MUSTDOS, 01 Jul 2014Wow, no one is trolling about Tizen, good. Just look about ... moreYou obviously need to try something different.
I had a 267mhz p2 running xp pro on 64mb ram. And road runner. They are light years apart

    Wow, no one is trolling about Tizen, good. Just look about the instability and insecurity of the android/iOS and you will want to switch back to maemo5. All awards for modern powerful phones go for their hardwares not vice versa. I miss how when you bought a smart phone, you get a smart one not a multimedia one. Previous owner of p1i and n900, and currently p920 on android ICS and it is slower than a 200 mhz pentium with windows vista.

                The main and most important question is, will it run on TouchWiz?

                  This not good move,
                  You have next generation hardware ready for testing like s5A then why would you test old spec phone, bring the best at first lainch instead of slow and not comparable? Wrong game actually , production cost will not be much diffent from bktb of them so the profit will be almost same so why play loosing game?

                    Oh com'n again!? Why is our country always get shoveled for cheaper products such as this? I'd bet this is cheaper than the andoird powered S5. What Samsung? Just because our country is poor doesn't mean we can't afford your high-end products!

                      If Sansung will pass on Tizen they will loose more then 50% of their clients.

                            AnonD-276015, 30 Jun 2014Tizen powered phones will run android apps.This was promised by OpenMobile ACL, but they have a history of not delivering and over promising.

                            Don't keep your hopes up for seamless Android compatibility.

                            Also it's going to be interesting to note what Samsung Android fans will do once they have to choose between Samsung and Android, or Tizen. Are Samsung fanboys going to troll each other?

                                  If all I want is call, email and text then why would I bother with phones like this? I might as well just get a featurephone... oh... wait there aren't any anymore... DoH!

                                    Price will be near 35K inr considering the crazy price drop the SS5's just had here in India.
