Is Lenovo ZUK Edge Mobile Phone is a Right Choice to Buy?

Finally, the rumors have become real and now it is official. ZUK, the subsidiary of Lenovo, welcomes its catalog to the new ZUK Edge. The phone was released in Australia at New Year on January 1st. It comes with a wide list of dazzling specifications, but the screen is perhaps the heavy weight of the smartphone in terms of design. Without giving up the Lenovo ZUK Edge Mobile Phone prices, it again bets on integrating high-quality components. Let’s have a look at all the news that brings the new ZUK Edge.

Camera

A camera bets on Samsung’s ISOCELL sensor technology as it goes up to 13MP with f/2.2 aperture. It comes with a hybrid approach that combines phase and contrast detection and has some exciting features such as PDAF + CAF, 5-element lens and LED flash. On the other hand, in the upper frame is the 8MP front camera which works quite well. Though the video recording capabilities weren’t detailed but it is safe to assume that it records video at 4K.

Design

The Lenovo ZUK Edge64GB Mobile Phones are equipped with an 86.4% screen-to-body ratio and has an impressive design especially for small company. It seems that minimizing bezels are quite trendy nowadays, though, the screen-to-body ratio isn’t much higher, still good than most smartphones available today. Moreover, the phone has an aluminum structure that surrounds the body. Whereas in the back and front, the crystal is the material chosen to give a premium factor to this device of great wingspan. As compared to the Samsung’s edge variants, the ZUK Edge doesn’t have curved glass, but you can find a 2.50 piece of glass on the front.

Battery

Lenovo has been continuously cutting down on the battery after releasing the Lenovo ZUK Z1 with a 4000mAh battery. The ZUK Z2 was released with a 3500mAh battery whereas the new ZUK Edge features a 3100mAh battery. Cutting down on the batteries don’t make sense as ZUK Z1 was well received due to its long-lasting battery life. But interestingly, it comes with Quick Charge 3.0 that helps you get rid of trouble charging up the phone at a moment’s notice.

Availability and Price

Though ZUK is a subsidiary of Lenovo which operates offices in China only. And the launch of its new ZUK Edge is quite limited to the Asian countries. It doesn’t mean that they didn’t launch it on the rest of the world. The ZUK has been launched in Australia gladly and Lenovo ZUK Edge Mobile Phones prices in Australia are relatively less as compared to the other smartphone devices having the same specification. The Lenovo ZUK Edge is priced $350 in Australia.

Hardware

In terms of hardware, ZUK Edge again entrusts its processor in the silicon Qualcomm just to give a better life to his last smartphone. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 821 chip (Quad-Core at 2.35GHz) which is accompanied by the Adreno 530 GPU.  Moreover, the phone comes in two variants in terms of RAM – 4GB and 6GB. But 64GB of onboard memory is one of the major drawbacks as it is not possible to expand the capacity using a removable microSD card.
