The Samsung Z2 has been in the press a lot recently. We first heard of the handset a little over a year ago when a series of leaked images surfaced online highlighting its design, then shortly after the device was granted Bluetooth certification in the United States, and just a week ago a database listing was discovered revealing that the South Korean company had started importing a lot of components into India to assemble its latest Tizen-powered smartphone at its Noida assembly plant.
Today, we're getting our second proper glimpse at the aesthetic features of the Z2 thanks to a prematurely published user support manual for an unannounced device carrying the model number SM-Z200F, which matches up to the identification tag included all of the previous leaks, rumors and speculation we've heard about this particular handset. Fortunately, it doesn't look like Samsung has changed the design of its latest addition to the Z lineup too much, which is good news as we we're huge fans of the look and feel of the Z1 and Z3.
As can be seen in the sketch below, the front of the Z2 is incredibly similar to that of the Z3, while the back retains the same camera, flash, dual-SIM and microSD layout as the original Z1. The render also enables us to come to the conclusion that Samsung may have opted for a 4-inch display as opposed to the previously-rumored 5-inch panel as it doesn't look like there would have been enough room to fit a larger screen in the aluminum and plastic-clad body.
Unfortunately, as with all leaks and rumors, we have to take this alleged design with a pinch of salt until Samsung provides us with some evidence with regards to what it has in store for its next Tizen smartphone, but hopefully we won’t have to wait too much longer to find out.
