If we thought that Xiaomi products came with an unfathomable price/performance ratio, then wait till you get a load of the hardware present in ZUK Z2. The smartphone is expected to be released in January and it is going to be carrying a killer price tag. After all, the company somehow has to exceed the expectations of smartphone users that got to witness its ZUK Z1. Earlier this month Zuk CEO confirmed that Zuk Z2 smartphone would be arriving next year. He did not reveal anything about the handset but did confirm the inclusion of Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC under-the-hood. However, now a bunch of images claiming to show the Zuk Z2 has surfaced on the Web showing a rather different design when compared to the Zuk Z1. The images shared by My Drivers website show that the topmost part (edge-to-edge) of the smartphone can be rotated, meaning the smartphone would only feature a single camera that will be used as both rear camera and the front-facing camera. The render images however fail to reveal any of the specifications of the Zuk Z2. However, they do suggest a 2.5D glass display and a metal frame. Zuk CEO earlier this month also said that the Zuk Z1 users would be receiving a new ZUI version based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, sometime in March next year. The version's closed beta is expected to reach by the end of next month. Last month, the Zuk Z1 smartphone reached international markets with Cyanogen OS 12.1, as promised in August. The smartphone in China was launched with the firm's own ZUI skin running atop Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out-of-the-box. Moving on, the source mentions that the device is going to feature 64GB of on-board storage, but has not made an indication of a MicroSD slot. We are hoping that if ZUK Z2 does get announced in January, then it should sport a MicroSD slot otherwise the device will be following in the same footsteps as Galaxy Note 5, and we all know how that is going to end. According to the pricing details, the source reveals that the price of ZUK Z2 is going to be 2,000 Yuan, which when converted, gives you a total of $314.10. This is actually surprising, since the base model of OnePlus 2; the one that has 3GB of RAM carries a price of $329. According to Xiaomi Today, it is possible that the funding being given to it from Lenovo is sufficient enough for it to price its handsets so low that it is effectively able to create a potential market for itself. On the company’s website, it states that ZUK Z1 comes with a price of $319.90, so the idea that ZUK Z2 is going to be sold for less than this is not being planted in our head. Looks like we will get to know more details when the handset is being prepped for launch. - See more at: http://www.khanstory.com/2015/11/zuk-z2-smartphone-specification-leaked.html#sthash.CsHcWigH.dpuf
