Samsung unveils Tizen OS
Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled the first device powered by its
Tizen operating system (OS)for Sri Lankan consumers, a major step in
advancing an alternative to Google Inc.'s dominant Android platform -
the Samsung Z1.
"The smartphone market in Sri Lanka is evolving rapidly, with many
consumers using the device as their screen of choice for content
including videos, television programs and video games, and a range of
apps," said Managing Director, Samsung Sri Lanka, Youngmin Shin.
"We have customisd the Samsung Z1 to meet the needs of local
consumers and provide them with a personal and reliable mobile
experience," he said.
The Samsung Z1 offers benefits for localised apps and a simple user
interface that makes mobility easier and enjoyable, even for first time
smartphone users.
Built on the lightweight Tizen platform, the Samsung Z1 delivers a
faster boot time and quick access to apps, along with an enhanced web
performance that offers users faster page loading times with decreased
data use.
The Samsung Z1 is simple and easy to use, offering faster and
smoother device performance when combined with the lighter Tizen
platform. Powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 768 MB RAM and 4 GB
internal memory expandable up to 64 GB with a microSD card, the device
features dual SIM support and delivers a seamless and user-friendly
smartphone experience.
It is equipped with a long-lasting 1,500 mAh battery for seven hours
of non-stop videos and eight hours of talk time. The battery life has
been further enhanced with the 'Ultra Power Saving Mode' which lets the
phone remain operational in important situations, even at minimal
battery levels.
