Lenovo Z5 Pro Unboxing , Specs and Review Video

The Z5 Pro is a budget slider that combines the best mid-range processor with some flagship specs including an in-display fingerprint sensor, but is it worth importing to the UK? Here's our full review.

With one of the best mid-range processors on the market and some flagship specs including a full-screen 6.39in AMOLED display and in-display fingerprint sensor the Lenovo Z5 Pro has a huge amount to offer at around £300. Unfortunately photography and audio leave something to be desired, and the complicated setup procedure makes the Z5 Pro difficult to recommend for an English-language audience.

Lenovo's Z5 Pro is a really interesting proposition in the mid-range phone market, mixing flagship specs with a Snapdragon 710 processor to keep down the price to an affordable level. It has the premium design of the Mi Mix 3 and Honor Magic 2, but comes in significantly cheaper with a current special offer bringing the price down to just £282.58/US$357.99.

With a sliding screen mechanism it is able to offer a full-screen display without a punch-hole or notch in which to house the selfie camera. And with the dual-lens camera hidden behind the display Lenovo achieves a 95% screen-to-body ratio. There's also an in-display fingerprint sensor, which remains a relatively rare feature even among flagships, so to see it in a circa-£300 phone is a welcome surprise.
