The Lenovo Z5s is Lenovo’s first phone that has three cameras on its back. The device is a more affordable version of the Lenovo Z5 Pro, but it is more powerful than the Lenovo Z5. It is also the first phone coming from the manufacturer that comes with a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. Check out the key features, full specification, price and release date of the recently announced Lenovo Z5s.
Lenovo Z5s Features
The Lenovo Z5s comes with a Snapdragon 710 chipset with octa-core CPU and Adreno 616 GPU. The phone has three memory configurations; 4GB RAM + 64GB storage, 6GB RAM + 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage. The screen is a 6.3 LTPS LCD with Full HD+ resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The tiny notch at the front houses a 16MP camera with Face Unlock and some pixel binding technology for sharper photos.
Looking at the camera department, the back of the Lenovo Z5s is where the interesting feature is.

Other features include PDAF, 4k video recording, and a dual LED flash for good measure.
