preface

The name ZUK is unfamiliar to many people, including me. Few people have heard of this product before, so that no one recognized it after finding many mobile phone stores. In fact, ZUK is a new brand under Lenovo's mobile phone, which is similar to Huawei's relationship with Glory. In this way, you may have a general understanding of the background of this product. Although Lenovo mobile phones have a high market share, there are only a few that can really leave a deep impression (the previous K900 was quite impressive). Lenovo has a large number of phones, but they are basically priced at 1000 yuan. There are no products that can be used in the high-end market. I think that the previous product design ideas are wrong, the appearance is not beautiful enough, and the functions are homogeneous. Obviously, Lenovo was aware of this problem, so it launched the ZUK Z1 to explore the market. What is the performance of this ZUK Z1? Maybe after reading my evaluation, you will have an answer in your mind.

Unpacking

ZUK Z1 (hereinafter referred to as Z1). The appearance design of ZUK is simple and slightly fresh. The white packaging box+pink waist seal are really different.

On the back of the waist seal is some equipment information of ZUK, of which the 64G+All Netcom logo of ZUK is very conspicuous.

After the waist seal is removed, the rest of the box looks like a "lunch box" in white. Don't underestimate the "lunch box", which is said to be made of bagasse, The packaging positioning is environmentally friendly, biodegradable.

When the package is opened, the host of Z1 is completely exposed. The overall white+metal frame design is of high grade. The front panel is designed in white with few openings I have a good initial impression of it.

Remove the mobile phone. Below is a booklet, which includes: card picking pin, instruction manual, warranty card, membership card.

The bottom layer is the charger and data cable of ZUK: it is also the white design of the cylinder, which is one of the highlights of ZUK.

Data line: adopt The Type-C interface+USB3.0 interface regardless of the pros and cons. The wire is made of anti winding noodles. The design of the data line of the ZUK Z1 is really at the forefront.

Charger: ZUK Z1 The output of the charger is 5V/2.5A, 0.5A more than the general 2A charger, which can save more charging time.

Check the whole machine:

The front of the whole machine adopts the design of extremely simple white+all metal frame, which gives people the feeling of small and fresh, and the grade is not low.

positive The integrated design above is worth mentioning. It ingeniously integrates the sensor and earpiece together, leaving a single 800W front camera on the right side, maintaining the overall aesthetic feeling.

The lower front side does not use Android's "Three Heavenly Kings" button, but instead uses a fingerprint identification HOME button, which can be operated in various ways.

The frame design adopts the aluminum magnesium alloy frame design. The CNC corners are filed smoothly without cutting hands. The frame workmanship is considered to be excellent.

Bottom: Left to right: Microphone, Type-C connector, speaker hole, and symmetrical plastic white strip help to improve the antenna signal quality.

The design of the top is also very simple. A 3.5MM headphone jack is left on the left, and the plastic white strips on the left and right sides, like the bottom, improve the antenna quality.

Side: The left side is the SIM card port, and the right side is the volume and switch button.

SIM card supports NANO small card. Two cards can be placed on the card holder for dual card and dual standby. Three networks are supported, but two cards cannot be telecom cards at the same time.

back

There is a 1300W pixel F2.2 aperture camera at the top, and LED flash light is below the camera. Because the lens is designed to be close to the top, the lens is slightly convex, and will be worn during long-term use.

The back shell of the whole machine is designed to be non detachable. It is made of smooth material with good gloss, but it is easy to stain fingerprints.

From the packaging to the design of the accessories inside, it shows a simple and elegant feeling.

About the screen, this time received The Z1 tested by Lei Feng.com has no light leakage problem, but the black edge is really wide, which should be improved in the next generation.

Measured experience:

to configure:

The configuration of the ZUK Z1, a 5-inch 1080P screen+Qualcomm 801 SOC+3GRAM+64G memory+4000 mA battery, is indeed a flagship configuration (please ignore the 810 screen with fever and 2K screen with large power consumption).

Video playback test:

Mainstream video and audio are supported, and some high bit rate files cannot be brought. 4K movies can be played with 4K soft solution.

photograph:

This photo contrasts with the iPhone 6. From the following figure, we can see that the picture of the Zuk Z1 is opaque, and the green bias is obvious.

Sample comparison:

Color adjustment is the freedom of each manufacturer, and also the feature of each manufacturer. The brightness of ZUK Z1 is high in the daytime, the color is slightly rich, and the white balance is accurate.

The following are the daytime shooting samples of ZUK Z1:

The UI interface is clean, and the icon style is a unified simple design; Slide up the bottom of the standby interface, and call out quickly Similar to the iPhone, but really convenient.

The security function provided by the system is very practical and efficient. It can record the running status of each program and automatically intercept the harassing spam messages.

The user system adopts the U-bean mode to increase user stickiness. The built-in cloud service is also very useful, and can automatically backup the cloud with wifi.

，，

The classification function of photo mode is simple and clear, and can also be sent to various social platforms by one button.

Deep function mining:

1. Eggplant replacement: a highly praised software with high usability. The measured Bluetooth connection is smooth, the WIFI is not connected, and the bug needs to be repaired.

2. Automatic classification of public SMS+telephone yellow pages: integrate resources and facilitate management.

3. Telephone intelligent recognition:

4. Small function, dial up to play the piano

Video measurement:

The charging time is about 2 hours.

4000 mA battery, 3 days for mild test, and about 2 days for severe test.

Summary:

advantage:

Fashionable design and excellent assembly process

All Netcom+64G standard configuration

Strong hardware configuration, 1799 high cost performance

The system is deeply optimized, featured and highly practical

Disadvantages:

From the perspective of 1799's positioning, the ZUK Z1 is a mobile phone product worth recommending below 2000, regardless of its appearance, strong hardware configuration and the inherent advantages of All Netcom. Although the screen and camera capabilities are average, it can't hide its high cost performance.
