But if Samsung will this time to the end, it appears that customers in India might be able to get your hands on a smartphone low-cost , running Tizen in the month of January.
As reported SamMobile, the Indian phone seller Manish Khatri has posted a series of photos and other details that seem to have been gleaned at an event organized by Samsung. They describe the new smartphone as Samsung Z1, which seems to be an entry-level device that Samsung Z , the company unveiled this summer before putting it on hold indefinitely.
A low-cost model for the launch of the platform?
The Samsung Z1 is said to have a PLS TFT screen of 4 inches with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 768 MB RAM, 4GB of internal storage expandable a micro-SD card slot up to 32GB, a battery of 1500 mAh, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. For the photo, it will do with a fixed focus camera of 3 megapixels.
It would be a dual SIM smartphone that runs so Tizen 2.3 as operating system.
The smartphone will be in competition with other smartphones low-cost India, among which are the models running the operating system OS Mozilla Firefox, as well as Android smartphones cheap. Many smartphone manufacturers offer Android smartphones One, which have the particularity to receive software support from Google. Finally, Micromax has recently launched brand Yu smartphones, powered by Cyanogen OS, a custom version of Google Android.
In other words, despite Samsung's recognition in the world, it may be difficult for a new platform to compete with established players . But, judging by the hardware of the Samsung Z1, it seems that Samsung hopes his Tizen smartphone happen to dislodge the entry-level models. This could help the company get a foot in the industry, and gain some market share before developing a more robust ecosystem of third party applications. For now, it seems that Tizen smartphones will be sold with a Samsung App Store, and Nokia HERE Maps will include support for offline maps.
