Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. will manufacture the Z1 smartphone in India as it moves to defend its leadership in the fastest growing smartphone market in the Asia Pacific region.
The Z1, released in India earlier this month, runs on the Tizen operating system, which Samsung is developing in a bid to reduce its dependence on Google Inc.’s Android operating system. Tizen can also be found on Samsung’s Gear smartwatch.
