14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has already confirmed that the Z3 will be coming to several emerging markets like India, Bangladesh and Nepal, and we were under the impression the Tizen-powered smartphone wouldn't be offered in other countries.
However, it appears that the South Korean company has decided otherwise, at least according to a new report coming from SamMobile. Sources familiar with Samsung's plans claim the Z3 will be launched in Europe as well.
While there were some rumors that Samsung Z3 might be introduced in Russia sometime this year, it appears that other European countries will get it too.
The list contains countries like Germany, France, Poland and the UK, but there might be others that will receive the Samsung Z3 by the end of 2015.
In the same piece of news, TizenExperts reports that Samsung has already started production of the Tizen-powered Z3 at its Noida assembly plant.
Mid-range specs and a new Tizen OS version
The information seems to be confirmed by the numerous shipping reports, which list assembly parts for around 1,000 Samsung Z3 units that have been sent from the South Korean company's headquarter to India.
Samsung is expected to ramp up the production of the Z3 in India as we're getting closer to official unveil, but there's no telling where exactly the smartphone will be launched first.
Anyway, the Z3 will be a nice upgrade over the popular Samsung Z1. First of all, it will come with Tizen 3.0 OS right out of the box. Also, it will sport a 5-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution and a more-than-decent 2,600mAh battery.
Samsung Z3 is said to pack a 1.3GHz quad-core Spreadtrum processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot.
On the back, the smartphone should feature an 8-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash, and video recording, while on the front there will be a 5-megapixel selfie camera.
