Lenovo-backed ZUK has just Launched the Z2 Pro Smartphone in China. The company may also be planning to launch the brand in India. Lenovo has just sent out invites to media for an event. The invite hints about a device called Z1 to be launched on that day. The name Z1 strongly hints at the ZUK Z1 smartphone that was launched in China last year. The invite doesn’t have the dates mentioned for the event, but we can easily speculate it to happen later this month or early next month.
For those aren’t aware about ZUK, it is a sub-brand of Lenovo that was introduced in August last year. The sub-brand is Internet exclusive and targeted at the youth. The Z1 was the first flagship smartphone under this brand and was launched in China for 1,799 Yuan, Rs 18,000 approximately.
