Tizen-Based Samsung SM-Z9005 Spotted On eBay

Samsung is expected to make some kind of Tizen announcement at MWC 2014. Given the invites that Samsung has recently started to hand out, we can only assume that is the case. In fact if we had to guess, we would say that Samsung’s announcement could be about a Tizen-based handset and it wasn’t too long ago that we caught a glimpse of such a device in the form of the ZEQ9000 where a purported render of said device made its way online. Of course there’s no telling if the rendering is the real thing, but thanks to new photos spotted on eBay (the listing has since been taken down), we now have photos of what the handset could look like in real life.

The device has the model number SM-Z9005 which seems different from the previous leak that we saw, so take it with a grain of salt for now, but could be a different handset for all we know. According to the seller, the handset is said to feature a 4.7-inch 720p HD display and will pack 16GB of onboard storage. However earlier rumors have claimed that the device would feature a 4.8-inch display, so we’re not sure what’s with the discrepancy, but then again these are rumors for now. Either way hopefully Samsung will announce something at MWC 2014, so be sure to check back with us then for the details!
