Samsung Z - User Reviews

  • you are right. the z3 now support only share it, mx player, flipcart, angry bird, and 3 or 4 other android apps via n emmulator named acl. u cant flash his phone to android or ios.

  • z is better. it support many apps. i am using z 3. it has many problem. the z can be upgrade to 2.4 os. u do not buy z3

  • Is samsung z a better phone or samsung Z3 cuz I found that z3 has tizen software 2.4 which is more than that in z (tizen 2.2.1) and also it has my galaxy apps and mix radio...? can anyone please suggest which is a better choice?? i am really confused.. Thanks!!

  • yes all andriod apps works on this phone. new operating system that is much better

  • its a good phone and work with a new OS .. its better then Android because this OS is Linux based and support as well as iOS. over all its a great phone,

  • yes all apps can run on this phone ,,,s5 is another series and z is other

  • Do you even know Tizen? It is the fourth largest mobile platform in the world now. Bigger than BB OS. Abandon support from other company? What support? Other company never support it in the beginning anyway. It's a Tizen smartphone. An in-house software and device by Samsung. No need for support from outside company like Google or whatsoever. There is already three Z series from Samsung and two Tizen smartwatches. Samsung Z, Samsung Z1 and Samsung Z3. Samsung Gear S and Gear S2. The app store is admittedly small. It is very new. The first Tizen was released only late last year. Android and IOS didn't grow in a year either. It took android over 8 years to become as big as it is now. Remember the first android smartphone, HTC Dream? That didn't go well either. Everybody thought it will flop. Look at where android stands now.

  • does this "Z" series have the ability to run all the apps like other samsung models of android? i have heard that this doesn't support all of them and the tizen store has a very limited track...?? is it so? can anyone please tell..

  • hey guys is there any model called z5 in galaxy....

  • Samsung z ms-910F

  • This phone don't exist anymore. It had been cancelled. This is the first of Samsung Z series. Samsung Z1 is the second and the third device is Samsung Z3. Samsung Z3 will be released soon. It happened to the J series too. Look for the first Galaxy J. It is flagship specs but never released to public.

  • plzz guyss tell the realise date in india

  • It was cancelled, never released.

  • This is a Tizen OS flagship. It have premium pleather(plastic leather) back material. Comes with heart rate monitor beside the flash. Hd 4.8 inch Super Amoled display. Also have fingerprint sensor. Can support android apps using ACL technology.

  • does it support watsap and other apps

  • nice phone galaxy z

  • nice phone galaxy z

  • tizen is operating system like android and it is not android

  • Samsung zi

  • Tizen is linux based platform, qt language is used in it, and qt is derived from c++, tizen as like nokia n900 maemo, nokia n950 and nokia n9.

  • what is tizen os

  • Boss Its good phone

  • MC this is Tizen OS not Android.

  • very good

  • but is new softwear ad expenciv

  • Does this phone supports all android apps and software???

  • wow total copy of LG optimus models from 2012 but Sammy needed 2 years to make the same design i'm impressed

  • i totally agree with you

  • They will not understand, the power of linux, they want easy world, only developers can understand and love these type of phones, like nokia n9, n900, n950, jolla, and now tizen.

  • As if u have used it. For Christ's sake pls stop commenting rubbish about the phone and os. None of you have used it so stop speaking rubbish. It's a new OS. Samsung is trying to make it better. It's still in beta phase like SAILFISH OS on JOLLA. So at least be positive and yeah Windows phone,IOS and Android are older OSes. And before you call me a fan boy,I would like to clear that no one hates Samsung as much as me but this is a nice try they are taking. At last some risks taken after playing safe for 5 years by Samsung

  • release date in malaysia???

  • Look for a phone with a better camera then

  • what is Samsung waiting for? they Should starts seeding this 0s to more OF thier phones . It looks SO ready for daily usage. So Sad that Sammy dont Wanna See the true benefits OF this operating system !

  • mobile is very nic

  • it looked like an lg optimus l7 p700

  • where can i extend Samsung Z in dubai

  • Wmx

  • Nobuddy if u have lg device it not means u will tell that others were wadte of time...

  • Can't wait for this. Hopefully it will be priced around $100. Atleast we don't need to wait for too long for samsung to give us the update for the OS because it's in-house OS. Unlike android. It takes them forever to give updates to all devices.

  • It's a set for samsung that can beat every android set because it's has operating system of tizen..and I like this set of samsung. ..

  • Its a copy of LG LTE-2 f160. So this proves LG is now moving upward in the market even Samsung is copying it.

  • Tizen OS is the new Operating System of SAMSUNG that will replace in the future Android OS installed on their product. Tizen is linux based (like android),and it is able to run converted android Html5 mobile apps... Tizen OS use Qt/c++ for building its apps.

  • what is tizen os??

  • it's the other way round!

  • This is not a tryout for samsung to do a sony Z model ..... this is a Tezen OS model .... Noobs !!!!

  • nice set

  • lol

  • Very cool looks good one from samsung!

  • xperia Z wannabe!

  • samsung can never compete against sony

  • When will it be officially launch?

  • Cool, looks like SONY

  • samsung aims to have its own os and so tizen is it. But tizen store is still under construction

  • will it be as gud as anroid?????? if its gonna supprt evrythng tat anrod does thn surly it vl be awsom

  • Looks very good,but specs (,camera)!!. :/

  • When samsung z release???

  • here it com finalyyyyyyyyyyy.........!!!!!! SONY XPERIA GALAXY Z yeah another copy from samsung

  • I hope this smartphone soon enter into indo, so many smartphones were sold, but I see my choice samsung z

  • woooooooooooooooooh..... looks like LG... :D bttr to call OPTIMUS Z!!! :D

  • When is Samsung gonna release this phone? Not to mention will they ever release it? I already own a iPhone 4s(iOS), Nexus 4(Android), BlackBerry Z10(BlackBerry 10) and Lumia 925(Windows Phone 8), now my hand is aching to own this, Samsung faster release it!

  • Google pulled the plug on this Samsung adventure.

  • i think this new release of the sammy z is quit an awesome ph'

  • when exactly are u going 2 release dis fone, samsung?

  • R u crazy android is Laggy and hangs a lot and also it heats up with ton of problems TIZEN IS simple so better and more better than android

  • Not even close..

  • It has opera

  • looks like Sony Experia Phone.

  • good look but tizen os isn't to compete with android.

  • This was amezing phone. and look is so prety and oficial... zakkas yaar

  • samsung mo you my choice and good mobail

  • lol copy cat samsung copied mi3 this time

  • All Samsung phones r look like same...even people cant recognise the name of the phone..bcoz all r same...I hv a galaxy core..and people often ask me "is this sduos"...I cant understand why Samsung make same design again again...atleast they should give some attractive looks to their high end phones

  • LG Prada 3, LG Optimus L9, L5, L7

  • i like the design looks like LG optimus phones

  • You are talking like a child. Every smart phone is already rectangle. Rectangle does not belong to any special company.

  • this is the Design....if Samsung keep more future in this smart Design it will be O.K....people git Boring from oid thinge try new

  • sony gives u money 2 say that ?

  • I'm right with you buddy. Just because a phone has a rectangular shape/edges and coincidently named "Z", doesn't mean it has copied another phone! Look at the leather-back and the different OS. Wake up

  • It doesn't eeven look like Xperia.

  • Though apple and sony use samsung parts and do invent new things. Just because it is cut off like a Sony Z1, Look back to Samsung S2 and sharpen the edging. Would you then say samsung has copied or renovated the s2 to the new samsung "z" with a note 3 backing?? Or would you say, Samsung 1 was copied by apple with the same shaping of iphone 3 ? LOL

  • Is Tizen maybe closer to Firefox os than Android?

  • Hey...Smasung lovers...just watch...Samsung only know to copy...don't know to invent...hahaha! So here...Sony...win...they made Xperia Z and Samsung copied that...oh! Poor Samsung!!

  • sony xperia ray ??

  • Looks like omnibalance design from sony upfront and with the z of the z series of xperia lol samsung.. Like how theyre copying iphone design on galaxy F

  • top specification, good phone,

  • It is an imitation of LG design

  • tizen os are new smartOS ..mostly used in smartwatch like galaxy gear2..

  • lol .. squared type phone are not owned by nokia.. so any manufacturer are free to make any shape.. even triangle lol..

  • trivia.. tizen os used in galaxy gear 2 smartwatch..

  • Tizen OS

  • This design looks very good (Samsung Galaxy s5 design is...too boring!!),but this looks premium: -WAKE UP Samsung!!!.

  • who knows the TIZEN os?? can anyone give some preview for that??

  • what os is this

  • is it a copy from sony?!

  • Nice samsung z smatt phone

  • Yes

  • Forbes calls Samsung Z a beast !!

  • nice mibile . glemrous look .... price so high ...

  • this phone is almost my dream phone. i've always wondered why do we need higher than 720p displays in smartphones and why the 16 mega pixel camera. only if camera was with OIS( but still 8mp), a slightly larger battery, 3gb of ram, and i don't know how but a stylus like an s pen it would have become the perfect phone in my opinion. i think the price will also be amazing, hopefully.

  • great phone

  • i watched the video on you ube. hats off. wow amazing new look & guess thiss is new

  • Best name in ages, not super complicated.

  • Nice smart phone

  • Year 2014 for Samsung the best & powerful Smartphone and Tablets

  • Why?

  • Tizen looks very similar to Android. I think that Samsung will have no problems if starts focusing on this OS.

  • The design is best....bt it is just copy of BlackBerry z3.....!!!! Bt overall its UI is lkng too gooood

  • The design is much closer to LG's L-series.not to the highly praised Xperia Z. Duh

  • Purchase = Go fate Bada

  • hey here they again after a big flop of bada, personally i have faced bada and i just gave it off for one of my friend here again hope they wont do a mistake again like bada wave series.

  • Not samsung Z, but samsung Xperia Z, LOL

  • Finally Samsung come out of android and make their own software based tizen!

  • Clearly a tester phone to gauge the reaction of consumers.

  • camera not good

  • The design is redundant

  • it's grate phone i hope tazen OS is most powerful than andriod ............uncommon

  • Ugly phone. Samsung should fire the whole team of design for making the same / copying design.

  • i hope samsung tizen os is grate than andriod now andriod market is comeing lower

  • Where do they get their ugly designs from, carp men, SAMSUNG! STOP MAKING GREAT AND FANTSATIC HIGH SPECED POWERFUL PHONES with UGLY designs. You're selling yourself short. Just finish your products properly and your sales would skyrocket arrrrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!

  • Is tizen os a badass As android?

  • Where is Samsung camera (dual LED flash)???. =(

  • This looks near identical to an LG device.

  • what a prize for Samsung Z handset ? plz update ths information

  • Look extremely similar to my Xiaomi Mi3..lol

  • Let it run Android Apps and it will be the best phone ever

  • Hahaha. Come on! Modeled it Z and put accent on the corners just like the original Sony Xperia Z? Geez. You just added the plastic leather look at the back and the 3rd physical button to call the design your own. Soo corny. What's with your design and marketing department?

  • Yes...! SAMSUNG must take a lesson from HUAWEI ascend p7 for design the GALAXY S5 PRIME.. People not care origin of design as copied or own... They want only a great looking smartphone...

  • It should be a cheap one.. as a reason of Coming With SAMSUNG's own os.. But design is not so attractive yet ... The back design is the biggest error.. They must move camera to up corner of back... Acsend P7 has given a lesson to SAMSUNG about how to designing a attractive phone... people not care about copied or own design... they only want a good design... thanks guys..

  • No way... Samsung didn't leave Symbion and Bada when Android came and became dominant...

  • This is almost the same as the LG Optimus L7 or the L9.I actually see the LG Optimus l7 but with samsung logo.

  • I think in the future because tizen is own by samsung

  • external appearance design look like LG...

  • Hmm... Tizen looks interesting. Question: Is Samsung leaving Android?

  • Well... so much time waiting for this? No FM Radio? YES.. doesn't have one, also this design? no brains at samesung to design something unique to their own flagship? that is disappointing, there's no passion on this phone, at least this facilitated my decision to buy a BB Z30, the only phone existent by Samsung that I will be proud of is the Samsung Wave, at that time it was a beast . Here is a video review from the actual phone, for me... it was disappointing discovering that it didn't have FM radio, only Tunein app for internet radio that for me is crap

  • it's like z and name also same

  • It look like a phone haha

  • Good start in Tizen! Specs are strong enough. Now the price may compete with Moto G or E.

  • LG Optimus L7 (P705) LOL!!!!!!!!!

  • It looks like an Optimus "L" Series..!!

  • Looks like LG Name like SONY

  • wtf? its z :o

  • is this phone copying sony Xperia Z???? such a copycat..no wonder got sued by Apple

  • any pridiction for price

  • Tizen OS, v2.2.1 what kind of software and is this better than 4.4.2 kitkat

  • Samsung♥ always surprise! iPhone 6 really surprised you SZ!

  • LG and sony...

  • I want to buy Tizen as I don't get WP from Samsung PK yet. Because I love to use Samsung mobile handsets...

  • How can you assume that? There's no proof about that

  • lg l7 or l9?

  • sony song !

  • cheers for a decent answer

  • beautiful phone.

  • very true. But how if tables turnover and tizen supporting android as well having both compatibility with android and tizen? I feel and believe it can be a great power hit beat combo to the world including apple.

  • same sung for sam sung

  • The Samsung Z--mobile is the best smart phone--that's Camera quality & picture is osswam---

  • What apple? You dont know what you talking about. IOS and android pal.

  • This is z3

  • It looks identical to the first generation of LG L series.

  • New operating system with its death certification on board ! Same as the bada os !

  • This totally isn't like the Sony Xperia Z series' design...

  • Two top dogs Android and Apple there's no way Tizen can beat them.

  • again samesung :p

  • I was critizing LG about that they copying design and menus of Samsung but. But... But... WHAT THE FUnCK IS THIS? Uglier than LG's first L series, ohhh my sh!t... You need to burry to hell your designer, so he/she can never back to our pretty world again. This, this, this is even frkn worser than N-Gage, no no no even terribler than Siemens Xelibri phones. We are at the point where comes silence... Sorry I need to spew up.

  • This is a shameless copy of the Sony xperia series. Looks like Samsung wants a blow from Sony also.

  • Seems like tizen is power hungry

  • Not Even Comparable to Sony Xperia Z :D

  • copy of LG L9 ;(

  • Expected a lot about design but copied from lg nokia should changee the design and screen size much more to improve

  • Will whatsapp be supported on tizen os?

  • How ironic for Samsung to attempt in such an obvious rectangular design that ends with the Z series. Does this remind you of some company that has had a rectangular design with the Z series for a couple of years.

  • Tizen or TaRZAN Its fail

  • Copysong is here :-)

  • Tizen? What kind of OS is that?

  • I'm sorry guys have you been smoking or something? This looks awful, It's by far the ugliest and worst-designed Samsung phone, way worse than the S5. It's bezeled as fuck and doesn't provide any resistance to water or dust. It's as large as G2, only that G2 offers 5.2" 1080p display instead of 720p 4.8". It is a noticable difference. I will take this as first attempt to make a Tizen phone, otherwise Samsung really needs to reconsider what they are doing.

  • What LG Style you talking about ? it's Sony Xperia Style!

  • I'm always nervous about even looking at a new Smartphone OS introduced by Samsung- remember what happened to Bada OS?

  • samsung will lose money by switching from android os to tizen os....Shame..

  • Samesung copied the shape of Sony phones (As Sony popularized the rectangular design) and after copying the design, it turns out an imitation of LG phones and they will call it NEW design and INNOVATION.

  • Yep I agree, as soon as I saw this phone it reminded me of the LG L9.

  • LOL....... King copy paste!!! Their copy sony design and name. Poor shamesung

  • poor samsung they stole lg's design

  • no tizen isn' as powerhungry as android that's the reason why the galaxy gear (1st generation) bumped from android to tizen and it's more fluid

  • This is so ugly...:(

  • If this releases for all countries, and affordable price, good. Users will have option to choose (try) Tizen if they feel Android is not good.

  • ­ O.o

  • it is looking like an xperia :p

  • Tizen OS is somewhat like Android OS only but its easy to use even from Android OS.

  • its amazing... but its a unknown OS.

  • can anyone tell us what tizen os is like? is it power hungry like android. or will the specs be faster with better performing os like wp or ios? is 2600mAh enough? etc, etc...

  • yes it looks like lg

  • the design is much better than Galaxy S5.

  • r ur eyes painted on? the camera is on the opposite side

  • Samsung Z pretty much have the same design as Sony Xperia Acro S. Its camera are centered, a rectangular shape, the side by side back curvature and large up-bottom bezels.

  • Oh, it's just like LG Optimus L5. I smell lawsuit.

  • A new design! Ah well, new... Sony copy. But it looks much better than any samsung from the last years.

  • it is like a sony xperia z copy, but not made of aluminum or framed glass. great phone

  • nice 1

  • it looks like lg prada 3!!!

  • yes it looks like lg

  • seems Quit interesting

  • the new bada os

  • looks like lg to me
