Samsung says that 100,000 people have stepped up and purchased the Z1
in India. The sales volume has also grown quickly in Bangladesh
reaching 20,000 units since the Z1 went on sale February 3. The
appealing factors of the device to buyers in those markets are long
battery life and performance for a device in its price range.
The Samsung Z1 sells for 99,000 won in India, which is about $89 US.
Samsung is expected to roll out more Tizen smartphones in other
developing nations seeking market share often dominated by smaller local
players in the mobile phone market such as Micromax from India.
