Tizen Delays Release of Samsung Z Smartphone

 

All these new phones arrrggghhh!!!... Got a brother confused. The Samsung Z is the Korean company's first smartphone to be powered by Tizen software, There may be no Android, but Samsung's Z phone running its in-house Tizen operating system looks enough like the Galaxy S5's custom interface to easily get around. Tizen has been passed around the technology industry for years as various companies try to develop a rival to Google's Android software, which currently powers Samsung's hugely successful line of Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
 That means Samsung is reliant on Google, and also means the money Galaxy owners spend on apps is funnelled to Google rather than into Samsung's pocket. By developing its own software, Samsung wants to break that reliance and see some app money for itself.
Samsung also sees Tizen as a bigger proposition than smartphones and tablets. Tizen already powers Samsung cameras, Samsung TVs, and wearable technology such as the Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch. Like Android, which is branching out to cars and wearables, Tizen could power all kinds of connected devices.
Eventually, anyway. Samsung seems to be having problems with the long, long-awaited Tizen smartphone. The Samsung Z was shown off for the first time in San Francisco earlier this year, and was expected to make its full debut this week at a conference for Tizen developers in Moscow. Sadly, for long-suffering developers attending the event, all Samsung came up with were more prototypes.

DESCRIPTION:

Under the Samsung Z's 4.8-inch 720p S-AMOLED display, a 2.3GHz quad-core CPU with 2GB RAM, presumably a Snapdragon 800, runs the house. There is LTE Cat 4 (150/50Mbps) support on-board. Other specs include a pair of 8MP and 2.1MP rear and front cameras, a fingerprint sensor, 16GB of internal storage, and a 2600mAh battery. The smartphone is sized 5.44 x 2.74 x 0.33 inches (138.2 x 69.8 x 8.5mm) and weights 4.8 oz (136g). The operating system is Tizen OS 2.2.1, which packs familiar Samsung functionality, such as Download Booster and S Health 3.0.

How To Quickly Search For Anyone / Anything Stored On Your BlackBerry 10 Smartphone.

 

Yes i'm a BlackBerry lover and Owner :D . I was jumping about the knowledge zone and found this trick off a site. From the picture I used one of the least apps we blackberry users make ado with "the universal search app" to track down a particular friend of mine somewhere off my phone and viola, just the search I wanted to find popped up on the search list, that's actually in my words but this is what the blogger said:

"From the universal search, users can perform many tasks without actually opening their respective apps. Eg Typing "tweet" immediately brings an option to create and send a tweet from the search app. While typing "Facebook" enables users update their status' without going to Facebook. I've compiled a list of available shortcuts and their functions below, enjoy.

"Tweet" : immediately starts creating a tweet which can be sent from there.

"BBM 'contact name' ": opens/starts a chat with the particular bbm contact.

"Call 'contact name' ": places a call the the selected contact.

"Text 'contact name' ": creates a draft with the selected contact as a recipient.

"Diary ", "Note" or "List" : starts creating a note for you to fill and save without leaving the search app.

"Email 'contact'" : creates a draft with the selected contact as a recipient.

"Facebook " : starts creating a post for you to upload to Facebook.

"Google 'string'" : Searches for your string on Google.com

"Help" : lunches the help app.

"Map 'location" : Opens the location in maps app.

"Play 'music file'" : starts playing the selected song, album or Playlists".

I almost felt like the phone was actually built for my use B) thanks to @stan_hanks I would not search aimlessly with stress. More tips and tricks could be seen here "talking to the BB10 users".
