South Africa will be one of a select few countries to receive Samsung’s new Tizen smartphones later this year.
The first handest to arrive will be Samsung’s Z2, making it the first Tizen phone to release with 4G support.
The phone is also rumored to have around 1GB RAM and an AMOLED display, and is targeted at developing markets across thew world.
So why Tizen instead of Android? There have been rumours for a while that Samsung might be backing Tizen as a long-term successor to Android.
Tizen is in many ways similar to Android. Built from the same, open-source model, it is clearly hoping to be considered an option for manufacturers who don’t want to get involved with Google, for whatever reason.
Tizen is very much like Android. It will have the same basis in a secure, stable operating system that is trusted by millions all over the world.
It will also be able to run Android apps out of the box.
