Information about Lenovo

In 1984, members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provided 200,000 yuan to set up a company under the management of Liu Chuanzhi. At the initial stage, the company was called "New Technology Developer Incorporated", the main direction of which was the import of electronic watches and televisions, as well as the adaptation of computers to work with hieroglyphs. In subsequent years, the already renamed company "Legend" was engaged in the production of mobile phones, personal computers, developed software, and also distributed electronics both of its own production and electronics of other companies.

In 2003, the company changed its name to the familiar Lenovo. In 2005, after making agreements and working together with IBM, Lenovo becomes the largest manufacturer of personal computers in the world. Further transactions were made with companies: NEC, Medion, Google, as well as an update of the transaction with IBM.

To date, the value of the corporation reaches 47 billion dollars, and more than 57 thousand people are on the staff. The company also has 46 own laboratories located in Japan, the USA and China. The main direction of "Lenovo" is:

• investments in promising companies and cloud computing;

Equipment

The device comes in a black matte box, which contains:

• smartphone;
• protective film, which will need to be glued on its own;
• transparent protective case made of silicone;
• USB-C cable and adapter for synchronizing a smartphone with a computer and recharging;
• user's manual;
• warranty card;
• charging block;
• metal clip to open the sim card slot.

The appearance of the smartphone

Lenovo Z6 Pro can be purchased in two colors - red-black gradient and green-blue. Manufacturers used glass and metal as materials for the case. The result of this solution is an incredibly beautiful combination of glass and gradient colors.

To protect against possible damage, the sixth generation tempered glass Gorilla Glass is installed on the back and front. Fingerprints left on the back panel are erased easily and quickly, thanks to the oleophobic coating.

Given consumer feedback, it should be noted that even Gorilla Glass 6 will not protect the back panel from damage and chips.Therefore, it is still necessary to protect the phone additionally using a film and a case.

Z6 Pro is very comfortable to use: the case is made in the shape of a boat, which made it possible to achieve a narrowing from the center to the edges. The edges themselves are rounded.

Location of buttons and cameras

At the top in the middle of the screen is a waterdrop notch for the front camera. Above the camera is a speaker, light and proximity sensors. There are 4 rear cameras installed on the rear panel, where 3 make up one block, and 1 is located just below. The flash and the hole for laser autofocus are located on the right side of the cameras.
