Samsung has finally begun pushing out its Tizen operating system for smartphones this year, which started with the launch of the Z1 in India a few weeks ago. Despite indications that the Z1 was off to a slow start, Samsung is confident enough in Tizen’s progress to launch the Z1 in a second country – Bangladesh.
Camera
The Samsung Z1 includes a basic imaging hardware comprising of a 3.1 MP primary snapper and a VGA front facing selfie snapper onboard. The primary snapper has features such as Dream Shot, Auto Face Detect and others. Of course, the photography aspects on other smartphones in the entry level segment are better in terms of resolution and capabilities.
Design
The phone measures 120.4 mm long, 63.2 mm wide and 9.7 mm depth, which is very handy and gives a nice grip with rounded edges. It weighs around 112 grams. Edges are made of plastic but have nice metallic look which make this device pretty premium. Back cover is thin but of good quality plastic.
Processor, RAM and Memory
Samsung Z1 comes with Tizen 2.3 OS which is Samsung’s own operating system. As per what has been heard, Tizen OS will provide better performance, good web browsing experience and impressive battery life. Samsung Z1 is provided with 768MB RAM. I think that 1GB RAM would have made Samsung Z1 a really good low budget smartphone. It comes with internal memory of 4GB. With Z1 you’ll be also able to get external memory up to 64GB.
Battery
Samsung has given this device a 1,500 mAh battery and according to the company it will offer 8 hours of talk-time and 7 hours of non-stop video. There’s also the Ultra Power Saving Mode, which Samsung says will let the phone function even in minimal battery levels.
Samsun Z1 price – Tizen phone
The manufacturing of Tizen Z1 is going on Noida branch of Samsung and will come in market very soon. Till then you can book it from online sellers. The price of this Smartphone is about around 4800-to-5400 IRN that is approx. $90 USD.
