However, according to the Reuters news agency and other media reported that this Tizen phone in India suffered waves of negative comments, consumers have derided the hardware configuration for the level of five years ago, alleged that the phones in India market is not competitive and cheap Android phone.

Hardware configuration, poor

In accordance with the plans, Tizen and Z1 are the operating system aimed at the low-end market, with mining shares in emerging markets, to change Samsung in the global mobile phone market share rapidly declining situation.

For Z1, however, from the initial evaluation of the mobile phone, Samsung India low-end market gets a foothold, it is very difficult. It is reported that India a total of 280 cell phone brand to compete, while Samsung Electronics currently is in the lead, but its market share is India own Micromax company, glory and millet, from China’s Huawei, Lenovo, Motorola, will remain intact.

Criticized by outsiders for Z1, Samsung Electronics said in a statement, the phone also has other advantages, such as simple and easy to use user interface, longer battery life and Tizen fast page load of the system.

Application vulnerability

After the Z1 and Samsung said Tizen downloads are available for 1000 apps in the app store, including the popular social network Facebook. However compared with Google Play store, this software less than a fraction.

Samsung said Tizen systems from mobile phones of the future extension to the smart watch and smart TV, future developers will be encouraged to introduce more Tizen software.

Zhiqian, Samsung mobile 500 software engineers of the Department, was transferred to the Internet of things and other departments. Many analysts judged, Samsung has lost faith in the Tizen, are no longer willing to put more effort on the project.

Software is Samsung Electronics ‘ weakness. Android and iOS environment of any Samsung didn’t come up, a bit in the global visibility of application software, but in the past a lot of software and services. Latest shut down was Mobile phone chat ChatOn.
