Samsung Z4 heading for South Africa

South Africa is no stranger to Samsung's Tizen-driven handsets and soon will get another one. Last year, Samsung Z2 made its debut in the country in September. An insider familiar with the matter reveals that Samsung Z4 is on its way to South Africa, where it will be available via Vodacom.

Samsung Z4 is the first Tizen 3.0 smartphone and comes with low-end specs. Powered by a quad-core processor with a maximum clock speed of 1.5 GHz, it also features 1 GB RAM, 8 GB internal storage, microSD support up to 128 GB, as well as a 4.5-inch WVGA LCD touchscreen display with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Its list of specs also includes two 5 MP cameras, dual-SIM, 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, all powered by a 2,050 mAh battery.

Vodacom SA plans to carry the Samsung Z4 in South Africa, where the only available color is expected to be gold. A data bundle should come next to the $100 USD handset, but no details are available yet. The launch date has not been confirmed yet, but the Z4 should hit South Africa in the weeks to come.
