Zuk is another part of Lenovo. Since many in India may have not heard about Zuk it's a Chinese internet firm which are trying to compete with other manufacturers in the region such as LeEco and Xiaomi. This was founded in 2015. As per sources, this is the same firm that are firmly present in internet sources and now are also a part of IoT.

Its actually weird that Lenovo is the parent firm for their mobile manufacturer division which makes it absurd to actually now consider the same as a part of Lenovo. Even in spite of all these which are brought out to the attention of the readers, it's amusing to some Lenovo users. This is because the Chinese firm has now decided to back the new part of them which will keep things going on. This is because Zuk as a part of the firm can now function independently and need not adopt to the Lenovo ideologies and mindset.

The new phone is called Zuk Z1 or so called in the launch markets. The pros of the new device? It's powered by Cynagogenmod and of course a Snapdragon chipset. Even though Chinese, there have been prominent Chinese devices running on Snapdragon 801 with cyanogen mod some of them being OnePlus's first phone OPO. However, considering the same phone Zuk Z1, even though it's 2016, they have decided to put in the Snapdragon 801 which incepted in 2013. This is primarily due to the fact that for a budget pricing of 200$, this is a pretty good chipset after all. This phone will be seen running on a Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.5ghz on a quad-core chipset platform krait 400 chip powered by 3GB of memory along with Adreno 330 GPU. The display is an IPS LCD panel on a full HD 5.5 inches display with a pixel density count of 401.
