Lenovo had
launched its first Zuk-branded smartphone in India last week, the Zuk Z1, pricing it at Rs. 13.499. The smartphone will be made available in its first flash sale on Thursday via Amazon India at 2pm.
To recall, registrations for the sale began last week. The biggest highlight of the
Lenovo Zuk Z1 is that it runs Cyanogen OS 12.1 based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, which means that users will get the ability to customise their phone interface.
