Short Review
- The Samsung Z features a compact design with dimensions of 138.2 x 69.8 x 8.5 mm and a weight of 136g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing vibrant colors and decent clarity at approximately 306 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 2.3 GHz CPU paired with 2GB of RAM, ensuring smooth operation for basic tasks.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video, while the front-facing 2.1 MP camera is suitable for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2600 mAh, supporting standard usage but lacking fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Tizen 2.2.1, the software experience is unique but may limit app availability compared to other platforms.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, though it does not support 5G.
- The device is available in black and black/brown colors, but lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Samsung Z combines a solid build with a functional display and adequate performance for everyday use.
