Lenovo can be considered to be a company that can make some good designed device for the new generation. It is mostly known for making good laptops which are famous for their unique design preferences but, recently Lenovo has also been making mobile phones that are able to show the same design elements that are a trademark of their laptops. The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is a mobile device that is in the mid price range segment and is priced at around 32000 Rupees.
The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has a 6.39 inches of Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen that has a screen resolution of about 1080 x 2340 pixels with a pixel density of 403 ppi. The colour reproduction is good but the pixel density is just able to keep up with the size of the display to not let the images pixelate. The sunlight reading is dim with the brightness turned down but can be easily fixed by turning the brightness up to full. The fingerprint sensor on the device is placed under the display on the front and it also has the new face recognition unlocking feature using infrared.
The cameras on the Lenovo devices are well optimized and take some good pictures. The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has a dual camera setup in the rear with a 16 MP lens that has an aperture size of f/1.8 and a second camera with a 24 MP lens. The front cameras also have a dual camera setup but the cameras pop-up manually so as to give the user the fullscreen bezel less experience that one wants from a screen display on android devices these days. The front cameras are a 16 MP lens with an aperture size of f/2.2 and a 8 MP lens. The cameras take decent pictures in normal daylight conditions and suffer from some noise in artificial lighting conditions. The low light pictures are good but could be better. The videos taken on the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT have good 1080p resolution with 120fps settings and you can share them online without quality loss.
The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset with Octa-core (1x2.84 GHz Kryo 485 & 3x2.42 GHz Kryo 485 & 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 485) processors and Adreno 640 graphics chipset. The device runs on the Android 8.1 (Oreo) and is optimized to work properly with the hardware. It is overlaid with the ZUI 10 skin which has some bloatware. The device has 8 GB RAM and 128/256 GB of internal storage or 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage but there is no support for MicroSD card.
The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has a 3300 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery and it is shipped with a fast charger. The device is able to sustain for a day and a half before running out of juice with average usage. It goes from 0-100 in about 2 hours with the help of the 18W fast charger.
The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT comes in Carbon Black color.

The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is a good device but is expensive for the features it offers. Most other phones are available at the mid level segment and offer better specifications.
The cameras take decent quality images. The color reproduction is natural and crisp in normal lighting conditions, but some of the pictures suffer from noise in low light conditions and lack of detail can be seen.
The device has a 3350mAh battery that lasts you for almost a day and a half which is good but the device takes about 2 hours to fully charge with the help of the 18W fast charger.
The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is a device that is decently priced for the features it offers to the consumers and can be a decent investment for your money. For its latest snapdragon 855 and 8/12GB RAM it is worth spending around 32000 rupees on this device.
