OnePlus Z Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OnePlus Z - priority shift

The Chinese company Vanplas is not the largest assortment of smartphones aimed at the high price segment. And although in the eyes of users the brand is associated exclusively with expensive phones, the manufacturer is not averse to “bite off a piece” of the average cost category. And although the previous attempt in the person of Model X was unsuccessful, the hero of today's review has a chance of success.

The design of the novelty combines many modern trends. The ergonomic metal and glass case, made in the style of the latest Samsung gadgets, a triple camera , a frameless display with a front camera, an “island” look fresh and memorable. It is pleasant to realize that the developer endowed the 6.67-inch AMOLED panel not only with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels and good brightness and contrast parameters, but also with a built-in fingerprint sensor and an increased image refresh rate of 90 hertz . This indicator will please gamers, as well as technical specifications.

The latest Mediatek Dimensity 1000 processor has advanced significantly compared to the previous chips of the company and together with 8GB of RAM and the Mali G77MC9 video accelerator conquers all demanding games with maximum graphics settings, without experiencing problems with throttling. 128 / 256GB is allocated to the internal storage, while there is no microSD card slot.

The main 64-, 12- and 5-megapixel photo modules, led by the impressive Sony IMX686 sensor, are endowed with optical stabilization and a hybrid five-fold zoom, which significantly increases the photographic capabilities of the phablet. Evening shots, photos of dynamic events work out for cameras, at least well. The 16-megapixel front camera also does not disappoint with the received selfies. The 4500mAh battery is characterized by fast charging and 8-9 hours of active screen time from a single charge. The excellent proprietary OxygenOS shell, support for 5G and NFC (contactless payments), coupled with these advantages, allow you to ignore the lack of a separate headphone jack, stereo speakers, and dust and moisture protection according to IP68 standards and call the device a future hit.
