Samsung announces the Z4, quite possibly 2017's most under-spec'd name brand phone
Samsung doesn't want Tizen as its flagship OS... yet.
As for the operating system, the phone runs Tizen 3.0 and its user interface is designed with straightforward usability as the primary goal. It makes sense not to overwhelm someone who's never used a phone before, right? Users can easily make shortcuts to features like voice commands, camera app, and other facilities by assigning physical buttons or coming up with swipe gestures. Speaking of the camera app, it offers some pleasing functionality like Auto Selfie (take photos by facial recognition) and Video Flip (capture front and rear camera views in a single video).The Samsung Z4 will be sold in select countries, beginning with India. It will be offered in black, gold, and silver colors. Alas, the price hasn't been listed. Samsung will be showing it at the Tizen Developer Conference in SF next week, too. While not a poster child for the platform, the Z4 certainly has its place in developing markets. Besides, Samsung doesn't have much interest in pushing Tizen as an OS for flagship devices if it aims to keep business relations with Google tight.
