Camera slow work will be fixed soon, I use unofficial cm 13 with snapdragon camera and it works better then camera next. The thing is that CM team doesn't care about stabile work of our device.

No, it does not support VoLTE, as lenovo support says, but who knows, maybe with some custom ROMS it is possible.
*any battery issue or charging issue ??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are no battery troubles, the battery graph is even.
*can I make video call over mobile network ??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think it is possible on every smartphone over special soft, such as viber.
*how is dual sim standby ?? - both sim is 4g or "1sim is 4g & 2sim is 2g ".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Both sim heve 4g support, but you can use only one at a time in 4g mode.
*mobile network issues...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No network issues( I use custom ROM). There used to be with COS, but I think they fixed it.
*it have heating issue ??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Only while playing 3d games, but it's not so hot to make usage uncomfortable.
*tell about performance ??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The system is smooth, assassin's creed is laggy a bit(about 20 fps)
*how is display and camera ??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The display is great, even when the sun is shining. Camera is not so good, as it could be. The app is not optimized, or the CPU is not fast enough, but letv one x500 with the same camera module, makes better photos.

I personally use zuk z1, it is faster than MI note 3 and runs smoothly with no lags.
It is a good phone @ a price of 13500 rs.

I got one a few weeks ago as a backup phone. The only issue I've had was a very weak radio signal using a single SIM. The radio signal sometime give no bars. I can possibly blame it on the carrier since I live on the penthouse if a 43 story condo and no signal repeater in the area. But I haven't had any issue with radio signal with my dual SIM Lumia 950 XL, iPonhe 6s, or iPad Pro. When i'm on ground lever, radio works fine.

Another issue I had was that the unit gets reall warm, borderline hot when i'm video chat on Fb Messenger for 10-15min. Especially around the camer aprature area.

Otherwise using the latest official CM 12.1 ROM is very stable and i'm a power user but not a gamer. I have my 12.9" iPad Pro for gaming. The phone is very fluid in all respect. The battery is awesome. But it depends on what apps you allow to start up or run all day long. You have control of that..

I have recently upgrade my Zuk 1 to cm 13 nightly but after flashing recovery...I forgot to erase cache,system,and delvik cache and install the zip files included cm 13 and gapps but in-between I got an error then I go back and try to come in stock ROM that cyanogen OS 12.1but I stuck at boot loop... I think I bricked my Zuk 1(felling :crying:)Then I go into custom recovery (twrp) and connect my Zuk 1 to laptop and copy files to Zuk 1 but when I disconnect my Zuk 1 and try to install zip files , there are no files present in install zip section of custom recovery , then again I copy that zip files and again same ,no files are present there and then I came to know that when I am connected with my laptop and pasting files, I see all files (zip) in my custom recovery still connected with laptop then I tap on that files and one by one I install it using custom recovery still connected with laptop.... I think if I disconnect I will lost my all files and then I flash all zip files till reboot and I got my new ROM
I think I will face some problem with this ROM in future or I will get a bricked carrier !!:confused:

    You've mentioned wrong post; the unbrick tutorial is here: http://bbs.zuk.cn/z1/t14879/

    I've mirrored the file in AndroidFileHost: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347826528

    Yup all you need to do is the following
    1- connect your phone as mass storage, so you can have 4 unknown drivers.
    2- run the zukz1usbdrivers.exe it will install the drivers for all of them automatically.
    3- enable oem bootloader unlock in developer options.
    4- create a backup of all your daya cause you are gonna delete them in the next step.
    5- boot into bootloader using the combo buttons to get into recovery, thene choose bootloader.
    6- use this code "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go" and this is where you loose your data.
    7- after restart boot into bootloader again and use this code but ofcourse after you copy the recovery img into the fastboot folder "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot z1.twrp.2.8.7.0.By.Breadcrust-UPDATE2.img".
    It will take you into the custom recovery.
    8- in the recovery you can restore your data before installing supersu, then click install and choose the supersu update.zip.
    After installing supersu through the recovery reboot into system and u r rooted, finally.

    I finally changed the dpi from 480 to 401 and got a decent screen resolution.
