Current thoughts about the new Samsung Z (Tizen)
Added by P3lUZa R almost 10 years ago
Samsung first Tizen mobile has arrived http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2014/06/02/Samsung-Launches-Industrys-First-Tizen-Smartphone---the-Samsung-Z-1, I would like to know what are the current thoughts of the Replicant comunity about this phone. I am not talking about porting replicant since Cyanogen doesnt support it, but would it be a better phone than an standard Android phone or would it be another fiasco like the n900???

I would like to know what are the current thoughts of the Replicant comunity about this phone.
There is very little information about the device as of hardware specs (let us know if you have that information).

How free the device will be seems hard to estimate at this point. The Tizen source code is available at https://review.tizen.org/git/ and seems already pretty full of useful things, but there seem to be proprietary parts, too. I suppose we'll have to wait for the device to come out to be able to see exactly what proprietary parts are needed by Tizen.
