Lenovo had an event where its first triple
camera phone, Lenovo Z5s, was introduced. Rumors suggested it will have “more
than 8 GB RAM”, but apparently the company had a bigger surprise. It is called
Lenovo Z5 Pro GT and is the first smartphone with Snapdragon 855 chipset and 12
GB RAM.
Since the phone is all about speed, it has racing
vibes in the design as well. The back panel is glass with a pattern imitating
carbon, while red accents were added to the rim of the top side, the main
camera sensors, and the bottom half of the slider.
Other specs of the phone remain unchanged from the
vanilla Lenovo Z5 Pro - 6.4” Super AMOLED display with a fingerprint scanner
underneath, sliding mechanism, hiding the 16 MP + 8 MP dual selfie camera
setup, while the main shooters are 16 MP primary lens and 24 MP secondary
sensor.
There are three variants with three price tags -
6/128 GB for CNY 2,698 (US$ 390/€ 340), 8/256 GB for CNY 3,398 or US$ 500/€ 440, and the
most powerful one with 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage costs CNY4,398 or about US$ 650/€ 560. Pre-order begins on January 15, while official market launch is
scheduled for January 24.
