Tizen phone launch fails to happen; disappointed Tizen fans will just have to wait some more. "The one who made no promise to you must not be accused of disappointing you."- Samsung.

Reports from India have made it clear that there was no launch of the Samsung Z1 on Wednesday, Dec. 10. We had earlier published a report of an imminent launch of the first Tizen phone . However, this launch never took place. Indeed, we made frantic efforts before and on December 10 to get information about the launch , but those efforts were futile. The best response we got from many of our sources was “we don’t know”. However, we now have the full details of what happened- and didn’t happen- two days ago.
Really, the finest detail you need to hear about this episode is this: there was no launch of any phone by Samsung on Wednesday, let alone a Tizen phone.
One denial, many proofs On Thursday, Samsung was reported as saying that there wasn’t a launch because they never officially said that there would be a launch. “We also didn’t even send out invitations for the event. So we have disappointed no one.” Indeed, it’s true that the South Korea-based tech giant never made any official announcement about a launch. However, Tarun Malik, the head of Samsung’s Media Solutions Center in Southwest Asia, told the Economic Times of India in an interview in September that a Tizen phone was to be expected after October. But Samsung neither said nor did anything to contradict his words back then. Secondly, the Wall Street Journal quoted a source from one of the companies in the Tizen Association as having confirmed Mr Malik’s words. The source said that they (at their company) were also getting word about an imminent Tizen phone launch. To cap it all, Tizen Experts published shipping manifests that showed that Samsung had imported about 1.7 million dollars’ worth of phone parts. These parts were consistent with the specs of Samsung Z1 that everyone had heard of. Here are the manifests:

All of the above is now history. The present situation is that many people are disappointed. Many people indeed. And yes, Tiznar is disappointed too. We already have Tizen on smartwatches and smartcameras, but how long do we have to wait for a smartphone? Reports indicate that Samsung will still launch the phone this year- but will they? Honestly, we don’t know. But you need to read tomorrow’s editorial piece for our fine analysis and opinion on this matter. You, our esteemed reader, also need to follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook so as to be kept up to beat with the latest news about Tizen, its yet-to-be-released phones and other devices. Stay tuned!
