ZUK Z1 Review

Specification:

Inside, the ZUK Z1 is running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset, along with 3GB of RAM. There’s also the 5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD display, 4100mAh non-removable battery inside, along with a 13MP camera on the back and a 8MP front-facing camera. The most surprising spec to me is the 64GB of internal storage. Something you usually don’t see on smartphones coming from China at this price-point. As mentioned earlier, the ZUK Z1 runs Cyanogen OS 12.1 which is based off of Android 5.1, but also ZUI which is also based off of Android 5.1. Throughout this review, we will be looking at ZUI, as Cyanogen OS 12.1 won’t be available for a few more weeks.

Other specs include USB Type-C which is USB 3.0, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS with A-GPS and GLONASS, and unfortunately there is no NFC here. Something that’s pretty common with handsets coming out of China lately.
