Samsung has been working on the Tizen mobile operating system platform along with Intel. In recent past, Samsung was rumored of dropping the development of Tizen based devices. However, now DigiTimes , quoting its sources, said that Samsung has just slowed down the development of Tizen mobile OS and not dropping it entirely.
Samsung's executive vice president, Lee Young Hee had informed Bloomberg that Tizen based smartphones can be expected in August-September this year. These Tizen smartphones will be of high-end category. Now since we are in August, there is no sign of the Tizen-based high-end smartphone from Samsung.
Tizen mobile platform is based on the Linux Kernel and is expected to launch with thousands of Apps . Even if the first Tizen smartphone boasts of mind-blowing specifications, they would be futile without the app eco-system.
Tizen project is being backed by Samsung and Intel together. We can now expect the Tizen devices sometime early 2014.
