Lenovo Z6 Youth - User Reviews

  • The specification are incorrect. The phone DOES NOT have NFC

  • Download nacho notch app, if hide notch option is not available in the settings menu. I use it on Moto one power and it works.

  • 4k/1080/720p video is available, 720/1080p in slow motion

  • Battery is stunningly good, 10h 57min screen on time for me, ZUI 11.0.117 ST (Indian Global ROM)

  • Yeah, it has gyroscope sensore

  • It doesn't have that option, maybe it will be available after Android 10 update (i think there should be update from android 9 to 10 in few months)

  • 0.7 sar

  • does it support 4k recording and slowmotin with 720p

  • I installed SafetyNet test apk from Magazin play on Lenovo z6 lite and does not pass the test. Does your phone pass the test?

  • Problem with the battery When I leave the phone in the pocket or when going to sleep the battery drops by a large percentage, although I stop the full service Is there a solution?

  • It's have a gyroscope??

  • Does this phone have the ability to hide notch?

  • What is the SAR value

  • Hope GSMARENA will run a review on this one.

  • This phone still have gps and connectivity issues?

  • Phone is great and easily the best value on the market ... but ... ... Vodafone mobile data doesnt seem to be working for me with this phone ...

  • Battery is actually great, but screen on time isn't 12 hours, it is arround 7h 30 min - 9h. Also i am not heavy gamer user, i just have couple of games like Clash of Clans. I mostly use youtube and Google Camera

  • Wide is actually main camera. It doesn't have ultra wide, like flagships smartphones have. There are 3 cameras on Lenovo z6 lite (youth): Main + telephoto + 2x optical zoom

  • does it really has a wide angle camera ???

  • Lenovo also says that the K10 Note could receive one Android update over the course of its lifecycle.

  • 11.0.0.49 at and I found camera app excelant (apetter camera ) paid version but I want to ask what is accessory can fit it cover and screen protector

  • Which "new" global ROM? What is the version you're using?

  • Lenovo z6 lite

  • It's releasing in India on 5th that should help with the official ROM problem

  • I recieved my z6 lite with zui 11.0.014 rom, GPS doesn't work at all and cant even get LTE 4g on At&T in DFW area..Hopefully an "official" rom will come out that is easily flashible. This sucks, why didn't Lenovo just release phone with REAL global rom first?? Should have bought a different phone

  • with gcam not bad :)

  • Please add time lapse video possibility, and add 60fps video Full HD / HD. 30 fps is just not good enough. Also fix buggy user interface (UI) for stock camera. 2x mode zooming just lasts too long to apply. Need to mention that performance is just unreal, very very fast, battery is really good, about 8-12 screen on time.

  • Also, they neee software update to increase maximum level of brightness, i am sure that display with HDR10 support can be more brighter, and it definitely should be. Hope there will be global official ROM available soon. Great product overall!

  • I use this mobile now global rom there is no problem with it gbs work data work network good wifi good mobile is fast but camera is bad I want camerA application

  • I doubt.

  • Czech Republic, and yes gps is working with no problems.

  • Which country are you from? And is the GPS working fully?

  • I resolved the no cellular data problem. I had to manually create an new API in network settings. If you have the same problem, just search for an API setting of your carrier and rewrite it there. Cellular signal is still low, however receives calls ok. After installing gcam instead of the trash stock camera app it is a phone I am happy with and can recommend!

  • the global ROM is not official , you can flash to Chinese ROM or wait until September 5 because the phone will launch in India in that date and i think we can finally have the official global ROM.

  • is this z6 lite? or an entirely diff phone?

  • I have low reception and no cellular internet. I checked and my country uses all bands supported. I tried everything! Going as far as restoring factory settings and going to testing mode to choose bands. I don't know what to do. GPS works with no problems. I guess it's a software problem, very disappointed that there are no updates. Running global ROM.

  • It does have option double tap to wake, very responsive. Fingerprint is really fast, if you turn on screen first and then place finger on sensor, but if you directly put finger on sensor it is not too fast, but still very responsive and without mistake. Also face unlock is brilliantly fast. Only problem is notifications problem, and i hope they will fix it soon. Navigation gestures is great with new update, just like MUI.

  • any one can tell me if it have double tap to torn on/off?

  • I saw in a russian forum there's unofficial havoc os support and various aosp gsi for the z6 youth. Hopefully it gets lineageos support too.

  • lenovo trust me

  • Will this phone get android 10?

  • But, with a GPS problem

  • It is much better that redmi note 7.... For first snapdragon 710 tells everything, but there is 3 camera, and a lot of mor advantages so don't even thing for sure Lenovo....

  • Great phone and very nice looking. 226 euros here in slovakia for 4/64 and 6/128 cost 296 euros

  • Please help me buy between xiaomi note 7-lenovo z5s-lenovo z6 lite - Which one?

  • It's a marketing gimmick.. Didn't u learn in business school?

  • maybe the rom is tampered, use the china rom instead for better

  • the 3rd camera 5 mp is not wide also, its no use some user said it was use for depth sensor. its not usefull.

  • Why is it called as Lenovo note 10 after flashing into global rom ?

  • Yes I want to find some cases too

  • does supports only z6 lite NFC ?

  • Also read the comments for G-Cam settings. Those were my comments and now everything is runnimg fine, camera is already great despite Lenovo's shit app, but Gcam brings it to a whole nother level.

  • I am using Z6 Lite now since three weeks. Redmi note 7 is better because of smooth UI. Z6 UI is not that smooth as of RN7.. Also Camera of Z6 Lite lags.

  • GPS. verry bad

  • Has anyone received any OTA updates with the global tom, also please advise on the battery life. Thanks

  • Some older devices are getting Los 16, there's still hope for the Z6 lineup.

  • I've got one and it's not much bright in full sun but for this price is ok.

  • it seems some of these "global roms" are 75-90% translations. I have seen polish version and it looked half-baked and like from google translate. the rom had google play preinstalled.

  • how many nits is the maximum brightness? i wish gsmarena would include that info... important if you always use it outside.

  • some compatible case tip with it, maybe another handset of different brand use same case model

  • So it looks like it indeed DOES have a gyroscope. Can someone please confirm that this gyroscope works in VR videos and games ?

  • Yeah..rear camera is just slightly better on the note 7 but z6lite has better selfie

  • and NO nfc

  • My experience with the Z6 youth (global rom): positive: Support Aptx hd; relatively fast phone (developer options animations 0,5x); Good budget gaming device; HDR10, great for watching videos; Clean Android interface Neutral: battery, With medium to heavy usage It must be charged at the end of the day! Bad: The camera UI, simple it's thrash! If someone got a gcam apk, pls share it with me. Fingerprint with financial apps like paypal! There's some weird bug that prevents using the fingerprint. Screen brightness: It just isn't bright enough. I'm always nearly at max brightness.

  • Is the global version available?

  • Did you really read my comments ? I didnt clear or because u cant acept the fact ?

  • Lenovo when it comes to specs that snapdragon 710 clearly wins against snapdragon 660/670

  • Just like Ace, i will choose Z6 youth/lite. It has better CPU. BUT i think the RN7 shoots better.

  • Yes

  • Lenovo Z6 Lite and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ?

  • Pls between the RN7 and Lenovo Z6 lite which should I get? Pls I need professional advice thanks....

  • Does the lenovo Z6 lite have the face recognition or unlock function ?

  • Dude just say u love the redmi note 7 more than the z6 lite....z6 lite has better processor..10nm processor which equals better battery life..no ads on zui...has better selfie camera...has better screen..has Dolby Atmos sound and her 10 and you say redmi note 7 is better?..

  • As the same price, we can get RMN 7 3gb ram 32gb rom or Z6 Y 4gb ram 64gb rom. Defenitely Z6 Y, better almost ways

  • i dont play PUBG, sr mate

  • i am using Z6 Youth and i sure with you Z6 Y camera is not good like RNM 7. I dont read topics to concluded, i experienced both Z6 Youth and RNM 7.

  • model also known as: Z6 Youth edition, Z6 lite, Z6 SE, k10 note. please add.

  • Works great on pubg

  • Lenovo z6 youth Vs redmi note 7.... Z6 youth is better!!!!

  • No it's not!..The camera is Good so stop saying sh"t! -Camera review of the z6 youth -Full review of the z6 youth

  • Those of you who have this phone, can you confirm if it is real global ROM or China ROM flashed with "international" ROM? Can it be OTA updated is usually a good sign if it is a real or fake ROM. Also, state where you buy it.

  • Does it work on pubg mobile

  • Had the phone for a day now, I have no idea what the hell people are saying about the camera. Its more than fine for the price, this is an excellent value for money offering.

  • Does this have a gyroscope and will the internet work in USA

  • Best Snapdragon 710 phone out there with low price. 4GB+64GB version.

  • Any sites of Gcam for Z6 lite

  • Yes, worse.

  • Yes, Z6 Y camera is 5/10

  • As the same price, RMN 7 just has better camera, everything else cant compare with Z6 Youth. 710

  • Z6 Youth has Gyroscope. I'm using Z6 Youth

  • Is it possible, to charge the smartphone via nfc?

  • Have the phone and the Z5. The z6 download speeds are horrible, about 20%of what the Z5 does.

  • Doesn't this screenshot say it has a gyroscope ? (from

  • you must trust this site Z5S before months ago release & have it just look at to the specs of this phone in this site but z6 youth or lite doesnt have it must be diffrence btw z5s & z6 lite gyroscope & another without gyroscope 4000 & another 3300 i also check best website showing the specs of phones with little details i check many of phones in past & present & they were correct about all of them they didnt menthion it does gyro so if important for you.... you must go to another phone maybe MOTO P30 NOTE or RN7 both have close price than z6 youth

  • You say it doesn't, most websites say it doesn't, but someone else earlier said it does, and on another website someone took a screenshot of an app showing sensors and a gyroscope appears... I wish I could know for sure before I buy.

  • absolutely z6 lite , better performance , better camera z6 is better in every aspects

  • this phone doesn't support gyroscope & im 100% sure about that & for people who play viral games its problem even lenvo k9 note doesn't support it but if you like the specs of this phone & want gyroscope too you must go for lenovo Z5S...everything is equal but z5s have 3300mah battery + gyroscope z6 youth 4000mah + no gyroscope idont know why they should do this, but even a 93$ phone like umidigi a5 pro have gyroscope

  • this phone doesn't support gyroscope & im 100% sure about that & for example for those people who play viral games its problem even lenvo k9 note doesn't support it but if you like the specs of this phone & want gyroscope too you must go for lenovo Z5S...everything is equal but z5s have 3300mah battery + gyroscope z6 youth 4000mah battery + no gyroscope p.s...idont know why they should do this, but even a 93$ phone like umidigi a5 pro have gyroscope

  • So, which do u suggest I get bw RN7 and Z6 lite as value for money?

  • Really photos are terrible? Maybe with gcam are better.

  • this phone or ? both of them almost have same price 6/64 of moto p30 note 4/64 of lenovo z6 youth

  • I also wanted to know...

  • Cause we don’t have enough money lmao. Don’t you think about why manufacturers produce mid-range phones, cheap phones or flagship killer phones ? Why people don’t buy Mercedes Benz or BMW cars instead of Toyota or Ford cars. Have you ever thought about these?

  • Is this Corning Gorilla Glass? Its not specified :/

  • can anybody confirm if this is gorilla glass 5?

  • Guys? what do you expect for a budget phone like this? ur expectations are too much for a cheap phone like this. Why don't u buy samsungs10 or Iphone X,XR,XS .?

  • How terrible ? Much worse than other ~$150-$200 smartphones (RealMe 3 Pro, Meizu x8, Xiaomi Note 7) ?

  • You want some sample photos? The camera of z6 youth is terrible

  • Does Chinese ROM receive OTA updates ?

  • Now, it just has Chinese rom. With me, plastic is ok, but somepeople consider it's a weak spot.

  • so you use chinese rom thats why you just have two language must have global rom the back from plastic its so much better than breaky back glass of Rn7 & Rn7 pro

  • I just bouth Z6 Youth. +Pros: -Great performance with great price, temp is good when play games. -Good display, defenitely better Redmi Note 7/7 Pro. I used RMN 7. -ZUI looks not better than MIUI but enough features, include Navigation Gestures. -Great battery, much more RMN 7, i used Nokia 8.1 and Z6 Youth just like i expected. +Weaks: -Normal camera, not equal RMN 7. -Plastic back. -Only Chinese and English now. (not my concern)

  • Lenovo z6 youth or Xiaomi redmi note 7?

  • realme x lite(realme 3 pro) 4/64 190$ lenovo z6 lite(youth) 4/64 150$ & realme recently add 240fps slow-mo with new update

  • Yeah. I was confused about this too earlier, but I can now confirm it has a gyroscope sensor

  • Guys I've ordered lenovo z6 youth but I'm not familiar with its software and I noticed some reviews saying that the noise reduction is set too high and the third party camera settings could'nt fix it so probably it will affect its low light performance

  • Some websites say it has gyroscope, some say it doesn't... Can anybody (who owns one) please confirm ? It's important for VR games.

  • It is a shame that slow-motion is only 120fps max, while RealMe and Oppo competitors have 240fps slow-motion, using the same SOC and camera sensor. Does anybody know if maybe by using another camera app you can 'unlock' 240fps slow-motion on it ?

  • when it will b launched at india?

  • this is for china lenovo k10 note rebranded of z6 youth its for outside of china with GLOBAL PACK & original global rom

  • Does anyone knows if the "global ROM" sold on Gearbest or Geekbuying the real global ROM or a vender flashed one? On Aliexpress, many sellers state that their phones are CN phones which they opened and flashed with another ROM.

  • Mi 9 se is better

  • Lenovo z6 youth or xiaomi mi 9 se?

  • Yeah you can , it has the minimum specs to run it (4gb ram)

  • I want to try lenovo. With this one. Everything is fine with me, as per specs sheet. I just dunno about its camera and UI.

  • So I was looking for a phone to buy. And this seem like the best budget phone to get if you want to buy right now. Or you can choose to wait for Snapdragon 730 phone like Lenovo Z6 or Redmi K20 which hopefully going to have good value for the price like this one. But for now this is definitely the best bang for buck.

  • no NFC

  • does it really have NFC

  • Can you play fortnite with it? I'm planning to gift it

  • How much screen on time

  • Waiting for it to release. Best phone you can find in this budget line Snapdragon 710 + 4gb Ram + HDR10 display + Dolby Atmos. Was going to buy k8 note. But, This siriously caught my eye. I don't have anything bad to say for it

  • you can't able to unlock none of them go for REALME 3 PRO

  • Lenovo z6 youth or Vivo z5x

  • camera is only normal and 2x tele NO WIDE !!!!! There is Gyro sensor. spec should be update.

  • I wouldn't buy any phone with under 3500 mAh battery these days, preferably not less than 4000.

  • What type of speaker does it use? Is it like the stereo speakers of Lenovo K5 pro? I really love stereo speakers.

  • I thought it was gonna be Lenovo Z6 Lite

  • No. The youth terminology has nothing to do with age. It's simply saying it's a cheaper, less powerful version of the pro. With a maximum clockspeed of 2.2ghz, the Snapdragon 710 us no slouch. It seems like a crazy good deal. Large, good quality screen, triple camera, Dolby Atmos sound, hdr10 picture support, SD slot, dual sim, unlocked, very large capacity 4050mah battery. Can't see anything negative about the phone. Was thinking of upgrading from the pocophone F1 to the Z6 pro from Lenovo but this looks great and I can keep the pocophone F1 too.

  • this phone currently sell with global rom but soon will release with new name lenovo k10 note with GLOBAL PACK no just global rom also couple month ago this phone release with other name lenovo Z5S with 3300mah you can find review in youtube, new name z6 youth & k10 note have more battery 4050

  • Sounds like a good enough budget phone but why call it 'youth'?? - should be attractive to any age. I find it condescending to label phones 'youth', not that I am a youth myself.

  • now its 175$ no phone you can find with 4050 + sd710 + global rom + 4/64 + triple cam + sd card + usb type c + sd card just for 175$ also the price will cut down more..just watch..bc in the beginning they say 4/64 will come for 156$ the back body also from alminium not from glass to break with first fall on the ground

  • Please illuminate us with a smartphone with better specifications for 160 euros.

  • here we have Z5S with 4000mah both of them have same price

  • first they must brings a way to unlock bootloader & twrp img for the phone unofficial, just like K5 PRO currently the price of 4+64 global its 178$ z6 youth

  • If LineageOS would officially support this phone, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

  • the body from glass?! if it from glass even with corning gorilla glass 6 or 5 will damage with fall down aluminium or metal its so much better just like K5 PRO & K9 NOTE

  • wish soon will release unlock bootloader & twrp for it just like K5 PRO

  • wow !!! beautiful model n spec..in level price the other smartphone..want buy after this..👌

  • After making their phones Lenovo forgets about them. This phone will be a new addition to that list.

  • No gyroscope & This phone should be don't have a notch

  • On China only and two months after be released. The price will be marked up by seller 1-2 months usually.

  • already loving it cause of the green color lol

  • what? just around 160 euro?

  • What?? No OTG????

  • Z6 Youth is better because it has NFC.

  • btw all lenovo devices you can find just for k5 pro a way to unlock bootloader & install twrp for it, other devices no way

  • Urgh none of these phones come to my country... We are stuck with stupid samsung and apple phones. They are only a few xiaomi seller also but with ridiculous prices. Samsung A50 and Redmi note 7 are about same price here. Urghhh.

  • And out of school, too! No international release though, i think..

  • Z6 Youth or Realme 3 Pro?

  • will this launch Globally ? i want to buy it in Pakistan !

  • Unlockable bootloader?

  • This is most likely aimed at really young kids, hence the youth part. The price is pretty nuts at 160EUR. The specs aren't terrible at all seeing as it still has a 16mp camera, large FHD+ screen and also 6gb ram with a 4050mah battery. This phone will be perfect for those in school.

  • Other than the better processor, this reminds me of the Galaxy, A series.

  • no 4k video?
