The Indian version of the Lenovo Zuk Z2 which was earlier launched in China this year, the Lenovo Z2 Plsu has been launched in India later today at a launch event in New Delhi which kicked off from 12PM in the afternoon.

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.”
