Samsung Z3 update removes MixRadio app from the device

Firmware

Samsung recently confirmed that the MixRadio streaming service for its Tizen and budget Android handsets would be closing down on March 21. Today, the company has started rolling out an update for the Samsung Z3 that removes the MixRadio app from the phone, which is the final nail in the coffin for the short-lived service. The update is 25.4 MB in size and comes with build number Z300HDDU0BPC5.

Music streaming services are all the rage these days, especially with Apple having entered the market last year with Apple Music, which makes the shutting down of MixRadio a problem for the Korean giant. Android users will find a lot of alternatives on the Play Store, but Tizen users will have to be patient and hope that one of the popular streaming services gets a native app for Samsung's nascent mobile operating system. Indian consumers do have the option of local services like Gaana, which is a good thing since India is the biggest market for Tizen at the moment.
