How to flash Lenovo Vibe Z2. Updating to Android 11, 10, Pie 9, Oreo 8.1

Why you need to update the firmware on Android

The main point of updates is to eradicate bugs, problems and shortcomings, of which there are plenty in the Android operating system:

• For example, system applications freeze or crash.
• Blurred corners of pictures with a good camera.
• The smartphone does not turn on at all.
• The smartphone goes into an endless reboot.
• When you turn on Wi-Fi, the battery runs out within a couple of hours - a problem with energy consumption.
• There can be a lot of glitches; there are times when the phone itself starts calling the first number in the phone book. Hardly anyone is happy with this behavior.

There are also ordinary enthusiasts who love everything new and want to test the latest Android.

Space

What else is important for a phone? And for any modern device too. Of course, this is nothing more than memory. It can be operational (systemic) or conventional. The first is needed to ensure the operation of the operating system on a computer, tablet or phone. And the second is responsible for the ability to store a certain amount of information. And there should be harmony between all the characteristics of the phone. Otherwise, the power of the mobile will drop, along with its productivity, several times. Not the best blow to the manufacturer's reputation.

How are we doing with such a thing as the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro phone? To be honest, there is more than enough RAM here - as much as 3 GB. For comparison: most smartphones are made with 1-2 GB of memory. And only a few with 3-4. For a processor with 4 cores and a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz, the selected indicator is ideal. It allows you to use all the resources of the device to ensure the speed and power of the system.

But after the RAM is selected, it is worth paying attention to the usual place on the smartphone. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro mobile phone offers us 30 GB of space for personal data. In general, the built-in memory in this model is 32 GB, but 2 of them are occupied by the operating system. In principle, now this amount of space is enough for many. This applies to the average buyer who just wants to stay connected. But cheaper models are better suited for them. But active users are often not particularly happy with 30 GB of space. After all, this is so little. Especially if you are used to (or plan to) play games, as well as watch high-quality films/videos and listen to a lot of music.

What to do in this case? Typically, buyers choose the route of purchasing an additional memory card. It is inserted into almost any phone and, if necessary, can be easily and simply transferred to a new device. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro smartphone, unfortunately, does not have a slot for connecting a card. And this is a significant disadvantage of the model. After all, you will have to strictly limit yourself in space. This is especially bad when you are an extremely active gamer and music lover who also enjoys watching videos and movies on your phone, as well as reading books using this equipment. This fact greatly discourages potential buyers.

Download firmware

You live with this operating system and you decide what to install, but we recommend installing Android at least version seven or higher, because everything lower is already obsolete.

Screen

The second important component is the smartphone screen. Nowadays, many people like to play games on such devices. And on a small display this is not very convenient. And large models have their drawbacks. For example, it is inconvenient to use for calls in many cases. Therefore, it is always important to find a “golden mean”.

True, the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, which we are continuing to review, cannot be called miniature. The thing is that our smartphone today is quite large. The screen size is 6 inches. This is a lot for a modern device. Sometimes only tablets are comparable to this indicator. Some people jokingly call the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) a small tablet with phone functions. In terms of power and some capabilities, this is indeed true.

It is also important to pay attention to such an item as display resolution. It is believed that the more dots it contains, the better. And this is quite logical. On a device with good resolution, you can play colorful games without any problems, as well as watch high-quality films and videos in Full-HD format. Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) has these indicators at the highest level. After all, the resolution is 2560 by 1440 pixels. Only a few can boast of such characteristics. And, to be honest, this fact makes buyers extremely happy. Especially those for whom the screen plays almost a primary role. For example, for gamers or movie lovers. Of course, this new model also supports 16 million colors. The image on the display will be beautiful, clear and bright.

It is also worth noting the fact that the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) has a touch screen with IPS technology. In addition, this model is equipped with good protective glass. It is able to prevent scratches and abrasions on the display when dropped even from a great height. For this feature, the smartphone receives huge advantages. As with most analogues, there is a function to automatically rotate the screen depending on the position of the device. If you don't need it, you can always disable this feature. And then connect again if particularly necessary.

How to get root rights

In the field of obtaining root rights, there are two universal programs (universal because they support a lot of devices) that get root in 1 click, this is ZYKURoot 2.2 - (site zykuroot.info), maybe there is a newer version, you need to look at this on the site

​And Rootkhp Pro 2.6 – (from the Rootkhp pro website). The version may also not be the latest; you need to check their website.

In general, instructions for them are not needed, everything is as usual, connect the phone to the computer and click Root. Then we sit and wait for what the program says.

Communication support

What were telephones originally created for? Of course, in order to talk. That is, receive and make calls. Now there are many different types of networks. And every good phone should support them.

The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) smartphone has many network options. There is an already outdated 2G signal, GPRS, and GPS. This model also has support for 3G and even 4G networks. The last option, by the way, is most valued. After all, it is precisely this that allows us to provide customers with fast, reliable and high-quality communications. In particular, this applies to the Internet.

Among other things, there is Wi-Fi, as well as Bluetooth 4.0. This approach provides the smartphone with access to a wireless Internet network, as well as similar data transfer from one device to another at high speed. Just what many are looking for. True, Bluetooth technologies are now slowly fading into the background. However, a smartphone without this feature is considered outdated, bad, unpopular and of poor quality. You could say it's last century, not cell phone. And without Bluetooth, smartphones are usually not purchased.

In addition, the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro K920 phone receives positive reviews from customers because it allows you to use two numbers at the same time. That is, this is a smartphone with multiple SIM cards. A very popular technique among modern manufacturers. In fact, it is extremely convenient. Now you can combine your work phone with your home phone in one device. And this fact cannot but rejoice.

But this also has its drawbacks. Many buyers doubt the quality of using two SIM cards at the same time. Especially different mobile operators. Previously, in this case, various network and smartphone system failures were observed. But now such fears are in vain - modern models of communication devices with the outside world have long stopped all problems. So you can safely buy a Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro mobile phone and enjoy all its features.

The last point to consider is the format of SIM cards. After all, it can now be of three types:

• regular (old big cards);
• micro;
• nano.

If you have a large SIM card, you can cut it to the desired size. But it would be better to replace it with a mobile operator without losing your number. “Micro” can also be reduced. But “nano” is not subject to any correction. Only a complete change of number and SIM card. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro K920 gets good reviews because it has 2 connectors for connecting and using a micro-SIM. It's quite convenient and good. After all, if necessary, it will be possible to “cut down” SIM cards to nano sizes. In addition, this option is now most common among mobile operators.

Equipment

What is included in the product package (especially equipment) is of great interest to customers. After all, there are often cases when stores removed some components from a set in order to make a profit from their sale. Nobody wants to be deceived. And even more so, paying twice for something that should already be included with the phone.

What is included with the Lenovo K920 Vibe Z2 Pro, the review of which we are completing? For example, you will certainly find in the box with the device a warranty card, a receipt, a USB cable, and also an instruction manual. Plus, the kit also includes a charger. But that's not all. After all, having purchased this smartphone, you will also receive a wired headset as a gift. Sometimes in the box you can find a phone keychain or even a case and protective film. But such a “complete set”, as a rule, is not sold in Russia. In this country you will only have to find a headset in addition to the standard set.

Price list

Price is one of the most important indicators influencing the final decision when making a particular purchase. As already mentioned, it must correspond to the characteristics of the device. In other words, there is no point in overpaying for an outdated, low-quality smartphone model that does not have good power.

How is Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) doing? One might say, not as good as we would like. After all, the price for this phone is quite high - 30,000 rubles. And it has significant drawbacks. For example, a weak battery or the inability to connect additional memory. All this leaves its mark on the rating of the smartphone.

However, this option has many more advantages. And it is for them that buyers are willing to pay 30 thousand rubles a month. But, to be honest, people often think about choosing a cheaper and no less powerful phone. In principle, this is the right decision if you are not chasing the latest innovations.

Capture mode

The telephone is no longer just a means of connecting people. This device now plays the role of many additional technologies - a camera, a camera, a navigator, an alarm clock, an organizer, and so on. So quite a lot of people give their preference to models with a good camera. After all, it is very convenient to have a good and multifunctional camera on hand with which you can make calls and more.

The Lenovo K920 Vibe Z2 Pro, which we review carefully and thoroughly, is equipped with multiple cameras. A popular technique from the best manufacturers. There is a front camera and a rear one. The first allows you to easily and easily take selfies, as well as talk via video call. And the rear one is a regular camera, which is needed to take photos and shoot videos. This fact already pleases many buyers.

The quality of the cameras is also at a decent level. The front one has 5 megapixels. This is a very high figure. In order to understand how high-quality pictures you will receive, pay attention to computer webcams. On average, they only have 2-3 megapixels available. So the difference is significant.

The rear camera is almost 3 times more powerful. It has 16 megapixels available. In addition, there is autofocus, flash and image stabilization. With these features, you will be able to record video in Ultra HD format, and also get high-quality, bright and unforgettable photos without streaks, blurring and other flaws.

Battery

The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro's characteristics, as you can see, are at a fairly high level. But what can be said about such an important point as battery performance? The thing is that this particular feature worries many buyers. Why? Initially, the telephone was invented in order to maintain contact with the outside world. This means that such a device should work well and for a long time. And it is right.

But modern buyers are accustomed to actively using all the opportunities offered to them. It’s also logical - the price has been paid, why not? Only this affects the operating time of the phone. Lenovo K920 Vibe Z2 Pro, the firmware of which pleases everyone, to be honest, has far from the best performance in terms of its operation without recharging. To be honest, you can find models that will last a longer period of time.

What exactly are we talking about? The whole problem is that this smartphone lasts about 40 days in standby mode. This is all provided that you do not even use an alarm clock on the device. But when answering calls alone (inactive use), you can only count on 2 weeks of work. Are you an active gamer or user who likes to watch movies, listen to music and surf the Internet? Then you can be sure that your phone will require charging after a maximum of 3 days. Typically, the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro works in this mode for 2.5 days.

Fortunately, it charges quickly - only 1.5-2 hours. And then you can work with the device again. The smartphone is charged wired. That is, familiar to many. Although some potential buyers are looking specifically for wireless chargers. Unfortunately, only Nokia Lumia currently has such a function.

conclusions

So, now it's time to sum up our conversation today, and also decide whether to buy the Lenovo Vibe Z2. In general, everyone decides for themselves. And, to be honest, you need to take a closer look at the model. Especially if the budget allows it.

If you just need a powerful smartphone, then it’s better to find a cheaper analogue. For example, take a closer look at Huawei or Samsung. But in cases where you are not just an average user, but a person who likes to use the phone “to the fullest,” then, of course, you should pay attention to Lenovo. As you can see, the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro receives quite good reviews in many respects. But such a model is expensive.

In addition, it is not recommended to buy this smartphone for children and women with small hands. Using a 6-inch phone will simply be inconvenient. But if you have the desire and opportunity, then it’s worth purchasing this model. But first, carefully weigh all the pros and cons of the device’s characteristics.

Additional functions

Functionality is also a rather important point that is worth paying attention to. Sometimes the additional capabilities of a device can help you in many life situations. Especially if you are used to not parting with your phone.

Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro receives very positive reviews in this regard. The thing is that this model is equipped with numerous functions. Here you can find voice control, a navigator, an alarm clock, and a compass. But that is not all. In addition to all the “standard set”, you can find an acceleration, motion and screen orientation sensor. This also includes a proximity detection program, radio and light sensor.

In principle, this is not so important for the characteristics of the phone. But buyers want the smartphones offered to be multifunctional. And this is a normal phenomenon - progress does not stand still. Technologies are constantly developing, and human needs are growing more and more every day.
