Lenovo Z5 Phone Has Plenty of Notch

Lenovo finally confirmed the anticipated “all-screen” Lenovo Z5 smartphone but before you get too excited, know that it does have a notch.

Contradicting the sketched teaser from a while ago, the Lenovo Z5 comes with a notch in the upper part of the screen and a chin at the bottom, achieving a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio (previously expected to be 95 percent). However, Lenovo claims that the notch in question is “narrower” than the one found on the iPhone X.

Still, considering the $200 starting price, it’s still a pretty impressive device. The Z5 comes with a 6.2-inch 1080p display with a 19:9 ratio and dual 16 MP cameras.

Under the hood, it houses an eight-core Qualcomm processor, 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB / 128 GB of storage and a 3,300 mAh battery compatible with fast charging. However, some fans are still not happy about the difference between the teasers and the final product.
