The smartphone is able to achieve these speeds thanks to the integrated Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem. We then find a 5G 4×4 MIMO antenna for a stable and smooth 5G network connection and a 360° anti-attenuation antenna, which enables users to receive stronger signals under different holding positions.
As far as other components are concerned, the Z6 Pro 5G is equipped with a 6.39-inch display with a resolution of 2340 × 1080 and a notch. We then find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 CPU and four rear cameras. These include a main 48MP camera, a 16MP ultra wide lens, an 8MP telephoto lens and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front we’ll instead have a 32MP selfie snapper.
Finally, Lenovo’s Z6 Pro 5G also adopts a 2.0 liquid cooling system to increase the heat dissipation area by 20%. Basically they throw more heat dissipating material at the problem (silicone sheet, copper tube, gel, graphite).
