Lenovo ZUK Z1

Lenovo is coming with its latest smartphone model “Lenovo Z1” on May 10th i.e. in another two days. The same model released in the China market last year with the name ZUK Z1 to compete with the Xiaomi smartphones.

Lenovo Z1 sports with a 5.5-inch Full HD (1080p) screen, and runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset. It has Cyanogen OS 12.1 operating system which is based on Android Lollipop 5.1.

You remembered that Cyanogen has an exclusive partnership with Micromax since 2014. Few days back this exclusive partnership ended. Now any phone manufacturer can use Cyanogen OS in India.

Lenovo took this as an advantage and equipped Cyanogen OS in “Lenovo Z1” phone. Unlike Lenovo’s regular design pattern, this model has a unique look and feel. The front side of the phone sports with Glass, which extends to the entire edges of the phone. The backside of the device is designed with plastic. We can’t remove the back panel.

Other specifications of the phone are 3 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage. It doesn’t support MicroSD card. Coming to the camera details, Lenovo Z1 has 13 MP back camera with optical image stabilization, and for selfies capturing 8 MP front camera is available. The massive battery is another great feature of this phone. It powers on 4,100 mAh battery. Dual-SIM support, 4G LTE support, WiFi, USB Type – C Port, Fingerprint scanner are other features of this Lenovo Z1 Phone.

In China this phone priced at 1,799 Yuan (China’s currency), It costs around Rs. 18,300 as per the currency conversion in India. We have to wait till 10th May to get price and availability details of this phone.

Almost since January 2014, I have educated on various methods to use Whatsapp on the PC. Here you can watch few videos I prepared earlier for this purpose.

How to Use WhatsApp from PC? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4fboqEb3iE

All the above methods involved installing third-party virtualization software like Blue Stacks, Andy, etc.

To provide a more comfortable way to access Whatsapp on the desktop, last year the company introduced the web version of Whatsapp that can be accessible through Google Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers. Now most of the users who spend some hours in front of the PC utilizing web version of Whatsapp to communicate with their buddies.

Another great news for the PC and Mac users, latest leaked screenshots from a Twitter user suggests that full-pledged Whatsapp client for the PC and Mac operating systems is in the development. Sooner or later we are going to experience it. It will have all the functionality that mobile Whatsapp app is providing right now.

So get ready for the dedicated Whatsapp desktop client. Already other popular messaging services like Line, WeChat are already providing their desktop counterparts for the PC users from a long time.
