What more do you want?

    The cameras are not the best and the software is much worse than the rest in the market.

    I am happy only because it was quite cheap but I will definitely change it after one year's use.

None of the other vendors on JD have worldwide shipping last I checked. Google Translate to read comments and descriptions. JD is like Amazon in China.

So the global version there... moreI would avoid the "global" ROM unless you are comfortable flashing that model to the OEM Chinese/English version. Seems like most of the problems people face are with the global and not the Chinese/English version. A number of resellers are flashing their own hacked/customized "global" and that means you are relying on the reseller "expertise" rather than Lenovo tech. A lot of electronic devices get that "treatment" when the stock versions are already optimized. The Z6 Pro is primarily a China market phone and most of the effort the company is making is toward there.

So the global version there's no idea if the reported bugs are fixed or not. I have the chance to buy one but it would be the global version . And for this version there are mixed reviews ... It sure looks like a great device and I'm willing to change for my one plus 5tbfor a change .
          But I like stability and that's the only reason that is making me thinking twice before changing it. I can't find much info on xda....

I just had another usability update bringing the ZUI version to 11.5.222 ST. Looks like the company is enhancing the Lenovo 1 feature set for using the phone as a multiple device controller as well as addressing user bug/usability reports. If you are interested in custom ROMs I saw on XDA-developers that someone just made the first one for the Z6 Pro. Definitely a work in progress but following those technical discussions can be interesting.

                Anonymous, 02 Jan 2020Hi are you still using your z6 pro and are there any long t... moreVery happy with the Lenovo Z6 Pro and can easily recommend it after over four months of use. It is stable (I hate phones that are buggy) and snappy! Lenovo has been updating the Android/ZUI OS on the phone regularly with new features and security releases and my phone has been running Android 10 since early December. The ZUI OS overlay is actually useful and a worthwhile enhancement to stock Android. Pleasantly surprised at the phone's photo and video capabilities - with the updates, all of the cameras now use EIS and the 2.0MP one has OIS as well. My night scene photos are particularly impressive. The OEM Chinese/English ROM is the one to get even if you are buying outside of China, that is the one I have on my phone. No device is perfect but I paid $280 for this phone with a Snapdragon 855, AMOLED screen, headphone jack, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that can be expanded. The Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Samsung, One+ and Google phones I compared this Z6 Pro to cost 10 - 200 percent more but why pay that premium?

                        10basetom, 05 Oct 2019DxOMark was not too impressed with the video performance: "... moreWell DXO didn't test the night camera which has OIS. Actually in Sports Mode the night camera has both OIS+EIS.
                        Another important thing is that in the meanwhile Lenovo added EIS to the main camera too, so it's good now.
                        Cheers!

                            DxOMark was not too impressed with the video performance: "The Z6 Pro's overall score was dragged down by its weaker video capabilities, however, which are dogged by ineffective stabilization and unstable autofocus."

                            On the bright side, another source mentioned this phone has Gorilla Glass 6: "It is worthy of praise here that the front and back of the Lenovo Z6 Pro are all made of the sixth generation of Gorilla Glass, which is resistant to falling and falling."

The software updates r good but my phone lags a lot although i dont use it heavily but my lenovo k8 plus which i use heavily doesnot have the slightest lag even while playing pubg it is as smooth as butter. So I disregard your opinion.
