Samsung
Electronics Co is preparing to launch a new smartphone in Russia and India
based on its homegrown operating system Tizen, people familiar with the matter
said, according to the Wall Street Journal on Sunday.
Officials at
Samsung were not immediately available for comment Sunday afternoon.
The paper
said this was the latest step in Samsung's push to compete more directly in
mobile software and services with Google Inc and Apple Inc.
The South
Korean technology giant is planning an event in Moscow in the coming weeks to
introduce a smartphone running on the Tizen operating system, the people told
the Journal.
The launch
in Russia would be presented at an "Unpacked" event, similar to the
format that Samsung uses to unveil its flagship devices, one person told the
paper.
