If we want to comment on Lenovo, for 2018, Lenovo actually met its expectations.
It is true that Lenovo did not launch a flagship mobile phone last year, but every mobile phone was the key to Lenovo’s respite last year. Many things were forced to do in the current fierce competition in the mobile phone market.
So when Lenovo Z6 Pro came to our hands, we felt that Lenovo did make very detailed preparations this time. Snapdragon 855 processor, super video AI four-camera and super configuration with a maximum of 12+512GB, I believe it will have a better performance this time.
Appearance: the beauty of light and shadow interlacing
Lenovo Z6 Pro skillfully combines color, light and shadow with 3D four-curved body, showing the beauty of time and light and shadow. On the front of the fuselage, Lenovo Z6 Pro uses a 6.39-inch water drop full screen.
In terms of screen material, Samsung’s customized AMOLED screen is adopted, and the whole DC dimming design allows users to get a better screen look and feel experience, which is also more conducive to long-term viewing (PS. Although the screen is healthier, it is still necessary to pay attention to eye safety).
In addition to adjusting the screen material and screen dimming mode, Lenovo Z6 Pro adopts a new patented innovative framework design and nano-scale suspended glue spraying process to make the narrow screen frame design never become warped, which is really beautiful, easy to use and durable.
As a flagship product, Lenovo Z6 Pro is also equipped with the sixth-generation screen photoelectric fingerprint, which adopts triple lens, and the fingerprint input feature points are increased by 73%, which can be quickly unlocked no matter whether the hands are dry or wet.
At the same time, the position of the fingerprint is relatively centered, so that the finger can unlock the fingerprint very easily and naturally.
Red and black are not only synonymous with professionalism (Lenovo’s little black notebook, red dot on black background has become the office dream of many business people), but also synonymous with performance, enthusiasm and youthful atmosphere. Lenovo Z6 Pro applies the contrast of red and black to the extreme.
The back of Lenovo Z6 Pro uses a large area of black as the background color, supplemented by red streamer decoration, which makes people feel speed, passion and strength through color matching.
The seemingly simple contrast between red and black actually contains the countless efforts of Lenovo Z6 Pro designers: through the special 17-layer 3D streamer gradient coating process, the color is combined with light and shadow, and the 3D quadric body is added to skillfully show the beauty of time and light and shadow.
With the help of 3D quadric body and super-high screen ratio, Lenovo Z6 Pro gained a very good grip and further improved the user experience.
On the upper part of the red streamer pattern, there are four photos of Hyper Video solution of Lenovo Z6 Pro. The protrusions of the four cameras are very slight, and the whole is 3+1 "!" Appearance matching, stylish and concise without losing performance.
The lower part of the decorative pattern, Lenovo’s logo, red, black and white collocation makes people think of Xiaohe’s "ThinkPad”Logo.
In terms of other details of the fuselage, Lenovo Z6 Pro has also done a good job. The design language of the back of the fuselage continued to the frame, and the red power button and the black volume button echoed the overall language of the fuselage.
It is very commendable that Lenovo Z6 Pro still retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. With the increasing popularity of Bluetooth headset, the retention of 3.5mm headset interface is more like a respect for user needs and user selectivity.
On the bottom interface of the fuselage, in addition to USB Type-C and earpiece, Lenovo Z6 Pro adopts symmetrical and irregular speaker openings, and the speaker openings become smaller and smaller from the middle to both sides. In the process of gradual change from strip to circle, the design is dynamic.
Taking photos: HYPER VIDEO, refreshing the video experience.
Before the release of Lenovo Z6 Pro, Lenovo had already put forward HYPER VIDEO, the latest concept used in the era of 5G images. From a noun to reality, how did Lenovo Z6 Pro interpret HYPER VIDEO in practice?
To realize the image experience of the next generation, first of all, of course, we must have the corresponding hardware strength.
Lenovo Z6 Pro is equipped with a rear four-camera scheme, which consists of a 48-megapixel main camera, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle/macro lens, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens and a 2-megapixel night camera lens. The front is equipped with a 32-megapixel self-timer lens.
The highlight is that Lenovo Z6 Pro has added a 2-megapixel special night shot lens, equipped with OIS eight-axis optical image stabilization and 2.9μ M has a large unit pixel area, which can achieve higher light sensitivity at night, and has a dynamic range of 80dB. With TOF focusing, it can be said that it is an exclusive sensor built almost for night shooting.
Besides,Snapdragon 855 built-in Qualcomm Qualcomm Spectra 380 ISP integrates more powerful hardware accelerated computer vision (CV) capabilities, supports hardware acceleration of HEIF encoding format, and brings more efficient storage and smaller video content.
HYPER VIDEO is a complete set of image solutions that Lenovo applied to Lenovo Z6 Pro for the first time, including the integration of its hardware and software technologies. After understanding the hardware configuration, let’s take a look at the actual performance of Lenovo Z6 Pro.
First of all, I saw the performance of the daily shooting. With the blessing of the 48-megapixel main sensor, Lenovo Z6 Pro has satisfactory detail analysis ability and dynamic range. In scenes with extremely complex picture elements, the dark details can be fully restored, and buildings, people and billboards can be clearly displayed.
In the scene with complex light sources, Lenovo Z6 Pro’s powerful dynamic range capability can be fully demonstrated — — It not only retains the shadow details in the dark, but also has no highlight overflow in the light source part, and even retains the original texture of the lamp tube.
Macro, find another way to play the camera
Lenovo Z6 Pro’s 16-megapixel super wide-angle lens also supports macro shooting and 2.39 cm super macro. Through this lens, you can discover a completely different world.
Thanks to the macro lens, we can use Lenovo Z6 Pro to photograph many things that are invisible to the naked eye.
For example, pixels on the LCD screen.
For example, miniature words on paper money.
It can even be used to shoot a video of entering the micro world.
In front of the powerful macro lens of Lenovo Z6 Pro, every fiber and every drop of ink can truly be "completely present".
Night shooting, I can’t put it down.
Night is the home of Lenovo Z6 Pro. In addition to the solution of outsole main camera, Lenovo Z6 Pro presents another technical route of mobile phone night shooting with night shooting lens.
At the beginning of the lights, Lenovo Z6 Pro also has excellent dynamic range performance at night. The gorgeous lights and transparent night in the distance are undoubtedly displayed in front of the camera, which is quite eye-catching night proofs.
Different from the mainstream super night scene mode, Lenovo Z6 Pro night scene mode can get enough bright night proofs without long-term hand-holding, and the color details are restored to the level comparable to that of hand-held night scenes.
The super wide-angle night scene mode is also uncompromising, and the screen transparency and brightness can be comparable to the main night scene imaging.
Of course, the flagship mobile phone has basically solved the problem of taking pictures at night. However, in the video field, most mobile phones are "dead", equipped with OIS eight-axis optical image stabilization and 2.9μ M super large unit pixel area, Lenovo Z6 Pro makes night shooting video no longer a "pain point" to be solved.
In the scene with insufficient light or even dim light, Lenovo Z6 Pro’s 2.9μ M night camera sensor brings excellent image performance. When insufficient light is detected, Lenovo Z6 Pro will automatically switch to night shooting lens for shooting.
The 2-megapixel night camera sensor is enough to realize 1080P full HD image recording. With OIS eight-axis optical image stabilization +EIS electronic image stabilization, night shooting not only has enough brightness, but also has excellent picture stability. For users who need to shoot VLOG and professional video, shooting night scenes may not require professional camera equipment.
More surprises are that this night shot even supports slow motion shooting. In the past, slow-motion shooting required extremely high light, and even in the daytime, the brightness of the shot was much worse, but the appearance of Lenovo Z6 Pro rewritten this rule.
It can be seen that even if the slow-motion mode is used at night, the pictures taken by Lenovo Z6 Pro are still bright and clear enough, and the scenery at night matches the slow-motion and has a unique flavor.
Double shot, VLOG artifact
Rich playability and strong night shooting performance are enough to make Lenovo Z6 Pro a VLOG artifact. In the future, Lenovo Z6 Pro will also add dual-view VLOG function through OTA update, which supports the display of front and rear cameras in the same frame, and can output three formats of front-shot, back-shot and front-shot in the same frame. One device can solve three visions and provide more creative editing space for short videos and VLOGs.
Performance: True Blood Snapdragon 855
Undoubtedly, Lenovo Z6 Pro is also equipped with the standard processor of this year’s Android flagship — — Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, which also makes Lenovo the only mobile phone manufacturer with two flagships of Snapdragon 855 (the other is the Z5 Pro GT version of the first Snapdragon 855).
Snapdragon 855 adopts TSMC’s 7nm process technology, and adopts "1+3+4" architecture design based on ARM DynamIQ. One Kryo 485 Gold Prime core with a frequency of 2.84GHz and three Kryo 485 Gold cores with a frequency of 2.42GHz are responsible for high-load tasks. Compared with the "2+2" configuration, the "1+3" configuration will achieve better performance and efficiency.
GPU has always been the strength of Qualcomm’s flagship processor, and the newly upgraded Adreno 640 has improved its performance by 20% compared with the previous generation, and supports the Snapdragon Elite Gaming platform, bringing many new features such as true HDR, PBR, Vulkan 1.1, etc., which makes Lenovo Z6 Pro easy to control various popular mobile games.
Theoretically speaking, the Geekbench of Lenovo Z6 Pro scored 3,494 points for single core, 10,672 points for multi-core and 362,873 points for Ann Bunny, all of which played the normal level of Snapdragon 855.
We use the secret recipe of our ancestors to break the 40-frame limit of stimulating the battlefield, and turn on the HDR high-definition image quality and the extreme image quality. In the game of about 16 minutes, the frame rate of Lenovo Z6 Pro has remained stable at 60 frames, as a straight line (the last frame drop is the settlement interface).
Lenovo Z6 Pro is also equipped with a maximum of 12GB of running memory and 512G of storage space. It also uses PC-level liquid cooling to dissipate heat, combined with AI fever prediction management, which makes the mobile phone calm down while it is running at high frequency, with running all the way performance.
In addition, Lenovo Z6 Pro has a built-in large battery of 4000 mAh, which ensures strong battery life. At the same time, it is equipped with a 27W safe fast charging head, which is not hot while playing, and supports OTG reverse charging.
System: step by step, steady and rising.
Lenovo Z6 Pro is equipped with the latest ZUI 11 system (based on the latest Android 9.0), but from the system UI, Lenovo has entered a relatively mature stage, and there is no particularly big style difference with the previous generation ZUI 10 as a whole. If you are a user familiar with Lenovo mobile phones, I believe you can get started quickly.
As a unique feature, ZUI’s overall style is relatively fresh, revealing a sense of youth, which cannot be felt in many mobile phone UIs; Irregular icons make the whole system full of aura and very comfortable.
Although there is no great change in appearance, there are still many remarkable places in ZUI itself. ZUI has built-in intelligent aggregation negative screen function on the left side of the desktop, which can integrate the content you use every day, like your ticket information, today’s weather or the road conditions when you go home.
In other respects, ZUI of Lenovo Z6 Pro also has special laboratory functions, including a game mode that is very helpful to players, so that you can enjoy it more in the process of playing games.
The functions such as position crossing and small window video are very interesting; Of course, how can the audio-visual experience be without the addition of Dolby Panorama? Through Dolby’s advanced audio technology, you can feel richer and more multidimensional sound effects when watching videos, and the entertainment effect is first-class.
Conclusion: Lenovo still needs to work hard before it can usher in change.
It’s a long way from the last Lenovo mobile phone that we can be excited about. After many twists and turns, Lenovo mobile phone finally handed over a relatively excellent answer sheet with the Z6 Pro. Both the performance of the top Snapdragon 855 and the excellent HYPER VIDEO super video AI four-camera system are excellent experiences brought by this mobile phone.
Of course, the launch of an excellent product is not the end of Lenovo. It may be the next thing for Lenovo’s mobile phone to consider if it can go on and find its own way.
After all, looking at the whole mobile phone industry, many former established manufacturers have been photographed on the historical beach by the "waves after the Yangtze River".
