During the launch we didn’t get a good look at the ZUK Z2 Pro, but here are some really nice images of the new 6GB RAM flagship phone.
The ZUK Z2 Pro was announced today in China at a price of 2699 Yuan which is around $417. For that price the phone offers a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 6GB RAM, 128GB memory, 13 mega-pixel F1.8 rear camera with OIS and PDAF, fingerprint scanner, 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display, 3100mAh battery and a new body with 3D glass rear panel.

ZUK will offer the Z2 Pro in white with a gold frame, or black with black CNC metal frame. The Black version of the phone certainly get’s my vote and looks stunning with it’s dual glass panels and metal frame design.
What do you think of the new ZUK Z2 Pro?

White version looks so much better than the Mi5, the black borders on Mi5 ruins its looks.
Looks great, specs awesome but the size…
now while the price is obv. a bit higher
atleast with the zuk z1 the price i was paying in europe was mostly exactly the same as the announced price if i wanted to get one..and thats a good thing..
so there MAYBE wont be huge reseller margins on top of the announced price.
OMG OMG OMG my next purschase
Will it feature Cyanogen OS 13?
Great specs, reasonable price! Can’t complain!
Spec wise this is a madness, they just shut down xiaomi and meizu hard. I really hope this doesnt ship with cyaongen though. After using it for a very long time on my one plus one, depsite its features I have come to the conclusion it is a very bland OS, also buggyer than you would think and the camera software is weak.
Whatever software it ships with, will it get updates for the next 2 to 3 years ? I know the Mi5 and Mi5 Pro will get MIUI updates for 2 to 3 years. Balco will testify to that.
lol, yeah you will get some pointless weekly updates that usually ad more bugs and achieve very little. Then if you are very lucky you will get one actual android version update if any at all. Then more pointless weekly updates.
So if the software is pointless, then there is no point buying this Z2 Pro ?
That’s his sad attempt to talk bad about MIUI.
I found this article quite refreshing:

When did i mention the Z2? I was talking about MIUI’s weekly updates which are a joke. Xiaomi are also particularly bad at doing proper android version updates, as I say you will not get more than one in a devices life time if you get one at all. They frequently introduce new bugs with weekly updates it is well known to anyone who used MIUI for any length of time knows, for some reason @balcobomber25:disqus is just completely in denial about these facts. Spend some time on the MIUI forums and you will see.
I dunno about that but how good is their own flavored OS zui or something
Oh wow! This is it! My next phone! Hopefully IMX377 13mp sensor with OIS! Great Zuk!
It’s a Samsung ISOCELL with OIS.
Too small. Why not offer different size option?? What RAM is it? DDR4L 1866? or some junk?
It’s actually perfecr
A lot of companies are going to 5.2 this year. I think it’s because it’s the perfect blend between those who want 5 and 5.5. Not too big and not too small.
I only owned 5.5 and 5,95 (Nexus 6) inch phones.
But I tried a 5,0 phone from a relative. I like the bigger phones.
Though the Galaxy S7 non-edge which I tried in a retail store (Mediamarkt) with its 5,1 inch screen wasn’t too bad.
The feel in hand of a 5,5 inch phone also varies with its screen/body ratio. The Zuk Z1 was a bad example, the LG G3 a better one.
Well I think that is the case for Samsung and LG yes, but for Zuk they’re probably just following the market. Samsung at least offer bigger sizes. LG need to.
Samsung has done that size for awhile. The Galaxy S4 was 5, and then the S5 was 5.1.
True dat. I’m glad HTC have increased in size too. I would love a refreshed HTC One Max with 820 4GB/64GB.
Yeah woooahh everything is OK for me. Size is for me the better specs are top notch and price is OK. My next phone.
ROFL
Laughing at the best phone launch yet?
Those specs are actually quite very okay tho don’t mind but the price is a bit high when you think about it I just hope they plan on including Software updates
I never thought I would say this that fast but from the looks of it I think I can finally say that this is damn near perfect at this time. Now lets hope the software is good to then we have a super killer here 😀
Exactly the software better be on par with the specs
We needs details on its UI, its longevity with updates and potential for custom rom development ?
AnTuTu PLEASE! (v5 and v6). PLEASE ANDI 😀
MI5 Killer. Waiting for Oneplus 3 now.
The black version looks awesome.
I like them both and I usually don’t like white phones.
@Andi
I have to ask again:
WHY do you have to post you images in VGA-resolution? They are so tiny.
Mi4 design not impressive
Much better than the Mi5 design and no hideous black borders around the display.
well it looked a lot like the mi4 here but it looks a lot better in real life , the mi5 also looks pretty good in black though Letv is the true let down
It actually looks pretty decent. Humble and elegant, although I’m not a fan of the shiny, glassy backs.

I got used to 5.5, I don’t have big hands and I can manage easily with one hand my redmi note 3 pro.

Perfect phone for Balcobomber25? What’s your thought?
Warning, spoiler alert;)
Yup
This just moved to the top of my list. Right now my list is:
1. Zuk Z2
2a. Meizu Pro 6
2b. Gionee S8
Top 2 I agree. Im not a huge cyanogen OS fan though, they cant optimise cameras very well and the OS is bland and buggier than you’d expect.
Oh i don’t like it either. I would have MIUI on this if I got it.
Lol, it’s also now on my list: LTE band 20 is a big plus!
YO IS THIS FO REAL?? im skeptical not saying zuk is bad but this stabilization looks too good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7IzloNbV4g
Lenovo usually does an excellent job with camera’s so I would believe it. And having used the 6s the OIS is better than that but not by much.
Looks like the used wheels or something else..
I KNEW IT ! Pro 6 WAS a good phone … just a bit flamboyant but a good one nonetheless !
I am just waiting to see how the camera/battery is with the Pro 6. Those will be my deciding factors. I love everything else about it.
LOL Balco. You are hilarious. 2a and 2b. Are you sure if 2a would be Meizu Pro 6 and not Gionee S8? 🙂 🙂 🙂
I loved your comment mate. Made my day!
2a and 2b are tied.
No black border!
Thought antutu scores meant ‘nothing’ to you?
It gives a rough estimate. He is joking
It doesn’t give a shit. It’s most unconsistant so called “benchmark”.
Sarcasm means plenty.
aha !
The first thing that came in my mind when I saw the white model…
144 k in Antutu :p
BUT wth , i thought u disregarded Antutu readings … or is that sarcasm i see ?
Sarcasm lol. Making fun of someone in particular in this thread.
hehe

But I will only buy this if it gets over 120,000 in Antutu!!

Hmm…Good looking I’d say.
And I’ll have to agree with Balco about the “thank god no black borders” topic, the one thing that really killed the Mi5 for me.
to bad about the battery
to bad about the battery
Phone is too small.
Wish they had stuck with the 4000mAh battery, but it’s still pretty solid.
