Lenovo has already launched a couple of smartphones in its Z series this year, which includes the flagship Lenovo Z6 Pro and the watered-down Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition. Now, the company is gearing up to launch the standard edition — Lenovo Z6.
Chang Cheng, Vice President of Lenovo Group, recently shared a teaser image on Weibo which revealed some of the key features of the upcoming Lenovo Z6 smartphone. It said that the phone will come powered by a powerful SoC and now the company has confirmed that the Lenovo Z6 will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 (SM7150-AA) is a new processor designed with a focus for mobile gaming. It is an 8nm octa-core chipset which features 2 + 6 core arrangement and comes with Kryo 470 CPUs clocked at 2.2GHz, coupled with Adreno 618 GPU. The company claims that the processor provides a 35 percent increase in performance compared to the previous generation.
It is also the first 7 series processors to feature the Hexagon Tensor Accelerator. There’s also Hexagon 688 DSP which works with the GPU and CPU to complete AI tasks faster and in more power-efficient ways. It features Snapdragon X15 LTE modem offering 800Mbps download speeds and also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+.
The company has already revealed that the phone will feature an AI-powered triple camera by Sony. The Chinese text for the display information mentioned on the image translates to “color laser screen.” Since the Lenovo Z6 Pro and Z6 Youth Edition are equipped with waterdrop-like notch display, the Lenovo Z6 could be also equipped with the same kind of display design, probably with a 6.3-inch display.
While the exact battery capacity of the smartphone is not yet known, it is speculated to be fuelled by a 4,000mAh battery. The teaser image states that the rechargeable battery of the phone can last for up to 2 days on a single charge. The 3C listing of the phone had previously revealed that it will carry support for 18W fast charging.
The Lenovo Z6 is expected to come in at least two color options — Brown and Blue. We expect to know more about the smartphone, including its full specifications in the coming weeks as the phone’s TENAA listing gets updated.
