Lenovo Z5 Pro

The Lenovo Z5 Pro is a mid-range smartphone with a manual slider selfie camera on the back. It is a premium smartphone with flagship features and comes with the latest trending features, which includes a slider mechanism design, 95.06 % screen-to-body ratio, an in-display fingerprint sensor scanner and many others. The Lenovo Z5 Pro is one of the cheapest sliding smartphones out there. Lenovo not only understands the interest, but is also looking for budget market share. The smartphone measures 155.12 x 73.04 x 9.30 mm (height x width x thickness) and weighs 210.00 grams. It was launched in Ceramic Black color. The handset has an in-display fingerprint sensor and Face Unlock ID with an IR scanner. Equipped with a 6.39-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with 1,080 x 2,340 pixels resolution from Samsung which also features an on-screen fingerprint scanner, the Z5 Pro is running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor alongside 6 GB of RAM and a dedicated security chip from NXP. Its AI game acceleration mode can throttle CPU, GPU and memory performance while playing games on the device. According to Lenovo, the Z5 Pro offers a screen-to-body ratio of 95.06 percent and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The HDR 10 compliant AMOLED display is embedded with the fifth-generation photo-electric under-display fingerprint sensor. The display has the latest 19.5:9 aspects ratio. For the main camera, the phone uses a dual-camera setup with a 16 MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture and a secondary 24 MP sensor. It offers an AI Super Night Scene mode and AI Super Video Shooting. To take a selfie photo, users must slide the back part of the phone to reveal a 16 MP + 8 MP sensor and also an infrared sensor for face recognition system. The dual front camera comes with some additional features like HDR and FHD video capturing at 30 fps. The Lenovo smartphone is powered with a non-removable 3,350 mAh Li-Po battery, which luckily supports fast battery charging. Dolby Atmos is also supported through both speakers of the smartphone. The device is benefited with some connectivity option like Wi-Fi 802.11, Wi-Fi Direct, dual-band, hotspot, Bluetooth 5.0, A2DP, LE, EDR, A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, NFC, micro USB 2.0, a reversible Type-C 1.0 connector, USB-OT, but unluckily no 3.5 mm audio jack. The IntelliGo AI chip present on the device can significantly reduce noise during phone calls. As a conclusion, the Lenovo Z5 Pro offers a slider experience on a budget. It comes with a good camera and performance which is reasonable for the price tag. The Z5 Pro is suitable for users who like the new slider feature on a budget.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 509: Integrated graphics card in the Snapdragon 636 SoC based on the Adreno 500 architecture. Most likely featuring a slightly higher core clock compared to the Adreno 508.

Qualcomm Adreno 616: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 710) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. According to Qualcomm up to 30% faster than the previous generation (Adreno 512 in the Snapdragon 660). Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.

Qualcomm Adreno 618: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 730) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 640: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is intergrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 20% faster than the Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 845 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs).

78.81%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
