Lenovo Z5s - User Reviews

  • Can anyone confirm if this product has a Universal File Storage (UFS) memory? If yes, what version?

  • Does it support dual apps?

  • Please, I want to know how long the battery drain test is for standby on 2G, 3G, gaming time and call time too. Thanks

  • How about it's battery? any opinions?

  • I don't know which version I have, maybe the Chinese version because it updates with webp files featuring Asian(?) models. But when I received it from a friend, it had an Indian pay wallet app installed already. I'm in the U.S. and it so far hasn't been compatible enough to work with MetroPCS (my network) and Cricket wireless. I wouldn't read their SIM cards. I looked up the frequency online and it says it's not compatible with most U.S. networks at all. >.< I really want to keep this phone, but I don't know where else to ask about some sort of update so that I can use it. I can't find it listed even on Lenovo's website at all.

  • System update come regularly in this phone? Any one can ans me.

  • Yes it has little light

  • Yes it has.

  • Was about to buy the Z6 Lite but realised that it has no global version but "global" rom flashed over the China one.

  • How many MP has your front camera?

  • if you wanna bigger battery 4000 go for z6 youth, equal specs & equal price in aliexpress

  • Maybe it is because you are using fullscreen view. Try to set it to 4:3 aspect ratio to get you the full resolution of the camera.

  • I bought the phone, and have started setting it up. Saw many comments, the phone is fake, selfie camera is 4 mp, and so on. Most likely those users have been cheated by some fake product. This phone is just a visual treat, so beautiful and so comfortable to handle. The selfie camera is just one of the best - as far as my experience on older phones goes. I am in Australia, and bought the Global version from Aliexpress. Except the NFC feature, this phone gives such a pleasant experience to use.

  • I have this problem with frontal camera

  • The chinese version works perfectly fine in Sweden. Crazy how much phone you get for this amount of money!

  • it is mostly likely a fake, a clone one and next time you should check the phone properly

  • I have the chinese version lenovo z5s and I live in USA it works fine on my network it is not global but I use English language no problem even have google apps

  • yesss same with me

  • I bought a Lenovo Z5S. The fron camera only has 4MP! It should be 16MP. A very poor quality image in all cameras! Anyone knows this problems?

  • can you give me link gcam my friend?

  • yes, you can play fm radio

  • How good is the camera, battery life and overall performance...and also does it have notification led light....nd how many colors

  • no it does not support any kind of stabilization but we can use google camera app for it

  • Do you know when it will be available in India ?

  • Build quality is solid, but ZUI is pretty buggy.

  • Xiaomi has infrared. And is very comfortable for remote control of every home device. TV, air conditioners etc.

  • Hi, How is the build quality of lenovo? How about the software and bugs?

  • This phone was supposed to be called xiaomi note 7 pro in global version not lenovo Z5s only chinese version

  • Great. If it had NFC and AndroidOne.. Lenovo has bad sw and no updates. Why can't they never make it perfect?

  • aliexpress

  • Does it Support EiS / OiS ?

  • lenovo have very bad battery so dissapointed

  • No it doesn't. I bought this phone and returned it. Even if it has OIS, it wouldn't matter since it takes a long time to focus, and the camera app kept freezing up. Here are all 4 of its camera sensors: 1) Rear main: Omnivision OV16B10 2) OV8856 3) Samsung S5K5E9 4) Samsung S5K3P9

  • Yes

  • It has ois

  • Does it have fm radio?

  • Available in Indian market???

  • That's infrared blaster not the old infrared. It can turn the phone into a remote control and it's available in multiple huawei phones.

  • What? Infrared? Are you kidding us? Haha if you want a Phone that has Infrared, I recommend Nokia 6670. Lol

  • When will be released to philippines?

  • Hi Lenovo, able to tell is it coming to Singapore ?

  • Does it has global version?

  • Yes. It has led notification light

  • kryo 360 not kryo 260. because the it is using SD710.

  • are you sure its kryo 260? it should be kyro 360 based on sd 710

  • Looking forward to GSMARENA's review

  • No

  • No x3

  • Yes it does

  • battery?

  • Infrared?

  • Hello everybody, Does anybode know if it has non - chinese menus ? Or if they can be taken out ? Have in mind to use it in Greece / Italy

  • nfc? eis/ois? androidone?

  • Lenovo for china Motorola for ROW

  • Iam waiting for this mobile Global version When it launch globally Especially in Malaysia.

  • So what about camera quality? Day and Night shots.. can not find any info on net, every example, including official looks very mediocre..

  • Main camera sensor is Omnivision OV16B10, 1/2.76", 1.12um pixel size

  • Is there a Global version of this Phone??

  • what about camera sensor size ? i couldnt find anywhere about it

  • The titanium blue color is awesome

  • do have fm radio???????

  • Any one tall me when Launch Lenovo Z5s in India? When available Lenovo Z5s Specific Date in India?

  • Thanks for repay.

  • Partly true. My Lenovo z5 Pro came with google framework preinstalled. Stock rom, not a shop rom.

  • Chineese are not using nfc. Payments are done using QR code scanning.

  • Does it support slowmotion video recording 1080p @ 240 fps?

  • Chinese version usually comes with Chinese and English language only. It also comes with Chinese app framework, not Google framework (Gapps). Yes maybe u can download Gapps and install it but there will be problem (crash between Chinese and Google framework). The Chinese version also usually comes without LTE band support for European. CMIIW

  • Is it only available in chinese version

  • still no NFC

  • Then its llauched with only 3300 mAh and 6,3 inch screen thats bad. Like a big box of juice but filled only to half.

  • Copy of what? All the phones nowadays comes with pill shape cam. If u r talking about brand name placement, have a look at 2016's lenovo vibe shot.

  • Iam waiting for this mobile Global version When it launch globally Especially in india

  • Anyone knows if this phone has a led notification light?

  • It should be OK. But if it doesn't have bootloader unlocking I won't be buying this phone. I can't stand ZUI on my Lenovo ZUK Z2 and I always use custom ROMs.

  • Any good/bad news about bootloader?

  • One thing, What type of problem face when use Chinese version phone, I am Bangladesh that's why asking that type of question? I mean any type of problem for langues or others problem do by Chinese version phone? Please tall me.

  • Well.. It can be download right.. Its not that hard.. Just download from chinese 'playstore' in that phone..

  • china version not include any google apps preload (google banned in china). and global version come with all google apps preloaded

  • Can any one tall me Difference between Global version and Chinese version?

  • Huawei Honor View 20 is way better than A8s at the same price.

  • nice device, but i'll go for samsung galaxy A8s, Fm radio, Nfc and lot more!!

  • It's already launched in chaina...

  • I just hope this phone will have decent audio quality from the 3.5mm headphone jack. The audio from my Lenovo ZUK Z2 is terrible and I'm using a pair of studio monitor headphones. (Audio Technica ATH-M50)

  • what about camera sensor size ?

  • i think its not copy bro, its just mix all the smartphone, (like oppo f9, huawei, and the samsung a8s) maybe.

  • I think this phone is gorgeous , but i'm curious about the back panel, is it made of a glass and can support NFC or Wireless charge ? By the way i'm from indonesia Terimakasih

  • Can Lenovo make anything that isn't a down right copy of another brands phone? Looks nice but still who wants to buy a copy cat instead of the original? Especially if the copy isn't even as good.

  • the battery is too small should upgrade the battery to 5000mah and then launch it in India as Lenovo then it will kill all the phones that are in its competition.

  • Battery is too small for that big screen but its still a rumor many can change we will see.

  • Try looking on AliExpress, they're usually the cheapest.

  • I don't think it will be worth waiting unless you intend on keeping the phone for over 2 years. 5G currently expensive technology to implement and it will take a while to drop in price in smartphones... Also, in early-2019 most countries won't even have proper infrastructure to support 5G.

  • Good point, although I don't like MicroSD due to performance and security concerns. I saw a video on the Pandaily YouTube channel and the orange version doesn't look bad like it does in the promotional pictures. So I'll probably get that after all.

  • One question. Do we know whether this has eMMC or UFS storage? I assume it will be eMMC as this is a cheap device, but I hope we might be lucky and get UFS.

  • it will release at dec 24th

  • Hello... Can anyone tell me.. Where to get lenovo smartphone these day? The price and spec not that bad.. Preferred online shopping.. I search at Gearhart.. It's not that much option.. Anyway.. I'm from malaysia

  • This one has a memory card slot So you can go with 64GB version

  • Is it 15w charging or 18w?

  • If NFC and bootloader unlockable then Z5s would be a good phone.

  • Everything seems OK, for 220. But only 3,300mAh battery size, IPS Screen that has a cutout, but not AMOLED, and Telephoto instead of Ultra Wide Angle Lens? I don't use telephoto lens as I'm not a guy that takes zoomed pictures. I wold prefer an ultra wide angle lens more rather than a telephoto lens. Or just have the third camera do Ultra Wide Angle Lens... Oh wait, that's not possible as this is another midranger so no. The hate on Lenovo needs to stop. Yes they once lied, but it only happened once. Note 7 also exploded and people got over it, and now no - one can get over this. Come on... For 220 with SD 710,this is totally worth it aside from these stuff, but that's pretty much personal decision I stated out there, you may not have such view over it.

  • I think lenovo is making comeback and i really want to buy this smartphone but i will wait for the budget 5g phone because 5g makes a lot different

  • Yeah, looking good, price even better, only thing that worries me is battery, and my bad experience with Lenovo- tab s8, especially un battery segment, and overall updates...

  • Seems great phone, surely not a Xiaomi Mi8 killer. Anyone knows if it has NFC?

  • i can sense some huawei p20 pro rear design going on. lolols...

  • Great specs for the money, I'll be getting one for sure. These days it's hard to find a non-AMOLED phone with decent specs that doesn't have a massive notch. My only slight disappointment is that the 128GB version is only available in the orange colour. The purple looks soooo much better!

  • they used to making good phone, but now not anymore.

  • Wasn't this supposed to have a holed camera instead of the notch?

  • I bet. It has a chin bezel.

  • How does they say that this phone is a quadra kill to miui and triple kill to mi8 while mi8 have sd845 containing amoled diaplay a bit larger battery and liquid cooler system and and it's no.8 as best phone performance in antutu benchmark.how even they are comparing a budget phone with a high end one!

  • The third camera maybe 5Mp

  • Dude your hating on Lenovo too much, they make good phones

  • Another bamboozle from lienovo. they will never launch this phone, they made this only for popularity.

  • 18/12

  • Battery is a let down... Only 3120mAh, kidding?...

  • still no launch update!!!???

  • Bad Camera . Octa-Core 1.8 Ghz low .

  • If sd 636 is powering this device then it has to be a budget device

  • if this informations be correct &#1548; the battery capacity ( 3210 mah ) is very poor for 6.3" ips lcd display !!!

  • I know Lenovo does it's thing, and I want to dedicate this comment to an upcoming smartphone. Samsung... They make fun of the notch for being an irregularity and that is an intrusion. How is a hole any better? I know, it's not as bad as a notch, but... Come on Samsung, you don't have to be so hypocritical.

  • birth mark of Lenovo Z5s, black mole on head

  • Fck sdn 636 14nm....
