At present, the Snapdragon 855 models have entered a melee. Among them, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT 855 version, iQOO, and Xiaomi 9, all priced at 3,000 yuan, form the three domestic Snapdragons. The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT 855 version is a model that came out relatively early. Due to its high cost performance, it is difficult to get hold of it, so I will review this model so late. The addition of Snapdragon 855 models such as iQOO and Samsung Galaxy S10 has made the flagship battlefield confusing. So at this point in time, whether it is still worth buying the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT 855 version, let us enter today’s comprehensive evaluation.
丨Appearance design丨95.06 high screen-to-body ratio and sliding screen
In terms of packaging accessories, the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT 855 version is similar to the Z5 Pro, using a black and red square hood. Pull-type packaging with Lenovo Z5 Pro GT printed on the front. It is as ingenious as Lenovo advertises and is loyal to the details. In terms of packaging, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is the first little surprise for us.
In terms of screen-to-body ratio, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is the same as the other two sliding screen brothers Honor Magic 2 and Xiaomi MIX 3, both of which have a sliding full-screen design that removes the forehead and leaves a chin. Comparing Xiaomi MIX 3, the chin width of the two phones is almost the same.
Compared with the forehead part of Xiaomi 9, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has obvious advantages. Not only is the frame narrower, but it also lacks a water drop design and a row of earpieces, which makes it appear more integrated.
The earpiece and front panel are both hidden in the sliding screen, which also leads to the problem of the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT being slightly thicker. The thickness of 9.3mm is thicker than the mainstream 7.5mm.
Speaking of sliding screen design, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is similar to Xiaomi MIX 3. The screen and body are directly stacked together, but the slide rail structure is slightly different. Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has added a double helix structure and six-position parallel slide rails, which is structurally innovative; while Xiaomi MIX 3 has added magnets for assistance, so you will always feel a clear sense of resistance when sliding. Lenovo Z5 Pro GT can push the screen open with a little force, which is easier to slide than Xiaomi MIX 3.
In terms of weight, the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is actually measured at 210 grams, which is heavier than the mainstream 170-gram full-screen mobile phone. Although it is a bit lighter than the 220 grams of Xiaomi MIX 3, if you wear a case Even if you hold the film in your hand for a long time, the thick feeling will not be wiped off.
In other aspects, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has volume buttons on the left, main buttons with anti-slip texture on the right, Type-C interface on the bottom, and the 3.5mm headphone jack has been cancelled. In previous reviews, we mentioned that in order to maintain the thickness of the body, Xiaomi MIX 3 has less space reserved for the Type-C charging port, which also results in Xiaomi MIX 3 being unable to slide the screen while charging. Lenovo Z5 Pro GT benefits from a thicker body and can slide the screen while charging.
02丨Performance configuration丨The actual running score of Snapdragon 855 is 360,000
丨Performance configuration丨The actual running score of Snapdragon 855 is 360,000
About Snapdragon 855 I believe everyone is familiar with this SoC. If Snapdragon 845 dominated the mobile phone market in 2018, then the protagonist in 2019 will be Snapdragon 855. Simply put, both the CPU and GPU parts are the best in the current Android lineup.
With the blessing of 7nm CPU, the performance of power consumption and sustained performance output is more eye-catching, which is more advantageous than Xiaomi MIX 3's Snapdragon 845.
As for the scheduling mechanism in daily use, Lenovo Changcheng’s Weibo has explained everything to us.
He recently forwarded a Weibo test of Xiaomi 9 comparing with Lenovo Z5 Pro GT. In the test, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT was better than Xiaomi 9 in terms of response speed when opening applications. Watch the video below:
In the game test session, based on the Kryo 485 CPU built with Arm Cortex technology, the overall game performance of the Snapdragon 855 is relatively stable. For example, in the high-definition and high-definition mode of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", it can basically maintain the entire 15-minute game process. About 40 frames. In the "Honor of Kings" test, it was basically able to maintain a full frame state of 60 frames during 30 minutes.
Then let’s take a look at the heat dissipation. Select the game “Honor of Kings” and still test the front and back temperatures in full HD and high frame rate mode after 30 minutes.
It can be seen that after 30 minutes of testing, the temperature of the front and back of the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT did not exceed 41°C, and the heat dissipation was relatively balanced.
In general, the Snapdragon 855 mobile platform on the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has not shrunk and can be used in most large-scale games. Thanks to the Adreno 640 GPU blessing, the graphics rendering speed has also been improved. This game can be played with almost no screen freezes.
03丨Camera丨IMX576 and IMX519 cooperate seamlessly
丨Camera丨IMX576 IMX519 cooperate seamlessly
In terms of camera, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT uses a rear 2400 The main camera uses a 24-megapixel IMX576 Sony sensor, which has 4-in-1 photosensitivity enhancement technology. Simply put, 4 pixels are synthesized through software to achieve a photosensitive effect of a single pixel size of 1.8m.
Let’s take a look at the actual sample comparison:
Under normal brightness, the overall performance of Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is pretty good. In some scenes with high contrast, the camera also performs well. HDR will be automatically turned on to improve the dynamic range of the entire screen.
The overall color style of the camera tends to be cold, and the default color saturation is lower than that of Xiaomi Mi 9. This also leads to sometimes obvious visual differences between the actual color and the captured color.
In terms of distant view resolution, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT supports AF autofocus. After zooming in, the detail performance of the distant view is not obvious compared to the phase focus of Xiaomi Mi 9.
In terms of night scenes, the super night scene shooting speed of Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is better than that of Xiaomi Mi 9. However, Xiaomi Mi 9 needs to use multi-frame synthesis, so you have to wait a few seconds longer. In terms of actual performance, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is slightly better than Xiaomi Mi 9 in terms of picture details and noise control.
In selfie mode, the imaging of Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is pretty good, with a front-facing 16-megapixel beauty camera and an 8-megapixel infrared camera. Both in terms of beauty effect and details, it has excellent performance at the same price. Strong competitiveness.

3 icon layouts
3 icon layouts can be set according to user habits; a quick entry to global search is added to make the overall desktop experience efficient and smooth.
System-level security defense
ZUI10 has system-level security defense. What impressed me deeply was the scan-free cleaning and acceleration technology. From application installation management, automatic cleaning acceleration and permission control during use to residual cleaning after uninstallation, automatic security throughout the entire life cycle makes me feel at ease during use.
The screen unlocking speed is faster
Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is equipped with the fifth-generation photoelectric under-screen fingerprint sensor. Compared with the previous generation, the unlocking speed is faster when compared with user information. Come on, we did the actual test, watch the video.
As you can see, the measured unlocking speed of Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is 0.45 seconds, which is relatively fast. It can bring an efficient user experience during use.
