  • Impressive.....

  • I had been experiencing similar problem. I would delete the particular contact and save it afresh. However, I no longer experience that problem. So please try deleting and re-saving the affected numbers in your phonebook. This problem is unique only to this phone! Cheers

  • how is the fone after update. is it Marshmallow ?

  • What do you mean by saying update came 6.0.1???

  • why not removabile batery?if I won to change?

  • It receives calls by itself when someone call me. Its major broblem because its enough to annoying someone. Please help ...

  • maybe you have classified those number as harassment call from your security app

  • My Vibe Z2 hangs up when it receives INCOMING calls from certain mobile phone numbers. Can someone pls advice me how I could solve this issue and also if other Vibe Z2 users have faced this similar problem . Thank you

  • Update came...

  • Hi.Urgently i need this phone motherboard.how can i get it?who can help me?

  • been using it for almost 8 months now. it is a good phone as camera and battery is exceptionally okay. but call connectivity is not good as this is the only problem i m facing since 8 month as signal often drop while you are calling or if signal are low.

  • Does anyone have problem with NFC, i have tried to connect with Samsung Galaxy S5 and Xperia E4g but it doesn't worked. Any help?

  • I have same problem of freezing. Each time i have to do factory reset and lose a lot of data over and over. Last time once i crossed into another country it simply froze instead of roaming. I am fed up and thiking of a different phone

  • Hey, how can I update to Lollipop?

  • Sim2 supports only 2G data

  • I have the same problem...nairobi

  • I can't use vedio call

  • Upgrade the system to lollipop, every thing will be fine.

  • Hi im using the Vibe z2 but apparently there are a lot of pink lines falling in the rear camera but the front camera is perfect,can someone advice what i need to do to resolve this issue,after i take the picture it still apprers with the pink lines infact alot...i would like to know if its the software or the camera is gone...ive reset the phone entirely but it still keeps persisting ...please advice

  • Have had a Z2 for three months. Had a good time but in third month so much trouble. it has frozen three times. and each time i had to take to a phone shop. Each time it simply failed to reboot when i turned it on. Does anyone know how to unfreeze it? or how to avoid freezing.

  • May be the phone that your talking about is just an immetation from from the original Lenovo

  • Easy, just go to settings - SIM Card management and check both SIM. Beare in mind that when in a call the other sim will be on wait.

  • Go to www.maslenovo.es. These gyus are experts, they sold me the same Lenovo and they also provide the technical support. The ROM is perfectly translated to english and other languages.

  • Hello, I can't activate dual standby function, please help

  • Appears to be an excellent phone, only limitation being the Chinese language in use which I am not conversant with. Selecting English does not help. Local agents-Avechi Kenya East Africa have no clue either. My suspicion is I bought this phone meant for Chinese market. Even contrary to posted specs, only line 1 has 4connectivity. Line 2 has only 2G. Now in the last days, opening Twitter or Facebook brings up a darkened screen so there is nothing to read or see. I will be happy if a competent Lenovo Technician would help sort me out. Otherwise as it is I do not recommend for sale to markets outside Chinese reading, speaking and writing regions.

  • Depends on your needs. Lenovo x2, better overall perfomance, better screen vs Lenovo z2, better quality materials, battery capacity, better camera and NFC capabilites, dual flash. In the end resumes on what you need. i must say it runs just fine and it´s not underpowered , of course it´s not the device you choose if you need good graphics for gaming. The z2 it´s a solid choice if you need like me a good camera that actualy has great results even in low light, and solid batery perfomance. It´s a handsome device with high quality materials. Still waitting the lolipop update though :( Does any can comment the experience with the update ?

  • Same problem what do I do if u found solution of this problem

  • My back camera not work when I start back camera one msg show your camera is not connect

  • This phone got the looks but not the performance. The looks can be deceiving but it's performance is far under the Vibe X2. This phone is also pricey, instead of getting this one, get the cheaper Vibe Shot and it's a lot better in performance and camera. However, the Vibe Shot screen is prone to Stuck / Dead pixel so I recommend you check the screen first before you purchase it.

It has Mic issues but not sure If I can return this phone or to fix it...

  • this is not dual sim phone, only dual sim stand by. so no worth of dual sim.

  • Bought the fone 2 days before for a gift. its a nice fone with good camera. Front facing camera is also very good. cant tell much about the battery as i didnt use it much but i hope 3000mah will give me a full day atleast.

  • can may i know Lenovo Vibe Z2 how is this ?????

  • what about battery?

  • I have the device, only one speaker. Can I ask if that phone can read OTG flash drive? Wanna buy an OTG Thanks in advance

  • hi Rayjack, Eofdred is correct it has only one speaker which is on left side, the one on right side is mic. if you want confirm that pls. read the manual of the mobile, it is avaialabe on GSMArena website. Thanks

  • Has 2 speakers and is the best phone for the price

  • Where did you see one speaker there are 2 down at the micro usb conector one on each side

  • it has only one speaker. the hole on the left is speaker

  • Anybody can plz tell, is this mobile has 2 speakers or 1, thanks

  • Ι bought this one and its ok.

  • I'm searching since 5 days, unfortunately seems that this phone is under his "big brother" (i.e. 6" Pro) shadow...

  • Is there any chance to find any gorilla glass protection for this model?

  • I have the Lenovo S856 and as much as I like using the device, the limited RAM was a problem, especially when trying to use live wallpaper or HD gaming. The Z2 interested me because it seems to be an almost similar phone but with 2gbs of RAM, so I went to look at one in the Lenovo shop here in the Philippines. On the plus side it feels a more premium device with the metal body but I couldn't justify the P6000 jump up in price. Apart from the extra RAM and higher megapixel camera, it's an almost identical spec to the S856. Why oh why couldn't Lenovo have upped the spec to that of the similarly priced X2? Not only that but you lose the SD card slot which just seems plain crazy. It's a nice device but it's so similar to the S856 it doesn't justify the extra cost. For P3000 less you can get the 5.5 inch Starmobile Knight X which spec wise knocks the Z2 out of the ballpark, so as nice as it is, I really can't recommend it at this price. Lenovo need to up their game or be swept aside by similarly priced competition.

  • Sim1: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 Sim2: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 yes dual sim, 2G,3G & 4G supported set

  • Super phone

  • Help please...i just bought the phone and everything works fine except my music... I transfered my mp3s from my old phone and the new one is not playing them...why???

  • can it use two 3g(wcdma + wcdma) networks? its dual sim phone.

  • How is the phone and performance? Its got option that direct video calling? How is the back and screen resolution? Please reply me.

  • Almost same specification-Samsung Galaxy A5. Just compare both and take decision.

  • I can not understand why they put a screen resolution and especially the density of pixels so weak ?! A Full HD screen and ~ 400 ppi was perfect phone for many people!

  • should be more slimmer and speed 2.5 Ghz card slot should available ...then it is worth look back vibeZ 2.2.Ghz ...we expect with card slot and higher speed internal RAM 3....

  • AVAILABILITY: It is available in Eastern Europe already including the new EU members like Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc. It is rumored to be available in the middle east in January. I have no information about India, as of yet. It will most likely not be available in western Europe and the United States, because Lenovo does not want to start a competition with Motorola, which it owns. It is a shame though, as this are clearly double sim-card phones, which Motorola does not offer. NETWORKS: Sim 1 - 4g, 3g, 2g, Sim 2 - 2g only.

  • Im yet another person wondering about availability. Its not even on their site etc (well i cant find it), cant find it for purchase anywhere online (let alone getting it into australia). The second question i would have is if this phone can do 3g + 3g. ie 3g on both sims at the same time as the 2g networks are winding back here and i need 3g on both sims for voice.

  • sexy phone

  • how much memory is available to store apps

  • Very good hand set but Memory card slot is not compatible

  • I've never seen such a bullet-proof handset in my life. It litreally fell from my hand on to the road, it stopped my heart for a sec but for a surprise NO scratches .I love this and will never regret buying it. Glad that i changed from ugly Samsung s4 to this ultimate phone.

  • Where is this phone available? I can't find it anywhere!!

  • go to the sms message list "left click" on the phone on the menu select then deactivate channel 50 / channel 60 enjoy.

  • Broadcast message in SIM 1 is a irritating thing. How do I get rid of it.

  • Xperia Z3 Dual Sim is probably the only one (if China Unicom got their FDD-LTE stuff up by now, otherwise I doubt there is any phone with both TD-LTE band 41 and the FDD 700/1700 bands). Also the specs here are for the indian or internationela version (if there are any), the real Chinese specs are: FDD(B1,B3,B7),TDD(B38,B39,B40,B41),WCDMA(B1,B2,B­5,B8),TD-SCDMA(B34,B39),GSM(B2,B3,B5,B8)

  • this phone having direct video call facility or third pary calling facility

  • your sim2 call will be rejected

  • Hi All, I am thinking to buy this phone and have couple of queris as I could not find a single detailed review of this Phone 1. What is the user available memory out of 32 Gb 2. How is the Camera Performance ? 3. How is the sound quality ? 4. Any heating issue ? 5. What is the battery Backup , for watching Video and surfing net on wifi and data Please help me with the above queries so that I could decide on my purchase

  • One important question for me plz..if i have acall on sim1 and i got another call on sim2..sim 1 will be not available or the call will be forward??(waiting call)

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not missing just one lte band for the US AT&T, 700 or 1700 I think? Trying to find a not too large dual band phone android that I can use in both in China Unicom and AT&T 4G lte networks. Any guidance would be much appreciated... I have the Huawei P7 from China Unicom which is also GREAT phone, but it doesn't pick up the 4G in the states.

  • Everything is ok on spec wise. Although 64 bit snapdragon 410 chip, it's only quad core 1.2Ghz. A bit under performance for 5.5" phone. Come on Lenovo, a little bit better than this.

  • it is a nice phone.is it going to be available in europe

  • why the cpu lower than vibe z?? it's mean vibe x2 is better than vibe z2? hmmm...

  • Now tag a flexible price!

  • Dual sim pentaband wcdma and quadband LTE. Plus a 720p 5.5 inch screen and 3000mah battery. Please forgive me Lenovo, that's a great phone. The 410 is perfect for the specs. Battery life and serious practicality. I'm buying to replace my K910 when the time comes.

  • no memory card slot means loser...

  • vibe z is more better that this vibe z2.

  • Snapdragon 410 has Cortex A53 cores, not Krait 400 cores.

  • This would look better if there would be a white color too(I mean all the phone to be white).
