It was beginning to look like Samsung’s answer to the Android operating system would never see the light of the day, but if this press photo is legitimate, we might finally have proof of a Tizen device that will actually be available to the public. Korean tech site Moveplayer managed to obtain the photo of the Samsung ZEQ 9000 (or ‘Zeke’ for short) that you see above, a Tizen smartphone that will reportedly feature a 4.8-inch 720p display and 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor. As PhoneArena notes, the status bar at the top of the screen matches up with the Tizen screenshots from late last year. If the ZEQ 9000 is real, we should get our first official look at it on February 23rd in Barcelona.
