ZMI Z1 travel assistant: phone, powerbank & translator


A:ZMI Z1: more than just a phone
The ZMI Z1 travel assistant looks first and foremost like what it actually is: a mobile phone. And here we’re deliberately not talking about a smartphone, but about a mobile phone with a permanently integrated keypad. That’s why th e Z1 quickly reminds us of the Nokias and Sony Ericssons of the pre-Smartphone era.

B:One striking difference: the display is larger. This is a 2.8 inch LC colour display. With a length of 133.5 mm in height and 14.5 mm it is smaller and thicker than today’s smartphones, but the difference isn’t that big. On the left side there is a Hybrid-SIM slot, which offers space for a Nano-SIM card and a microSD card/Nano-SIM card. The fact that this is a modern product can be recognized by the USB type C slot on the bottom. On the back we also find a 2 megapixel camera and a speaker.

C:Powerbank – phone – translator
Not so exciting is the hardware inside. Qualcomm’s MSM8905 processor is only designed to meet the minimum requirements and provide LTE support. In addition, there is 512 MB RAM and 4 GB internal memory. The latter, however, can be expanded by 32 GB via microSD card. The battery capacity measures 5,000 mAh and that doesn’t sound like that much by now, but if you consider how energy-saving the ZMI Z1 might be due to the “weak” components, it’s very decent. That’s why the

D:It also serves as a router or HotSpot. It can even be quickly activated with a button on the side. A total of eleven devices can connect to the HotSpot. The ZMI Z1 Travel Assistant supports the LTE bands 1/3/5/7/8/38/39/40/41. In total, the travel assistant should be able to provide mobile Internet in 56 countries. GPS is also integrated.

E:The challenge when travelling, especially to exotic countries, is the language. Xiaomi is well aware of that, so they implement an intelligent translator again. The capabilities of this AI translator should be comparable to those of the Xiaomi Moyu AI Translator, which we have already tested. There are 14 languages pre-installed. 


Our opinion
I think the idea of the ZMI Z1 is pretty cool, if you like to travel a lot ,you can get problems with the language and the internet faster.
