So much for 'all-screen': Lenovo Z5 has a notch and a chin

Lenovo on Tuesday unveiled its new flagship phone, the Lenovo Z5, and it was something of a letdown. 

The company had been building buzz for weeks that it would be all screen, but it turned out to be just another phone with an eyebrow on its top and a back similar to that of the Honor 10 or the Huawei P20.

According to the company's Chinese website, the phone has a 6.2-inch screen and the panel occupies 90 percent of its front, in which we find a notch at the top. The company has placed the fingerprint sensor on the back and the dual camera is positioned vertically, as in the iPhone X ($799.99 at Cricket Wireless).
