The teaser for the smartphone points at a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, rather than MediaTek.

Lenovo’s subsidiary ZUK will be unveiling its new Z2 smartphone on May 31, in China. The company posted a teaser image of the launch on its Weibo account, which points towards the smartphone being powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. However ZUK’s CEO Chang Cheng had earlier hinted on Weibo that the upcoming smartphone may be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 8890 SoC. Further, he also posted renders of the upcoming device. It is possible that the upcoming smartphone may have two variants. It is not known which Snapdragon processor will be used in the upcoming smartphone, but speculations suggests that it will either be the Snapdragon 820 or Snapdragon 652. Apart from this, the ZUK Z2 is expected to feature a 4.7-inch Full HD display along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It is also tipped to feature a 4100mAh battery, and 13MP/8MP cameras.

The ZUK Z2 Pro was launched in China last month at CNY 2,699 (approx. Rs. 27,700). The device sports a 5.2-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC with 6GB of RAM. The device features 13MP and 5MP cameras, and offers 128GB of storage. Another variant of the phone with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage was also announced. ZUK's first smartphone, the Lenovo ZUK Z1, was launched in India earlier this month at Rs. 13,499.
