Lenovo launches the Z2 Plus in India in two variants 

At a press conference in New Delhi earlier today, Lenovo launched the Z2 Plus smartphone in India, the rebranded version of the Zuk Z2 launched in China earlier this year.

Detailing the reasons behind the rebranding in the country, Anuj Sharma, Head of Product Marketing – Smartphones, Lenovo MBG India told Gadgets 360 earlier, “Once we are getting into a particular price band, we want to make sure consumers know the brand. We want to sell the phone. We are not bringing the device as token flagship as India is still a big market for us. However, Zuk branding will be there on the box, with the text ‘Powered by Zuk’ as a hat tip for the Zuk team.”

In India, the Z2 Plus comes in two variants. There’s a 3GB + 32GB variant as well as one with 4GB + 64GB. The Z2 Plus also packs in a ‘sensor processing unit’ which is used for U-Health, an app that tracks your activity and steps.

• Operating System: Android Marshmallow 6.0 with ZUI 2.0
• Display: 5-inch Full HD (1920 × 1080) LCD | 441ppi

Available in two colors – black and white – the Lenovo Z2 Plus will be exclusively available on Amazon India at a price of ₹19,999 ($300) for the higher spec’d variant and ₹17,999 ($270) for the other one. There are also a few accessories that Lenovo is selling along for the Z2 Plus. There’s a flip cover called Chrono Case for ₹1,299, Skullcandy Ando headset for ₹1,299 (there’s no headset in the Z2 Plus box, mind you), and a Stealth Case for ₹699.
