"Announcing the 'world's first crowd sourced product' launch where you take center stage to launch the #LenovoZ1"

Lenovo India has confirmed that its Z1 smartphone, under its online-only sub-brand, Zuk, will be launching on May 10. Lenovo India took to Facebook to announce the launch date for the new Z1 smartphone.

HIGHLIGHTS:->>

• The first smartphone from Lenovo's new online-only brand will be Z1.
• The Z1 will run Cyanogen OS 12.1, based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
• The Z1 supports Indian LTE Bands 3 (1800MHz) and 40 (2300MHz).

The company wrote, "Announcing the world's first crowd sourced product launch where you take center stage to launch the #LenovoZ1." 

Unlike the Chinese market where it is sold as the Zuk Z1, the smartphone in India will be dubbed "Lenovo Z1 - powered by Zuk." The biggest highlight of the Lenovo Z1 is that it runs Cyanogen OS 12.1 based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, which means that users will get many options to customise their phones.

Under the hood, the Z1 smartphone packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5GHz with integrated Adreno 330 graphics, coupled with 3GB of RAM. The Lenovo Z1 packs 64GB of inbuilt storage, but there's no option for storage expansion. Another notable feature of the Lenovo Z1 smartphone is that it packs large 4100mAh battery. The dual-SIM phone supports two Nano-SIM cards, both of which support 4G LTE connectivity and Indian LTE bands - FDD Band 3 (1800MHz) and TDD Band 40 (2300MHz).

The smartphone sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with a Sony IMX214 sensor and optical image stabilisation (OIS), a feature usually found only in high-end smartphones. There is also an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. The smartphone weighs 175 grams and measures 155.7x77.3x8.9mm.

Notably, Z1 embeds the fingerprint scanner on home button. Much like recently launched flagship smartphones, Lenovo's Zuk Z1 features the USB Type-C 3.0 port. Other connectivity options on the Zuk Z1 include Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, and Glonass. It features an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, digital compass (magnetometer), and proximity sensor.
