Samsung Z3 Hands On Review [Video]

Question- How is Design and Build Quality? Answer- Samsung Z3 looks much like its predecessor Z1 from the front. The back is made up of plastic which has curved edges just like the Note 5 but the material used does not match anywhere close to that. The sides and the buttons are also made of plastic; they have a shiny metallic texture like Samsung used in most of its devices. The phone is handy and easily usable with single hand but the quality material used is not up to the mark.

Conclusion

Samsung Z3 is a good device which has some real specs for the price, but the major set back could the operating system. It comes with Tizen 2.4 OS that does not have much developers, which could not give it much apps, but the most of the popular apps are available for Tizen. This smartphone is a good deal for a feature phone user who are planning to upgrade to a smartphone. Would you buy it ?
