Samsung India Says Sold 1 Million Tizen-Based Z1 Smartphones Since Launch

Image
After making a poor first impression in India since its launch in January, the Samsung Z1 seems to be doing reasonably well. Samsung India Electronics on Tuesday announced that it has sold a 'record' 1 million units of the Tizen-powered smartphone in the country. The company added it managed to achieve this milestone in less than six months since the launch. Samsung Z1 is the company's first smartphone to run on its Tizen operating system. The company has previously used the operating system on its Gear smartwatches, and televisions. Samsung had first unveiled a Tizen-based smartphone in June, the Samsung Z, but never did release it in its launch market in Russia - saying it was indefinitely postponed. Some of the advantages Samsung Z1 gets using the lightweight Tizen OS is a fast boot time, quick access to apps, and fast browser performance using compression.

Xiaomi vs Micromax: A tale of two smartphone brands

Image
The smartphone market is one of India’s fastest-growing business sector, and an increasing number of consumer electronics brands want a slice of the action. A number of players, both domestic and foreign, have entered this market in recent years with varying degrees of success.

HTC Desire 826 vs HTC Desire EYE: first look

Image
HTC did what it should have a long time ago, and moved its 4 MP UltraPixel snapper at the front, placing a more orthodox 13 MP camera at the rear of the newly-announced Desire 826 . We just took it for a spin, comparing it with HTC's original idea for a selfie-oriented handset, the Desire Eye, and found quite a few differences. Design The phones sport a largely similar design concept, with matte plastic unibodies that are very comfortable to hold, and rounded corners with a colored separation rim around the sides. The Desire 826 is, naturally, the larger, harder to handle phone, due to the increased screen diagonal, but the difference is not that crummy, since both are pretty big phones anyway, thanks to the embedded BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, requiring that you work them with both hands pretty often. The Desire 826 is notably heavier than the Eye, though. Display With a 5.5" 1080p display, the Desire 826 returns a slightly low...
