Samsung breaks from Android with its first Tizen phone


Samsung has been teasing a Tizen-based prototype phones for quite awhile now, but it has finally launched an honest-to-God smartphone with the OS: the Samsung Z. Yes, there's no Galaxy in front of that "Z." Tizen is Samsung's attempt at a homegrown OS (first featured on its Galaxy Gear smartwatch), though it developed the software jointly with Intel. The Samsung Z will feature a 720P HD, AMOLED display with a quad-core CPU (from Intel we presume) with 2GB RAM, 16GB memory, an 8GB camera, a heartrate sensor and fingerprint scanner. Expect to see the same design language featured in its Android-based Galaxy S devices, especially in the app drawer, notification tray and homescreen widgets. Samsung will show off the phone on June 3rd at its Tizen developer conference on June 3rd in San Francisco -- we should have our hands on it then.
