It hasn’t been long since Lenovo’s ZUK Z1 was launched in Pakistan. Z1 offers top of the line features and a premium build in the midrange segment. Luckily for those who are searching for a new phone which can offer supreme experience at a low cost, the ZUK Z1 is now selling at Rs 27,999. That’s Rs 7,000 off its normal price of Rs 34,999 and about the same as the phone’s international price.
The massive 20 percent discount makes the ZUK Z1, “the best” phone in this price segment. Other than the massive discount, its retailer, Cheezmall, is giving 12GBs of free Zong 4G internet. Whether you are a Zong subscriber or not, 6 months of free 4G internet is always good.
Despite what the price might indicate, the phone comes with a great 1080p 5.5-inch screen. The phone is built around a metal frame and matte plastic and is less than 9mm thin. Below the screen there’s a unique fingerprint scanner which doubles as a multipurpose button and you can perform multiple actions (back, home, task switcher) by tapping, pushing the button or simply swiping.
To remind you of the feature list boasted by the ZUK Z1, it comes with the Snapdragon 801, which, according to ZUK, offers reliable performance of the chipset, good performance and battery optimisations. There’s 3GB of RAM and massive 64GB of storage offered by the ZUK Z1. ZUK’s phone comes with dual-SIM and dual 4G support, something not often seen in dual-SIM smartphones. The phone supports all networks including Telenor’s new 4G band.
The camera department features Sony camera sensors. The rear one is a 13MP unit while the front one is an 8MP one. There’s a dual LED flash accompanying the rear camera.
There’s a huge 4,100 mAh battery in there too which should last you a couple of days of heavy use easily. Underneath the phone, there is a USB Type-C port which helps charge the phone quickly and makes data transfers much faster. A 5 minute charge is enough for 2 hours of calling on the Z1.
Finally, the phone runs Cyanogen OS 12.1 upgradeable to Cyanogen OS 13. Cyanogen offers the freedom and performance that none of the other phones can match, giving ZUK Z1 another advantage over its competitors.
With the discount and the free data in mind, Z1 is a great buy for anyone looking for a phone in this price segment. The phone can be bought from Cheezmall for Rs 27,999 here.

Still not worth it. SOC is is too old and 175g is too much weight. Do you propk guys get paid by cheezmall or have some stakes in it ?
Yes I was looking for a Sponsored Story/Paid Post tag in the article but couldn’t find it.
Cheezmaal ya Cheap mall :)

For 23 on Daraz not a bad deal now…
yea yea yea, when aliexpress sellers are selling it for 200 dollars a pop.
Abdul Bhai ProPK ka favorite cheezmall offer de raha hai tu usko cover karna tu banta tha na janab. Cheezmall tu agar aalo bhi 5rs/kg kam main beche ga market se tu woh news bhi ProPK par cover hogi news. Han woh alag baat hai ke aalo saray hue honge :D
saray hue aaloo,, app ki tarah LOLZ
Lolz, thank you cheezmall for the comment! Made my day :D
I agree k aloo saray hue honge
but not apki trha LOL
Who is selling it for $200? Every authentic seller is selling it for around 290 while Zuk own website is selling it for 279.99
Aliexpress pe dekho
Aliexpress pai dekh k hi to poocha hai. 290 price has tamam achi rating walay authentic stores pai
ratings always dont matter as some seller were selling it at better price before so their rating is still high. Some buyers from EU dont want to pay tax so they also look for sellers who ship from EU. So rating does not mean the price and product ratio is equal.
What are you saying? Its not relevant to the topic here
u said about ratings.
I meant that sellers with good rating had it at high prices. High ratings mean trustworthy. Who knows what others are selling or whether it is refurbished or has some other problems.
However, the price has come down since we began this conversation and its selling for about $220 and if you add taxes 27k still isnt bad but it is no longer the offer it was.
It is still the best new phone you can buy for the price I think.
Aliexpress sellers mention about refurbished phones clearly. Furthermore Chinese phones are not refurbished on Aliexpress.
Check Xiaomi for example. 90% are fake or refurbished on Aliexpress. It happens there as well. Same goes for other Chinese companies. People sell fake copies for cheaper prices.
Xiaomi and Huawei have even acknowledged the issue of duplicates in China.
Aliexpress is not like ur local lalu panju market. 90 percent phones there are original. If the seller tries to place a product low from its actual price his/her listed gets blocked or is not shown in search results.
I know its not a lallu panju market. Try ordering some Xiaomi product and you will understand how may fakes there are. Most of them are fake. Just search for Mi3 or a power bank.
we are talking about phones here. u r talking about something else. And besides many sellers like xiaomi even allow u to check authenticity of their products via internet.
I am just replying to you. You keep changing topics. We were talking about ZUK on AliExpress when you quoted a price which still isn’t available after a $70 dollar price drop in its price last week.
And I know Xiaomi have an app for authenticity. Your reply isn’t relevant for anyone ordering a Xiaomi from Aliexpress since you can’t check the phone before ordering it(They are banned anyway so there’s that).
I really think u should get ur cranium examined.
Just like every other “Jahil” you stoop to insults instead of replying. All of it over a minor thing such as a mistake in quoting the international price of the Zuk Z1.
I’ll leave you to it then. No use in a discussion with a person who doesn’t have basic etiquette.
Jalny walo ka munh kala :D KMQ aapny to qasm khai hay, k , jab bhi cheezmall sy related article aayga, aapny -ve Comment krna hay.
well, that’s awesome.. Even Daraz haven’t given that much discount For ZUK Z1, on their Mobile Week Campaign.
