There are large partnerships done by Samsung with e-tailing sites to benefit its customers in all possible manners.
MixRadio: A unique combination of live Radio channels, a large range of offline songs and on-demand music. You have more than 30 million songs and 8 languages to choose from. This music is a free lifetime.
Samsung has tied up with Vodafone to provide 1GB data free for two months. The tag line for this smartphone is - rewarding, engaging and efficient.
My opinion: There are already many smartphones with similar tech features available in the same price band. In this era of Android-ism, the user will have to understand the difference between Tizen and Android. Definitely Google is out once it is a Tizen phone. There is Tizen Store to download what all you want to install. Plus is that the phone is good for people who have bent towards taking a challenge of using something different in technology. Some USPs as stated above will definitely attract a large chunk of music and shopping lovers. This is Make In India for the World.
