The next screen wants to preload a bunch of apps on the phone, and we don’t want any of them because all are Chinese. Tap each of these apps to remove the green tick icon, then press the button at the bottom of the screen. Setup is now complete, which we presume the next screen is trying to tell us, so hit the only clickable button at the bottom of that screen. You should now be staring at the home screen.
You’ll likely be able to work out what many of the icons are by their images, but the legends are all in Chinese. Look for a cog wheel icon which represents the Settings menu, and click this. Scroll right to the bottom of the Settings menu and look at the option just above the line – it should have another cog wheel icon. This is the Advanced Settings menu – tap this. The very top option here is for Languages & Input.

Tap this, and on the next screen again choose the top option, which is Languages. You should now be presented with a list of four languages, with three in Chinese and the final option US English. Use the Move icon to the right side to drag and drop the US English option to the top of the list, then click the back button to save. Suddenly everything is English. Before exiting this screen select the Current Keyboard option and choose English US. Again click the back button to exit this menu and save your changes.
You’ll also want to change the Time & Date settings (in Settings, Advanced Settings, Date & Time), which by default will be eight hours ahead. Not only is this important to see what is the actual time, but having your device set to the wrong time can cause problems with the internet connection. Now is a good time to set up the in-display fingerprint sensor, which you can do via Settings, ‘Passcode&fingerprints and…’ We’re not sure what the final option is there, perhaps Face Unlock since Lenovo claims the Z5 Pro can also be unlocked using your face in zero light conditions.

The next hurdle is getting the Google Play store on to the phone, since they do not use Google Play services in China. On most Chinese phones that are not preloaded with Google you need to download the Google Installer APK, though here you’ll find the services are already installed but Google Play itself is not so this will not worked. Open the Settings menu again and choose the top option, where it will say ‘Not logged in’. Choose Other Account, Add Account, and select Google.
Enter your login and accept the terms and conditions. Go back to the home screen and launch the App Center. It’s going to try to install those Chinese apps again, so you’ll either need to install and then uninstall them, or again deselect them all and tap the button below to bypass the prompt. We chose the latter.
When you are looking at the main App Center screen select the bar at the top and for Google Play. When you see it in the list tap the green button to its side to install the app. Once installed you can launch Google Play and start installing the likes of Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Music and any other services you routinely use. The final step is to uninstall any Chinese apps preloaded on the Z5 Pro that you won’t use – just tap and hold the icon on the home screen, then click the X that appears and choose Uninstall. We deleted Amap, MeiTuan, Tencent s, Tencent Video, iQiyi, QQ, Weibo, Baidu, Alipay, XimalayaFM, Dianping, Sesami and some other apps we didn’t recognise.
It’s fair to say there is a lot of bloatware on this phone, but it’s also easy to remove.
