On Friday at Lenovo’s Innovation and
Technology Conference in Beijing, the company announced a new variant of the
Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G in a new dark blue model. The only differences over the 4G
model are the color and added support for 5G.
At the same time, an executive from Lenovo
– which primarily sells smartphones in China, announced via Weibo that it will
only make 5G smartphones for the Chinese market moving forward. Lenovo mobile phone in
China [is] all in 5G from today! We only do 5G mobile phones! With the arrival
of the 5G era, we are welcoming TA with more exciting products. (translated) –
Chen Jin, General manager for Lenovo Business.
The Z6 Pro 5G runs a Snapdragon 855 CPU
and offers a large 6.39-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display. There’s also a quad
camera with a main 48MP camera, a telephoto 8MP, an ultra-wide 16MP, and a 2MP
macro camera. There’s also a 4,000 mAh battery and 32MP front-facing camera.
The Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G is also the cheapest
smartphone with 5G support - it has a starting price of CNY 3299 (US$ 471) and it
comes with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and 5G connectivity. The news is still
fresh, so Lenovo has not yet offered availability information about the new
dark blue 5G model.
