Samsung Z4 with 5-megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash Coming First to India

Samsung has expanded its portfolio of Tizen OS-powered smartphones with the launch of the Z4. It is an entry-level offering that features 4G LTE, VoLTE (voice over LTE) and a front-facing LED flash.

The Samsung Z4 is powered by Tizen OS version 3.0. The phone comes with a Quick Talk feature, which allows you to launch a set of shortcuts such as alarm, call or music through voice activated commands.

The most interesting aspect about the new phone from Samsung is its camera department. The Samsung Z4 comes with a 5-megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash support and at front it features a 5-megapixel sensor with f/2.2 aperture and LED flash support. The company claims that both front and rear cameras on Samsung Z4 are "optimised for social media" and offer features focused on convenience and creativity. The rear flash module also appears to be shaped similar to the Smart Glow notification system unveiled with the Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016).

The Samsung Z4 will be made available in both single and dual-SIM variants depending on the market. It sports a 4.5-inch WVGA (480x800 pixels) display with 2.5D curved glass on top, which the company says is a first for its Z-Series Tizen smartphones. It is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM.

While Samsung is yet to detail the inbuilt storage offered by the device, the connectivity options offered by Samsung Z4 include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, GPS, and Glonass. The smartphone houses a 2050mAh battery. The Samsung Z4 measures 132.9x69.2x10.3mm and weighs 143 grams.

"We're dedicated to providing our customers with devices that offer smarter mobile interactions," DJ Koh, president of mobile communications business at Samsung Electronics, was quoted as saying in the company's release. "The Samsung Z4 brings a simplified mobile experience to first time smartphone users and represents our ongoing commitment to expanding the Tizen ecosystem," Koh said.

The Samsung Z4 will launch in select countries later this month, starting in India. Unfortunately, we don’t have any information with regards to pricing, but we do know that it’ll be available in three colors — black, gold and silver. If you really can’t wait to catch a glimpse of the handset, it will be on display at the Tizen Developer Conference in San Francisco on May 16 through May 17.
