While
we’ve been hearing how Samsung’s Tizen Z1 has failed to impress Indian
audiences, a new report by BusinessKorea now reveals that the device has
received ‘higher-than-expected’ sales volume in India.
Citing
industry sources, the report states that the Tizen z1 model has been
chosen by over 100,000 customers in India from the time it was launched
here on January 14. In Bangladesh, the sales volume has reached 20,000
units since February 3.
“In
these markets, approximately seven million and 500,000 smartphones are
sold a month, respectively. Although the Samsung Z1’s market share
stands at around 1 percent now, the records are higher than expected
given that it runs on a minor operating system,” further adds the
report.
Recently,
there have been reports on how Samsung has been losing grip in the
Indian market. The company has now launched several phones at the Forum
2015. Samsung is hoping the Z1 will catch on in the world’s
third-largest smartphone market, boosting its flagging global market
share and gaining a foothold for Tizen among India’s first-time
smartphone buyers.
The
Samsung Z1 Tizen sport a 4-inch 480×800 pixel display, and comes
powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Spreadtrum SC7727S processor paired with
512MB of RAM. It supports 3G, dual SIM capabilities, GPS/A-GPS, GLONASS
and 802.11n Wi-Fi, and runs Tizen v2.3 out of the box.
