Lenovo Z5
I'd skip itI'd give this a miss.
The marketing was misleading, but the phone itself is good value for just over $200.

What I liked
- Snapdragon 636 chip
- 6GB of RAM
- 16 megapixel dual cameras
- Large screen with high screen-to-body ratio
- Claimed 95% screen-to-body ratio would be huge
- Could be exciting if claims are close to true
What I didn't
- Deceptive marketing
- Teased features not on the phone
- Fake hype around screen ratio, storage and battery life
- Teaser images did not match the real design
- Has a notch and a chin
- Standard 3300mAh battery, nowhere near 45 days
In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“they created a whole load of fake hype to get people excited for it”
“the Lenovo Zed 5 is exciting I'm excited to see it but I would say it's best not to get too hopeful”
“I'd be willing to put money down that this is a stretch of the truth”
“don't get too excited”
Every time I covered it
Most recent first, so you can see if my view has changed.
