Samsung kicks off production of the Tizen-powered Z2 in India

We first heard of the LTE-enabled Samsung Z2 a little over a year ago when a handful of leaked images surfaced online showcasing the design of the handset from all angles. Unfortunately, Samsung hit a severe delay in the development of the device, which threw all plans of a 2015 release out of the window. However, it would now appear that a launch is imminent as the South Korean company has just started importing a large amount of components into India to assemble its latest Tizen-powered smartphone at its Noida assembly plant.

This news comes three weeks after a variant of the Samsung Z2, carrying the model number SM-Z200F, received Bluetooth certification in the United States, which is a pretty solid indicator that a launch is right around the corner. All that's left to do is receive FCC certification; then the handset will have all of the required documentation to hit the shelves. It's pretty safe to say that Samsung has done a pretty good job at keeping Z2 under wraps as we don’t have any specifications to report, other than that it will ship with an all-new My Money Transfer application and will have a build of S Bike on board.

Online publication Tizen Experts has reportedly conversed with one of its anonymous internal sources, who believes that we could be looking at an October 2016 release, but judging by the mass of support pages popping up left, right and center on Samsung's servers, it's perfectly possible that it could break cover before then.
