1. Samsung is launching the phone in Russia and not a major market like China, US, South Korea or even Europe.

2. The processor isn't an Exynos, but a Snapdragon. That means that they don't know what volumes to expect and are hedging their bets.

3. Tizen itself is interesting but until a few months back support for ARM was very much second class.
