    Rumours: First Samsung Tizen (SM-Z9000) smartphone coming soon?

    Samsung's Tizen operating system promises a lot of potential for Samsung's own line of smartphones, tablets and mobile devices, but we've yet to see any Samsung Tizen smartphone make an appearance. However, this could change soon as rumours have appeared along with a possible render of the first official Samsung Tizen smartphone. According to these rumours, the smartphone could have the model number of SM-Z9000 or SM-Z9005 with the codename being Zeke or ZEQ. The picture looks somewhat generic, like a thin Samsung Galaxy S3 while the screen shows what looks like Tizen 2.1. Rumours also say that the smartphone could have tech specs which include a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor along with a 4.8-inch HD display. This smartphone could be shown at the Tizen Developer event right before the MWC Expo on 23 February 2013, but do take this rumour with a pinch of salt nevertheless.

    Rumours: First Samsung Tizen smartphone to be unveiled on 23 February 2014?

    While Samsung is rumoured to be revealing many things at the MWC Expo 2014, including the Samsung Galaxy S5, some rumours have come up that they may do a pre-MWC Expo event where they reveal their first Tizen smartphone officially. The Tizen operating system is Samsung's foray into the mobile operating system market and could help them break free of Android. There have already been some Tizen powered devices in the form of tablets but so far, no official Tizen powered Samsung smartphone has been released yet. This rumour comes due to invites from Tizen backers for an event on 23 February 2014 which is one day before the MWC Expo. The exact quote is:

    “an exclusive sneak preview of the newest Tizen devices as well as an opportunity to learn about the major milestones that the Tizen project has hit since last year’s event”

    While the quote could be referring to the more recent Tizen powered tablet, many are hoping that it could also mean a Tizen powered smartphone from Samsung. Unfortunately, it probably won't be Tizen 3.0 when the event comes around as this version has been scheduled for Q3 of 2014.
