Samsung Z

The Samsung Z was announced in 2014 as Samsung's first Tizen-powered smartphone. However, its planned commercial release was postponed, and the phone never officially launched in India. Therefore, it does not have an official Indian retail price.

Display: The phone was announced with a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display with 1,280 x 720 resolution.

Performance: It was designed with a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, and 16GB internal storage.

Camera: The specifications included an 8MP rear camera and 2.1MP front camera.

Battery: A removable 2,600 mAh battery was announced for the device.

You can also buy a mobile phone on Easy EMIs at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities, including Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales.

The Samsung Z was an early attempt by Samsung to introduce a smartphone running Tizen instead of Android. It was announced in June 2014 with a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and a 2,600 mAh removable battery. Samsung initially planned a commercial release in Russia before expanding to other markets. However, that launch was postponed. The Samsung Z was never officially released in India, so specifications and prices associated with it should be viewed as historical product information rather than details of a phone currently available to purchase.

You can buy a new smartphone through Easy EMIs when your preferred model is eligible and available at a partner store, making it simple to upgrade without paying the full amount upfront. Here is what the process looks like:

• Visit more than 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000+ cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal
• Choose your preferred model, select the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan, and check your eligibility by entering your mobile number
• Convert the purchase cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget

➜ Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive if your chosen smartphone qualifies before you check out.

Buyers may want to understand whether the Samsung Z actually launched, how its Tizen software differed from Android, and whether the prices shown online represent an official Indian selling price.

➜ Was the Samsung Z a real phone or just a rumour?

The Samsung Z was a real device officially announced by Samsung in June 2014. Samsung also displayed the phone publicly and published its specifications. However, its planned commercial release was postponed. It therefore should not be described purely as a rumoured phone, even though it never received an official India launch.

➜ Did the Samsung Z run Android?

No. The Samsung Z was designed to run Tizen 2.2.1 instead of Android. This was one of its defining characteristics. Samsung intended Tizen to provide a separate smartphone platform while supporting features such as Ultra Power Saving Mode, S Health, fingerprint authentication, and theme customisation.

➜ Did the Samsung Z support 5G?

No. The Samsung Z was announced in 2014 and supported LTE Cat.4 connectivity. It was not a 5G smartphone. Its connectivity specifications also included Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 BLE, NFC, GPS/GLONASS, and USB 2.0.

➜ What cameras were announced for the Samsung Z?

Samsung announced an 8MP rear camera and 2.1MP front camera for the Samsung Z. The rear camera supported features such as Quick Shot, Best Photo, Panorama, and Dual Camera. Claims describing the original Samsung Z as having a 50MP camera do not match Samsung's official specifications.

Bajaj Finance offers two financing options at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities in India. Here is how they compare:

How to choose?

Both options require you to be physically present at a partner store. The Insta EMI Card is ideal for shoppers who want to purchase across multiple categories over time. The Easy EMI Loan suits buyers looking to finance a higher-value purchase in a single transaction.

Example: 

Suppose Riya wants to upgrade to a smartphone priced at Rs. 30,000 that is eligible at a Bajaj Finance partner store. She visits the store and chooses an Easy EMI Loan for the purchase. Before proceeding, she checks the approved loan amount, down payment, interest rate, repayment tenure, monthly EMI, and total amount repayable.

➜ Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive whether your chosen smartphone qualifies before completing the purchase.

The Samsung Z never officially launched in India and is not a current eligible smartphone. The financing options above apply to eligible mobile phones available at Bajaj Finance partner stores.

Upgrading to a new mobile is simple with Bajaj Finance in-store financing. The process usually takes 10–15 minutes.

• Browse models: Compare mobile brands, features, storage, and prices on Bajaj Mall before visiting.
• Find a partner store: Use the Bajaj Finance store locator to find Croma, Vijay Sales, or another authorised retailer.
• Check the mobile: Compare the display, camera, battery, processor, and storage in person.
• Choose an EMI option: Ask about the Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan and confirm tenure and zero down payment eligibility.
• Complete payment: Once approved, complete the purchase and take the mobile home.
