The company tried hard to make us believe that the Z5 smartphone will be The thing, the new cool kid on the block, the best thing since sliced bread. Awesome specs, kewl looks, full-panel display etc. Well, Z5’s official presentation came, and it is… just another smartphone. Nothing special. All the promises about the borderless display turned out to be lies – phone has a notch as well as a considerable ”goatee” at the bottom of the front panel. Bleh.

– fingerprint scanner,
– 16mpx + 8mpx main camera, 8mpx selfie shooter,
– 6.2′ display, 2246 x 1080p, IPS LCD.
