It is obvious from the specs above that this smartphone is a budget device. This fact is also reflected in the price tag of the device. Samsung has pegged its price at Rs 5700 (about $92 or N16800). Samsung is yet to officially announce its plans for releasing this device or other Tizen smartphones in other countries. However, there are already rumors of a Tizen-running Galaxy S5-like device to be released in Russia. Similarly, there are only three color variants available as of this moment: white, black and red wine, which can be seen in the pictures above.Above all, Tiznar is working with a top retailer in India to find a way to get a few copies (10-20 copies) for our Nigerian and African readers. If you’re interested in being one of the pioneer users of a Tizen phone in Africa, please indicate your interest by sending a mail to mavizacogito@gmail.com. Stay tuned!

Lagusta:
Any news about the apps??

Well, Samsung has flung the doors of its Tizen Appstore open in order to cater for this new device. But the best news is that there is an app called a Android Compatibility Layer (ACL) that will let you run Android apps on this Tizen device without any hassles. Will give you more info on that later.
