Friends+Design
- Good build quality with a fibreglass frame to keep the weight down and a magnesium alloy roll cage for sturdiness
- Chic, premium design (similar to the iPhone 5S)
- Compact, convenient size with a 5-inch screen making it one of the few easy-to-handle premium smartphones in the market today - something that will appeal to a lot of people who want power and quality, but not large phablet-esque dimensions
- Manages to keep a relatively slim profile and manageable weight of 150g
- Fast, accurate fingerprint sensor (embedded in the home button) - significantly improved compared to the Zuk Z1
- As is the case with phones that have a glass back, it is a bit of a smudge magnet
Display
- Very good display - sharp, clean and bright, with colours that are fairly accurate and natural-looking
- Display customization options includes colour temperature, as well as a night mode
Software
- Extended home button functionality is very nicely implemented, and allows for quick navigation via gestures
- Lenovo's ZUI launcher, is mostly stock Android, with a few customisations
Performance
- Excellent speed/performance throughout - on par with top-end Android flagship smartphones - and yet at a mid-range price!
Camera
- Decent rear camera - handles colours and finer details well
- The 8-megapixel on the front is also good and delivers crisp and wide shots
Audio
- Decent call quality
- Average loudspeaker
Battery
- Very good battery life - can muster over a day and half with moderate use
- The charger included in the box is an ordinary 10W unit rather than a Fast Charge 3.0 capable charger - which means that the phone's fast charging capabilities don't get fully utilized
