A day later than expected, Samsung has launched its latest Tizen-powered smartphone, the Samsung Z2, in Kenya. The handset, which is available to purchase in either black or gold from local carrier Safaricom's online portal and brick-and-mortar stores for KSH 6,000 ($59), can be used with a selection of its reasonably priced pay as you go LTE bundles.

The Samsung Z2 isn't the company's most powerful Tizen device, but it's still a great offering for those looking for a cheap entry into the smartphone market that offers exceptional battery life. It packs a 4-inch TFT display, a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage and a 5MP rear-facing camera, a VGA selfie shooter and a 1,500mAh battery.
