Samsung Z3 to have a Super AMOLED display, could be a decent Tizen smartphone

After launching the Z1 and selling 1 million units of it, Samsung is now getting ready to introduce a second smartphone that runs Tizen OS. Reportedly, this new handset is called Samsung Z3 (despite the fact that a Z2 doesn't exist), and won't have the modest features of the Z1.

According to SamMobile, the Z3 will sport a 5-inch Super AMOLED display with 720 x 1280 inches (definitely superior to the 4-inch, 480 x 800 pixels screen of the Z1), being powered by a quad-core Spreadtrum SC7730S processor clocked at 1.3 GHz. The new handset should also feature dual SIM capabilities, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory, a 5 MP front-facing camera, and an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash. Weighing 140 grams and measuring 141.5 x 70 x 9.5 mm, the Z3 reportedly includes a 2600 mAh battery.

The Z3 (model number SM-Z300H) was recently imported to India for testing purposes as well as for a "partnering event", which might mean Samsung is planning to announce it at the end of July during the Indian Tizen Developer Summit.

Just like the Z1 (pictured above), the Samsung Z3 is likely going to be released in India first, though we won't be surprised to see it available in various other markets at about the same time.
