Lenovo could undertake other huge
tech network in covering to market a smartphone with over 95% screen to body
ratio -- and no notch -- as soon as June 5 with the Z5.
That needle few huge questions according
its design, like where the company will stick the front camera on the
all-screen phone.
Less edge, huge screen, quicker
performance, excellent camera setups, and so on: business smartphone
manufacturers are ascend over one another to be the first to offer the latest
technological latest, Lenovo included.
The Chinese smart manufacturer,
who may be better known for its laptops than its mobile handset, appears to be
gunning for the title of truly full-screen smartphone according to teasers from
Lenovo's VP Chang Cheng over the past few weeks.
GSM Arena has converted Cheng's
Weibo post as saying: “it is simpler to create a stunning screen than to try
and hide a secret in one corner of the panel." The site also noted that
some users of the Chinese social networks would be able to earn invitations for
the June Z5 launch.
Other latest news from Cheng's
Weibo account have teased a full-screen Z5, first it was the top niche, then a
full body sketch, followed by the bottom corner, each image boasting the
chin-less, bezel-less, notch-less screen.
But industry watchers seem
surprised that the brand displays to have a lead on bringing such a design to
market.
News of Vivo launching its
concept phone ‘Apex', a bezel-less competitor, on June 12, may have spurred
Lenovo to beat them to punch.
Cheng revealed the launch
poster on Weibo, picked up by Playful droid, confirming the date as June 5, at
2PM (presumably GMT+8) in Beijing.
As for the other specification
or feature, Cheng's teasers highlights that the Lenovo Z5 will available with a
humongous internal storage of 4TB, shaming much of the smartphone industry with
their 256GB or less options.
In a lot of ways, the Z5 sounds
too good to be true. Cheng has said the phone will bring with it four
technological breakthroughs. This all coming from a company that isn’t known
for innovating in the smartphone space. The good news is that we won’t have to
wait much longer to see if the Z5 is the real deal.
Playfuldroid also notes “it is
speculated that the Z5 will be driven by Snapdragon 845." The site
outlines that "Cheng has exactly claimed that the next segment is packed
with 4 technological breakthroughs and 18 patented technologies.”
Comparably, Apple's £999 iPhone
X has a screen-to-body ratio of 82.9 percent. That's the series at the top of
the handset, which in the case of the iPhone X, houses its TrueDepth a breeze
and smart sensors that enable face unlock.
And now there's just over a
week till Lenovo takes the coat off the final product.
It could tweak or tips from
Chinese rivals Xiaomi and Vivo and either run it into the bottom of the handset
(like the Xiaomi Mi Mix and Mi Mix 2) or go with a pop-up snapper like the one
on the Vivo Apex concept phone.
