After the Z6 Pro, Lenovo surprised the public once again with a new value for money phone carrying an amazing price tag and impressive specifications. Currently, Lenovo is not among the top-selling smartphones manufacturers, but we believe that people should trust this device due to its very high potentialities and it should become a best-seller, at least judging from the specs sheet. That is why we think it is worth comparing it with two of the latest mid-rangers from the most important Chinese smartphone manufacturers in the world: Xiaomi and Huawei. So we compared the Lenovo Z6 with Xiaomi Mi 9T and Honor 20 Lite: here is what we think about them.

Lenovo Z6 vs Xiaomi Mi 9T vs Huawei Honor 20 Lite

Design

Xiaomi Mi 9T undoubtedly comes with the most impressive form factor. Thanks to the motorized pop-up camera, its screen-to-body ratio gets very close to 100 percent without a notch. The phone features both a glass back and an aluminum frame, so you can count on a premium design from all angles. While Xiaomi Mi 9T is my favorite one, I also like the Honor 20 Lite due to its reflective glass back and its most compact size. The phone is shorter and thinner thanks to its smaller display and a smaller battery.

Display

If we consider all the midrange smartphones launched in 2019, Lenovo Z6 looks like the one with the best display quality. It is currently the only mid-rangers to support a high 120 Hz refresh ratio, and it is even HDR10-compliant (it even comes with high DCI-P3 coverage), so it boasts an amazing color reproduction. And thanks to the Super AMOLED technology, colors are very brilliant and blacks are deep. Right after, there is the Xiaomi Mi 9T which still comes with an HDR-compliant AMOLED display, but it does not have a high refresh ratio, unlike its rivals. Honor 20 Lite has a classic Full HD+ IPS display, so nothing special.

Specs & Software

The most impressive chipset is on board of the Lenovo Z6 and the Xiaomi Mi 9T. They are both powered by the new Snapdragon 730 by Qualcomm: there is currently no better midrange chipset released by Qualcomm. Lenovo Z6 is the winner of the hardware comparison as it is the only with up to 8 GB of RAM and, unlike the Mi 9T, it features a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. All the handsets come with Android 9 Pie out of the box and a highly customized user interface.

Camera

If we talk about rear cameras, Xiaomi Mi 9T is the best camera phone thanks to its amazing 48 MP main sensor which captures a lot of light and detail thanks to its high resolution, bright focal aperture, and more. It even sports an amazing 13 MP ultrawide sensor and 2x optical zoom. But when it comes to selfies, Honor 20 Lite looks a lot better thanks to its 32 MP front camera.

Battery

Honor 20 Lite has a much smaller 3400 mAh, so it loses the battery life comparison in every usage pattern. The real fight will be between Lenovo Z6 and Xiaomi Mi 9T: both feature an impressive battery life, but we can not tell you which one lasts more until we personally tested Lenovo Z6 (it was announced just a few days ago). Note that Xiaomi Mi 9T has a faster charging technology.

Price

Lenovo Z6 starts from just €250/$280, Xiaomi Mi 9T costs €300/$336 in its base variant, and Honor 20 Lite starts from €280/$314. Overall, I would personally prefer Lenovo Z6 for its amazing display, micro SD slot up to 1 TB, and up to 8 GB of RAM. But if you want the best design and camera, go for the Xiaomi Mi 9T without thinking twice. We believe Honor 20 Lite does not stand a chance against these two rivals.

In just a week, three of the most important smartphone manufacturers announced three amazing upper-midrange devices which have all the specifications necessary to become best-sellers. We are talking about the Xiaomi Mi CC9 from the brand new CC line-up, the Lenovo Z6 which boasts the best display in the whole midrange segment, and the Vivo Z1 Pro with a huge battery and a punch-hole design. All of them come with impressive hardware departments and prices, but which is the best choice for this second half of 2019 for everyone who does not have a high budget? This comparison will clear your ideas and establish a winner among these three potential best-sellers.

Xiaomi Mi CC9 vs Lenovo Z6 vs Vivo Z1 Pro

Design

None of these devices jokes when it comes to beauty and builds quality. Xiaomi Mi CC9 looks like the most impressive one because it comes with premium materials as well as an impressive design. Its back cover is made of glass and it shows different light effects depending on the reflection, while the frame is made of aluminum. The main advantage of the Lenovo Z6 is its very high screen-to-body ratio: it is almost a full-screen phone except for the waterdrop notch and a very thin lower bezel. Vivo Z1 Pro is another device with an amazing design thanks to its punch-hole display, but my favorite one is the Xiaomi Mi CC9 due to its suggestive glass back. Which one do you prefer?

Display

As mentioned above, Lenovo Z6 has the best display you can expect on a midrange phone to date. It is the only mid-ranger coming with a smooth 120 Hz refresh ratio, it boasts the HDR10 technology for an amazing color reproduction as well as DCI-P3 coverage. And it is even a Super AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint reader. The second place goes to the Xiaomi Mi CC9, but on the paper, the color reproduction seems less impressive and it has also a lower refresh ratio. Vivo Z1 Pro has a classic IPS display just like every phone sporting a punch-hole panel, except some devices by Samsung.

Specs & Software

As it features the fastest SoC (Snapdragon 730 by Qualcomm), Lenovo Z6 should be the fastest and smoothest device. It even has a variant with 8 GB of RAM, unlike Xiaomi Mi CC9 and Vivo Z1 Pro (to be accurate, the Meitu Custom Edition of the CC9 has 8 GB of RAM). Further, Lenovo Z6 allows expanding the internal storage up to 1 TB with a micro SD. Right after, there is Vivo Z1 Pro equipped with a Snapdragon 712 that is an upgrade of the Snapdragon 710 found on the Xiaomi Mi CC9.

Camera

The most amazing cameras belong to the Xiaomi Mi CC9. It is the only to sport a main sensor with a 48 MP resolution, so at least basing on the specs on the paper, it should be able to shoot way better photos. The sensor is paired with an ultrawide lens and a depth sensor, and it even supports super slow motion videos at 960 fps. The front camera is as amazing as the rear camera with its 32 MP resolution and Meitu’s advanced selfie algorithm. Lenovo Z6’s main sensor is just a 24 MP sensor, but the phone features 2x optical zoom, unlike its rivals. So it still deserves some respect.

Battery

Vivo Z1 Pro wins the battery life comparison due to its bigger lithium unit: a mammoth 5000 mAh battery which can also be used as a power bank thanks to reverse charging.

After officially leaking the entire specifications of the Lenovo Z6 smartphone for a month, the company has officially launched it discreetly today. The Lenovo Z6 comes with a tall aspect ratio display and a powerful 8nm chipset. It also features a large-sized battery, impressive triple rear cameras and it comes with an attractive starting price of 1,899 Yuan (~$276).

Lenovo Z6 Specifications and Features

The Lenovo Z6 measures 157 x 74.5 x 7.97 and weighs 159 grams. The smartphone features a 3D glass rear and series-6000 aluminum frame. Like the Snapdragon 855 powered Lenovo Z6 Pro that was announced earlier this year, the newly unveiled Lenovo Z6 has a 6.39-inch OLED display with waterdrop notch with 1080 x 2340 pixels full HD+ resolution and support for 600nits brightness. It delivers a tall aspect ratio of 19.5:9 and screen space of 93.1 percent. The display comes with support HDR10+, DCI-P3 color gamut and 120Hz sampling rate. The screen of the Lenovo Z6 is embedded with 6^th generation in-display fingerprint sensor.

The Snapdragon 730 which is currently the next best SoC after the Snapdragon 855 fuels the Lenovo Z6. The smartphone features 6 GB / 8 GB of RAM and 64 GB / 128 GB of built-in storage. A dedicated slot for expanding the storage of the phone through a microSD card is available on the smartphone.

The upper-left corner of the Lenovo Z6’s glass rear is flanked with a vertical triple camera unit and an LED flash. It features a Sony IMX576 24-megapixel main sensor with f/1.8 aperture and 1.8micron pixel size, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and 8x hybrid zoom and a 5-megapixel lens for adding depth effects. The front notch is the home for the phone’s 16-megapixel selfie snapper.

The Android 9 Pie OS on the Lenovo Z6 is skinned with ZUI11. The 4,000mAh battery of the smartphone supports 15W charging through USB-C. The large battery promises around 26 hours of talk time, 395 hours of standby time, 7.6 hours of online gaming and 26 hours of continuous video playback. The other features of the Lenovo Z6 are Dolby Atmos, dual SIM, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0 and 3.5mm headphone slot.

Lenovo Z6 Price and Availability

Here are the different variants of the Lenovo Z6 with their pricing:

• 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage – 1,899 Yuan (~$276)
• 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage – 2,099 Yuan (~$305)
• 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage – 2,499 Yuan (~$363)

As it can be seen the Lenovo Z6 is slotted between the Lenovo Z6 Pro’s lowest variant that costs 2,899 Yuan (~$422) and Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition’s highest model that is priced at 1,699 Yuan (~$247). The Lenovo Z6 is now up for reservations in China. It will be available for buying from 10:00 AM on July 9. The handset comes in a single color edition of blue.

The Lenovo Z6 is scheduled to launch on July 4 in China. It is smartly positioned between the flagship Lenovo Z6 Pro, which is powered by a Snapdragon 855 chipset and the more affordable Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition that comes with a Snapdragon 710 SoC. Chang Cheng, Vice President of the Lenovo Group, announced the launch of the Z6 along with its entire technical specification, leaving little to the imagination, barely 48 hours before the official launch.

Based on what can be observed from the post, the Z6 resembles the Z6 Youth Edition in many ways. Starting from the waterdrop notch up front to the triple camera setup at the rear. However, unlike the Youth Edition, the Z6 has an in-display fingerprint sensor. Like the Z6 Youth Edition, the Z6’s roll cage is made out of a magnesium alloy, which Lenovo also uses on their ThinkPad Notebooks.

Lenovo Z6 Specifications and Features

According to the poster that was shared by Cheng on Weibo, the Lenovo Z6 features a 6.39-inch OLED display covering 93.1 percent of the smartphone’s body. This is possible thanks to the extremely thin bezels and the waterdrop-style notch. Lenovo uses an HDR10 certified display with full coverage of the DCI-P3 and the sRGB color schemes. Lenovo has also provided a sampling rate of 120Hz on the screen, which should help reduce in-game latency. The Lenovo Z6 also features the De-Mura screen coloring technology, along with Gorilla Glass certification for guaranteed safety.

The Z6 is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset, based on the 8nm process with the Kryo 470 core that can run as high as 2.2GHz, along with the Adreno 618 GPU and 8GB of RAM. The device features 128GB of built-in storage and is expandable up to 512GB with a microSD card.

The smartphone runs on the ZUI 11 OS and features a Game Turbo mode, which should help keep the frame rates high. The Lenovo Z6 draws power from a 4,000 mAh battery that supports 15W Quick Charge 3.0.

The device features a 24-megapixel Sony IMX576 sensor with an aperture rating of f/1.8, along with an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and 8x hybrid zoom, and a 5-megapixel wide-angle sensor. The 4-in-1 pixel-binning on the primary camera is expected to help with low-light imaging.

Although, details regarding the Z6’s pricing is currently unavailable, the device will be placed between the flagship Z6 Pro, which is priced at 2,899 Yuan (~$422) and the more affordable Z6 Youth Edition priced at 1,699 Yuan (~$247). The handset may come in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants and these models could be priced between 1,999 Yuan (~$290) and 2,499 Yuan (~$363).

The rear shell of the Lenovo Z6 is curved towards the edges. The mid-frame with its G2+ curvature increases the elegance of the device. In addition, the Z6 smartphone has nano-coating made possible through ICM process. The company has employed 10 layers of NCVM vacuum nano-coating, and each layer has been treated with vacuum purification. This allows the Lenovo Z6 to sport a 3D effect on its rear.

Lenovo has already launched two Z-series smartphones this year. The Lenovo Z6 Pro came with Snapdragon 855 chipset onboard whereas the budget-friendly Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition features the Snapdragon 710. Now the company is prepping up to launch the Lenovo Z6 smartphone. Earlier this month, Lenovo Group VP Chang Cheng had shared teaser images of the Lenovo Z6 phone. Today, he has shared an image that reveals some of the key features of the phone.

The first thing that can be confirmed through the image is that the Lenovo L78121 model number that has been spotted on the database on China’s 3C and TENAA as well as on Geekbench belongs to the Lenovo Z6 smartphone. Without revealing the exact name of the processor, the image reveals that the phone is powered by “God U” processor. Probably, it could be hinting that the Lenovo Z6 is fueled by a powerful processor.

The Geekbench listing of the Lenovo Z6 that had appeared earlier this week did not carry the name of its chipset. However, the benchmarking scores and base frequency recorded by the processor suggested that the Lenovo Z6 could be powered by the Snapdragon 730. The only other phones that feature the SD730 chip include Xiaomi Mi 9T (aka Redmi K20 in China) and Samsung Galaxy A80.

The post Lenovo Z6 coming with powerful SoC, Sony AI triple camera and large-sized battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Lenovo Group VP Chang Cheng had shared some images of the upcoming Lenovo Z6 smartphone. It is speculated that the Lenovo L78121 phone that was approved in May with 18W fast charging could be the Lenovo Z6 smartphone. The smartphone has appeared on TENAA, but the specifications and images are still not available yet. Today, the Lenovo L78121 has appeared on Geekbench to confirm some of its key specs.

The Geekbench listing of the Lenovo L78121 has revealed that it will come preloaded with Android 9 Pie OS. The smartphone is powered by an octa-core processor that clocks at 1.8 GHz. The SoC is supported by 8 GB of RAM. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the Lenovo L78121 has respectively scored 2556 and 6763 points.

The Lenovo Z6 will be positioned between the Lenovo Z6 Pro flagship phone that is powered by Snapdragon 855 mobile platform and Lenovo Z6 Youth Edition that is driven by the Snapdragon 710 chipset. Hence, there is a possibility that a processor that is more powerful than the SD710 may fuel the Lenovo Z6. Rumors have it that the Lenovo Z6 could be featuring the 8nm Snapdragon 730 chipset. It is the very same SoC that powers the Samsung Galaxy A80 and Xiaomi Mi 9T smartphones.
