[Smartphones] | Lenovo Z5 | Not what we thought it was!

Not what I expected!

Lenovo Z5 was probably one of the most exciting phones in recent times which was apparently boasting about insane storage and battery capacities. Now that the phone is actually launched, the excitement surrounding it seems to have drastically reduced, and for very good reason.

This is a mixture of Lenovo's unconventional marketing strategy and people's misinterpretation of their teasers. The company said that the phone will have an insane screen to body ratio, a whopping 4 terabyte storage, and over a month of battery standby. Turns out, they are talking about three separate products and not just the phone. We just misinterpreted that.

Of course, these confusing reveals were done on purpose because the company has far less to lose in the market that it has to gain with this kind of marketing. Lenovo Z5 managed to be the hot topic of discussion for a good while now.

The 4 TB storage that Lenovo promised to us was a separate additional hard drive that they're launching, not the phone. The phone only comes with 64 GB of internal storage which can be expanded with a MicroSD card.

Expectations VS Reality

And that amazing battery standby was recording a Smartwatch with their also launching alongside the phone, which we wrongly assumed was for the phone's battery capacity.

The phone itself which has been launched is pretty good, but it's nowhere near as hype-worthy as the rumours. It was definitely a cheeky move by Lenovo to get our hopes up for the product and then disappoint us with a decent bargain, which is not the incredible flagship killer that we were expecting. But it is what it is, I suppose.

Thoughts? Meh!
