Samsung has officially announced their first Tizen based smartphone with the Samsung Z. Featuring the same artificial leather backside as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 it stands apart from other Samsung Galaxy devices with rather sharp corners compared to the much rounder design on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Tech specs and features for the Samsung Z include a 2.3GHZ quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage with up to 64GB microSD, 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, 8MP rear camera and 2.1MP front camera.
Other notable features include 150Mbps 4G LTE support, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, WiFi, an IR remote, a fingerprint sensor and heart rate monitor. The device weighs in at 136g and is rather thick at 8.5mm. The smartphone will get it's apps from the Tizen Store but it can also run converted Android apps as well. The Samsung Z is set to appear at the Tizen Developer Conference today and will be coming to Russia in Q3 2014. No news on Malaysia pricing or Malaysia release dates yet but we expect it to come in late Q3 or early Q4 of 2014.
