You are reading a story from PhoneRadar.

Earlier this month, a new smartphone with the model number Z2151 is listed on TENAA from Lenovo’s sub-brand ZUK. Later the Antutu listing confirmed the device to be the rumored ZUK Edge. Now, ZUK’s CEO and former VP of Lenovo, Chang Cheng confirmed through his recent Weibo post that the ZUK Edge will be officially launched next week in China. From the image he has posted, the device package includes the device itself along with paperwork, power adapter, USB cable and a back case with a leather finish. Xiaomi offered a premium looking complete leather back case with its edgeless smartphone, Mi MIX.

From the image, we can see the large home button on the front that will also feature a fingerprint sensor. The power button and the volume rocker are placed on the right edge of the device. On the black cardboard box, we can see the device name ‘ZUK Edge’ and on the front edge it says ‘Designed by Lenovo.’ It sports a 5.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display with a 2.5D glass on top. Under the hood, the ZUK Edge uses the Snapdragon 810 quad-core processor clocked at 2.35GHz and coupled with Adreno 530 GPU. Recently, the company announced the new Snapdragon 835 SoC that will be manufactured using Samsung’s 10nm FinFET process.

It comes in two variants with 4GB and 6GB RAM and will be available in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage options. The device will also run on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box with the ZUI 2.5 laid on top. Instead of a completely different brand, Lenovo launched the ZUK as a separate series under the Lenovo brand. Even the ZUK Z2 Plus launched in India came with Vibe UI with Google Launcher as the default option. In the camera department, there will be 13MP rear camera with LED flash and an 8MP selfie camera on the front. The device measures 142.9 x 74.5 x 7.68 mm and weigh 160 grams.

The health sensors that are introduced with the Lenovo Z2 Plus smartphone might be available on this upcoming device as well. While the ZUK Edge will be officially launched next week in China, there is no news about the availability of the same device in India.
