Kingzone Z1: Octa-core smartphone with 2 GB RAM for $180

Kingzone Z1 isn't exactly the most renowned mobile brand, but that shouldn't deter us from taking a look at the specifications of this new smartphone, that is available for pre-ordering around the 200 dollar mark.

Even the slightest glance at the Kingzone Z1 can't hide the fact that Kingzone is getting "inspired" by the design of Nexus 5. As I'm not a huge fan of hardware buttons, going for the on-screen button seems to be a plus point (depending on one's taste, opinions might differ). The phone has a 5.5 inch HD screen, which has became kinda standard for phones in this budget range. With 4G support, you can stay sure that you phone won't seem outdated, at least in the connectivity department for the next few days.



The phone comes powered with MT6752 chipset from Mediatek, which is an octa-core processor with 64 bit architecture. An ARM Mali760 MP2 handles the graphics on the device, and 2 GB RAM is present to support multi-tasking between apps. That much RAM is generally sufficient enough to make sure that background apps don't get cleared from the memory forcefully.

On software front, the Z1 ships with Android 4.4 KitKat, with no words about any future Lollipop update. The phone also supports different languages, including Hindi, Indonesian, Thai, Portuguese, Spanish etc.



Let us take a look at all the specifications the Kingzone Z1 packs:

  • Dual SIM with 4G support
  • 1.7 GHz Octa-core MT6752 processor (64 bit architecture)
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 16 GB internal memory, expandable up to 64 GB
  • 5.5 inch HD IPS display
  • 13 MP rear camera, 8 MP front camera
  • OTG and NFC support
  • 3500 mAh battery
  • Dimensions: 143.8 x 71.8 x 7.3 mm
  • Weighs 139 grams
All in al, the phone seems to be a good deal at $210 on Gearbest.com. To sweeten the deal further, we have an exclusive $20 off coupon - GBKZ1, which brings the price of the phone down to $189.99. The phone is up for pre-order right now, and if brand name doesn't matter to you, this is a good option to consider at this price point.
