Samsung’s First Tizen OS Smartphone to Land in Russia in May




South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics has already confirmed plans to launch its first smartphone running under the Tizen OS sometime in the second quarter of the year, but no official release date for it has been provided as of now.

According to the latest reports on the matter, however, we might see the company making the upcoming device official in Russia in May. According to a post on tizenindonesia, the phone will also come to other markets soon after, including Brazil, and other countries where Samsung’s Bada OS has managed to get some traction. No confirmation on the matter has been provided as of now, but said news site notes that the info comes from a Samsung official, who also confirmed that the mobile phone would be a high-end device. Until Samsung makes a formal announcement on this, we should note that a company’s handset supposedly running under Tizen has made an appearance in India, where it is undergoing some testing.

As sammytoday notes, the phone has been spotted on the website of Indian import-export firm Zauba with model number SM-Z910F attached to it, and with a 4.8-inch touchscreen display. The phone is being tested in three different country versions, destined for Russia, the UK and France, it seems. However, despite its possible limited initial availability, the handset might arrive in more markets soon after.

Samsung SM-G906S Spotted Online Again, Could Be Galaxy S5 Prime




One of the devices that South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics might bring to the market in the not-too-distant future is a premium version of the Galaxy S5, and the device appears to have emerged online once again.

A certain Samsung SM-G906S has been spotted in official Samsung documents for the Find My Mobile service, where it is listed among the devices supported in the service, despite the fact that Samsung hasn’t made it official as of now. Previously, the mobile phone was spotted in benchmarks with a 2K (2560 x 1440 pixels) touchscreen display, which suggested that this might indeed be the premium device model that enthusiasts were looking for, as SamMobile notes. Supposedly called Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime, the device is now said to be launched sometime in June with an aluminum body and a possible 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor packed inside, paired with 3GB of RAM.

The smartphone is also said to feature a 5.2-inch screen, 32GB of internal memory, and a 16-megapixel or better camera on the back. No official confirmation on the matter has been provided as of now, and Samsung even took its time to deny any plans for a premium version of Galaxy S5, but it seems that a formal announcement could be made sooner rather than later, so stay tuned for specifics on the matter.
