Do you remember the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (K920)? Although it was released quite a while ago, it still packs some quite impressive specs. However, the first thing about this phone is its gorgeous all-metal industrial design.

The device comes in silver, gold and black colour options. Personally, I think that the gold colour looks amazing (or I may be influenced by that gold devices mania…).

The back of the device features a somewhat brushed metal finish. Also, there is a little area of glass, where a bit bulky 16MP camera (Samsung ISOCELL sensor) with OIS, 4k recording and dual LED flash sits.

On the front you can find an super large 6 inch display with 2K resolution (1440 x 2560 pixels and 490 ppi pixel density). Lenovo has done a great job keeping the phone size by cutting down the bezels.

That translates to the 78.3% screen-to-body ratio. Also, there is a 5MP front facing snapper, earpiece on the top. On the bottom you can find the familiar capacitive buttons.

But we wouldn’t buy a device just by it’s great design, build quality and 2K display. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro runs one of the best Snapdragon chips of all time – 801 clocked at 2.5 GHz and accompanied by the Adreno 330 GPU. It may not be the newest chip on the block, but it still handles all the games without any hitch. So why bother with newer Snapdragon chip and possibly have overheating issues?

Also, there is a beefy 3GB of RAM for multitasking and 32GB for storing your stuff (however, there is no MicroSD card slot!!! Why, Lenovo? This could have made this device perfect at the time of the release!). Also, there is a dual SIM card support, global 4G and other usual connectivity options. All of this tech is powered by the 4000 mAh battery, which is sealed-in.
