The ZUK Z1 just went on sale via Amazon in Europe, but if you don’t want to pay EU prices for this Chinese phones, we might have a way out for you.
The ZUK Z1 is being offered for just $299.89 via a reseller in China (purchase link at the bottom). Of course, there might be import taxes, but if that’s still more affordable than the EU prices or not is for you to decide. That, is if you’re in Europe. The phone is yet to go on sale elsewhere.

Snapdragon 801, forget about it, why not Snapdragon 808, better newer GPU and less heating.
The 801 and 808 have about the same levels of heat. The GPU in the 808 is roughly 20% faster than the 801, unless you play the most demanding games you will never notice the difference. The 801 is still a great SoC and will handle 99% of what the playstore offers with no issues.
Why choosing this ugly phone over a xiaomi mi4c?
Don t understand how with no effort on design they still can make the headlines
64GB storage
fingerprint scanner
4100 mha battery
metal frame
gorilla glass
CyanogenMod
design is subjective so i won’t speak about it.
people that goes for the MI4C:
SoC
USB C
MIUI
Cheaper
in simply listing the reasons why someone would pick one or the other.
I’m not saying that the Zuk is a better buy, but it’s clear it has many attractive points.
I love the design of it personally plus I prefer a 5.5 inch phone. 64gb and huge battery is just icing on the cake. If I didn’t hate CM, I would be seriously interested.
Well I tried to buy this phone with no success, entered the code (got it from android headlines) in a -different- reseller’s shop, only to be told that it is not available but I can choose something else instead. To be fair the shop did refund my money without any arguments, so that was a good experience.
– A day after I go an invite from OP2 I have ordered that one…
(would have loved to buy it from Gizchina but no shipping to Oz……)
