Last week, Lenovo released the Lenovo Z5 and many people were disappointed that the smartphone was over-hyped because what was released is a bit different from what was widely advertised by the company. But make no mistake about it, this smartphone offers good value for money. With a 2.5D Corning Gorilla glass protected 6.2-inch Full-HD+ display and a 19:9 aspect ratio, the company says this device is 40% less prone to scratches. Powered by a Snapdragon 636 chip 6GB of RAM, this smartphone is a bit cool for its 1299 Yuan ($203) starting price tag.
Today, Lenovo Z5 went on its first sale and it had over 340,000 appointments which saw this smartphone selling out in about two minutes.
