Samsung Z1 Tizen handset gets delayed, but still coming soon to India

The Samsung Z1 smartphone which will be the company’s first handset based on its home-brewed Tizen OS, was expected to go official on December 10 and obviously that hasn’t happened. The reason for this has been attributed to a small delay and we’re still anticipating seeing the device reach India in the coming days.

The previous launch date was based on insider information and there’s was no official confirmation that the Samsung Z1 would be reaching India on December 10. Tizen Experts is reporting based on information provided by people ‘close to the situation’ that the smartphone should see a release soon.
