Lenovo Z5 is a phone with no bezels, company says it is coming soon

A new Lenovo device was teased earlier this week and company’s VP Chang Cheng confirmed that the device in question will have the highest screen-to-body ratio ever. What was missing was the name of the phone and now the company has confirmed that it will be called as Lenovo Z5.

A new teaser posted on Weibo gives us a peek into the design of the phone. The phone in the teaser is sporting an all-screen frontal which supports the claim of Chang that Z5 will have the highest screen-to-body ratio ever. The phone seems nearly bezel-less with extremely thin ones running at the top and bottom. The antenna band on the left edge hints that phone will sport a metal unibody design or have a metal frame. The bottom edge of the phone bears a USB Type-C port.

The post has been shared with a hashtag reading ‘the new national flagship declaration on Weibo. The company claims that it has achieved four technological breakthroughs and 18 patented technologies through Lenovo Z5. This was achieved by reducing the space consumed by the antenna bands, camera, and size of bezels.

The way Lenovo seems to have positioned the Z5, it is clear that this is going to be a high-end phone. In other words, it means that the phone will come with the kind of components and parts that we see in devices like the Galaxy S9, OnePlus 6 and Mi Mix 2S. While Lenovo is not talking about the hardware inside the Z5, it is almost certain that the phone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which almost all high-end Android phones use. It is also likely to come with at least 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, dual-camera setup and and features like fingerprint scanner.

Chang in his previous post has said that Lenovo Z5 will offer a screen-to-body ratio of over 95 percent. The Z5 will be launched to take on the likes of Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 2S, Mi Mix and other phones with a comprehensive display.

There are speculations that company could launch the phone on June 14. The other-related rumours are that Z5 could come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, a technology that Vivo has already used but Samsung is still struggling with. Further, Lenovo Z5 is rumoured to come with a flip-up selfie camera and in-display earpiece. However, it won’t have any notch like many other phones launching today. So it would be interesting to see how Lenovo makes up the space for the front camera and earpiece without disturbing the screen expanse.

The announcement from Chang also confirms now Lenovo is in no plans to sell Motorola phone under ZUK branding anymore. The company tried selling ZUK phones in China recently but it did not receive a good response from the masses. The full-screen Lenovo Z5 will be launched under Lenovo brand.
