We’re still waiting for Samsung to release its first Tizen smartphone.
It announced the Samsung Z back in June, but we’re still not sure when
it will actually go on sale. The company planned to release it in
Russia during the third quarter, with other markets to follow sometime
after that, but now it looks like even the Russian release might be
later than planned. As a reminder, the Samsung Z has a 4.8 inch 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED
display, a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel main
camera, a 2.1 megapixel front facing one, 16GB of built in storage and
a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 64GB.

What’s really going to make or break it though is the fact that it runs
Tizen. That’s bound to be a selling point for people who want an
alternative to the established mobile operating systems, but can it
really hope to sway many people from Android and iOS? We’ll find out,
just as soon as it launches.
