibe Z is a beast of a smartphone that can outperform some of high-end Android smartphones. With a suggested retail price of Php24,999 (street price could be lower), it's not as attractive as it should be but these specs come with a price.
