Samsung Z2 availability issues in Indonesia have been addressed

Samsung has gradually been rolling out the Samsung Z2 Tizen smartphone in additional markets across the globe. Just last week the Samsung Z2 was released in Indonesia however customers in the country found it very hard to get their hands on one. Apparently Samsung announced the launch and started running TV ads without first ensuring availability. Customers obviously voiced their complaints which prompted Samsung Indonesia to officially respond to the matter.

Samsung Indonesia has now confirmed that the Samsung Z2 has been distributed to its retail partners across the country. It has also confirmed that the Z2 supports all 4G LTE networks in Indonesia. Customers in the country will only be able to purchase apps from the Tizen store with carrier billing on Telcomsel, those who are on other networks will need a credit card to purchase paid apps. Samsung's Tizen store recently went live in the country, it hosts more than 6,500 apps with 2,700 made specifically for the Z2. More than 1,600 of those apps have initially been made available for users in Indonesia. The Samsung Z2 costs Rp. 899,000 ($70) and is now available for purchase in Indonesia.
