This year, Lenovo's Miracle Factory launched a new mobile phone brand - Zuk, born for heavy users of mobile phones. A few days ago, Miracle Factory launched the first mobile phone of the Zuk brand, Zuk Z1. This time, the author experienced this new product. Here, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Lei Feng's trial platform and the official first trial opportunity of Miracle Factory.

Appearance

▲ The front of the outer packing box of the ZUK Z1 mobile phone is printed with three letters of ZUK to spell out the smiling face of the robot cat, highlighting that the target audience of the product is young people, very cute

▲ Detailed parameters of the product are printed on the back of the packaging box

▲ The front of Z1 is equipped with a 5.5 inch full HD IPS screen with a resolution of 1920 * 1080

▲ The middle frame of the mobile phone is made of aviation aluminum, and the edges are polished with metal. The metal texture is very strong. The four corners are rounded, with a feeling of hardness in softness. The white bars in the upper and lower frames are antennas, and the plastic material is used here to prevent the signal from being shielded.

▲ Above are handset, hidden sensor and 8 megapixel front camera, with aperture of F2.2, supporting beauty

▲ Jobs said: The perfect mobile phone has only one button. There is only one entity key U-Touch below Z1, which supports fingerprint identification. Tap it to return, click it to return to the home page, double-click it to switch programs, and slide it left and right to switch applications. It is also the first time for Zuk to integrate so many functions.

▲ The top of the phone is equipped with a 3.5mm standard headphone jack

▲ The bottom of Z1 is equipped with USB 3.0 Type-C, which has faster charging speed and file transfer speed, and no need to distinguish the interface. It can be plugged in anyway, making it easier to use. At present, the latest Type-C interface has not been used for mobile phones on the market, so Z1 can only use the attached data cable, and cannot accommodate other general Android mobile phone data cables. However, Type-C interface is the future development direction, It is expected to be popularized soon. The Type-C interface is equipped with a Makfon and speakers. The sound of the phone will not be affected when the phone is placed flat on the desktop. In rare cases, holding the phone tightly while playing games may block the speakers, slightly affecting the sound.

▲ On the right side of the phone are the increase/decrease keys and power keys of the integrated speaker.

▲ There is a nano sim card slot on the left side of the fuselage. Z1 supports dual cards, dual standby and 4G Mobile Unicom All Netcom. Two sim card slots are set in one card slot to reduce the impact on the appearance of the phone

▲ The back shell of the mobile phone is made of pure white plastic, but it is not low-end. Due to the high-density multi-layer film covering process, it is round and very beautiful, similar to the highlight effect of piano paint, but it is not easy to leave fingerprints, has a certain radian, just fits the hand, and feels delicate

▲ The upper part is equipped with a 13 million pixel rear camera based on Sony IMX214 sensor and dual color temperature fill light, which supports OIS optical anti shake, and the aperture is F2.2 large aperture

▲ Below is the ZUK silver logo, which is also very simple and low-key

▲ List of accessories, including charger, Type C data cable, card taking pin, quick use guide, product warranty card and game V coin worth 240 yuan. The charger output of Z1 is 5.3V/2.5A, and the battery capacity of Z1 has reached an amazing 4100mAh. It is necessary for such a high capacity battery to support rapid charging technology, and it supports automatic battery power cut after full charge. Instead, the charger directly supplies power to the mobile phone to extend the battery life

Performance

▲ ZUK Z1 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM and 64GB storage. The GPU is Adreno 330. Although Snapdragon 801 is not the latest processor this year, its performance as the flagship of the previous generation cannot be underestimated.

▲ Due to the excellent system optimization of ZUK Z1, the test score of Z1 rabbit has exceeded 47000 points, far exceeding the model equipped with Snapdragon 801 processor, and even approaching the level of Snapdragon 810 processor

▲ Master Lu's performance evaluation score also exceeded 47000 points. It seems that the optimization of the ZUK Z1 system is indeed in place

▲ The total score of BaseMark OS II exceeded 1300 points

▲ Scores in quadrant test far exceed other models

▲ The 3D test of Anthare has exceeded 6000 points, and most large-scale 3D games can run smoothly

▲ Z1 hardware supports OpenGL ES3.0, so a new test "Sling Shot" based on OpenGL ES3.0 is used in 3DMark. This test puts great pressure on hardware and tests the GPU performance of mobile phones. Z1 also scored 1200 points

▲ NenaMark2 reaches 60 full frames

▲ Compared with the current surplus of mobile phone hardware performance, the system experience is the king. Master Lu's experience score of Z1 has reached an astonishing 96 points, and the system runs very smoothly

▲ In view of the powerful performance of Z1, the popular NBA2K15 and real car racing 3 were selected as the test games. Both games belong to large-scale 3D games and can run normally. The test results show that Snapdragon CPU games have good compatibility and most common games can run smoothly. Thanks to the huge 3GB memory, multiple large 3D game phones still don't work, and switching is fast

System

ZUK Z1 is equipped with the deep customized ZUI system based on Android 5.1.1. The system design is simple, the content is pure, and there are not too many built-in applications. Most of the built-in applications allow users to uninstall without root. The experience is very fast and smooth. More importantly, at the Z1 launch conference, Chang always promised that Z1 would get permanent system update services

▲ The default theme of the system is dark blue, and no other theme is provided at present. It is estimated that it will be gradually enriched in the future. The icons will be flat. Whether the system lock screen interface is also simple, and only one landscape can be unlocked by sliding from bottom to top

▲ The U-Touch button function is the first of its kind in ZUK. Since many users may not be familiar with how to use it, the ZUI system provides very user-friendly dynamic teaching

▲ The upper notification bar is only for notification and has no switch. The switch panel is located at the bottom of the screen and can be called out by sliding from bottom to top

▲ Before using the fingerprint, you need to set the pattern or password to unlock, so as not to unlock the phone in case of fingerprint identification problems. ZUI supports adding multiple fingerprints, and can name and manage fingerprints by itself, which is very convenient.

▲ To add a fingerprint, you need to repeatedly place your finger on the U-Touch button. The fingerprint recognition rate is high and the recognition is fast

▲ The dial keypad supports one hand operation, T9 fast search for numbers, and has built-in commonly used telephone yellow pages

▲ File management provides direct access to files classified by image, audio, video and other file types, and provides garbage cleaning function

▲ The built-in security center can view the system memory occupation, storage occupation and self starting program, but at present, you cannot directly delete garbage, clean memory and other operations in the APP

▲ The system update supports OTA online automatic update, and provides access to Recovery. It is recommended to add the card flash rom function later

Photograph

▲ The camera provided by the ZUI system does not provide too many settings at present, and a small number of settings are integrated in the system setting menu. The camera provides the HDR function, which allows you to focus by pressing the picture briefly, and exposure compensation can be set by sliding the ruler nearby, which is very convenient. Long press the focus to lock the auto focus and exposure, and the imaging speed of the picture is very fast

▲ Accurate color restoration of photos, rich details such as reflection and texture

▲ Thanks to the large aperture of F2.2, the background can be blurred during macro shooting to highlight the main body of the picture

▲ The noise is not obvious in the night shot, and the control is good

summary

Unlike other mobile phones that are born for fever and pursue extreme performance, the ZUK Z1 has taken its own path and is really putting the user experience first. The first U-Touch is quite practical and convenient. The super large capacity battery and good heat dissipation control provide great convenience for heavy users of mobile phones. The price of 1799 yuan is not high compared with other flagship models, but the practical design is worth choosing. At present, some functions of ZUI have not been completely improved, but the fresh, simple, pure and smooth style is impressive. It is expected that the subsequent system updates will make Z1 more powerful.
