The Samsung Z1 with Tizen could come December 10
Delayed and sometimes it seems that Samsung can finally decide to take the plunge with Tizen on smartphones, and remember who gave it to smartwatches this summer. From Indonesia now comes the information that the South Korean company will launch the device in India next December 10th. Samsung seems to have finally decided to start with Tizen platform smartphones. After passing through its range of smartwatches Gear 2, continued delays have been delaying the arrival of the first terminal with OS of Samsung, which has cast doubt until its release.
In the process of reorganizing business and a 2015 in which the company will launch fewer end, it seems that Tizen will remain one of the bets, at least in the low range and maybe just for emerging countries. And since Tizen Indonesia has already given a date for the arrival of Samsung Z1, we have also seen in video and Z9005, the first smartphone with Tizen, on 10 December in India.
This terminal, which would already have version 2.3 of Tizen – you can see a test video with Tizen 2.1 Galaxy S3 we make exclusively – would offer at a price very content with specifications consistent with this where we would see a screen 4 inches with WVGA resolution, dual-core processor at 1.2 Ghz Spreadtrum SC7727S with Mali 400 GPU, 512MB of RAM and 3.2 MP camera at the back and VGA front. Would complete their options the ability to double-SIM, 3G connectivity, WiFi n, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM radio . Passed by the FCC in October, so that the terminal is ready to go and just need to give it a push.
However, the huge anticipation of Tizen might play against, especially by discontent from developers. Initially, Samsung promised that they would have a shelf for months, that no mistake, pointing to the Asian market one of the juiciest. However, ongoing continuing delays may have done that while yes that have received attention Gear 2, is neither expected nor has worked to provide a powerful Tizen proposal in terms of availability of apps. And this is key to the success of an operating system, you just have to see the efforts being made by Microsoft to reduce the difference between Windows Phone, iOS and Android, and how much it is costing you.

Samsung Z1 with OS Tizen 2 3 in video
Samsung Z1 with OS Tizen 2.3, announced a couple of weeks ago in India, is shown in a video showing a high overall speed considered well the cheap hardware.
Tizen 2.3 can perhaps be considered the secret weapon of Samsung in the panorama of the operating systems, a way to break away from Google with its Android and shown to the general public that the Korean company can do even more than that to build smartphone software, tablet and everything else in the panorama of the hi-tech.
The new smartphone Samsung Z1 thanks to a video showing how this release of Tizen is quite smooth and has no problem to run on devices with hardware cost, with potential performance is not particularly high, aimed at users that link most of the sale price that high technology.
The Samsung Z1 uses in fact a dual core processor running at maximum frequency of 1.2 GHz, has 768 MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory (expandable) and a 4-inch diagonal with resolution 800 x 480 pixels, and despite this by optimizing software Tizen 2.3, as you can see yourself in the video at the bottom item, will remain virtually always fluid, a rarity for devices with similar hardware features.
Strong point of Tizen seems to be even browsing the web with stock browser, which is always very fluid on Samsung Z1 even when we carry scrolls fast, zoom on web pages; this performance on Android hardly see them on smartphones with dual core processors, but only on mid-range device with quad core processors and 1-2GB of RAM.
Another advantage of Tizen is to be able to install Android applications using a specific tool (you can read our previous article here), so that even if the official app store for the new operating system will not be very big, users can use the same their favorite applications by installing them via APK file.
All these software optimizations and performance of Tizen, some experts point out that Samsung is also working to optimize and speed up the TouchWiz interface that will be implemented on the next flagship smartphone Galaxy S6, to obtain performance results similar to those of the Roma stock android, lighter than custom.
We do not know if smartphones Tizen will head for short, in Europe; Samsung Z1 definitely is the first smartphone on the market but it is said that in the future does not come out the other, perhaps with hardware specifications that are better adapted to the European market.
