Samsung is reportedly gearing up to release Tizen, a new operating system based on Linux. This would allow them to distance themselves from Android.
News from Samsung and this time it’s not about smartphone hardware, but about operating systems.
It is known that the company is working on a new operating system called “Tizen“, an open source OS that sees close collaboration with Intel.
The base of Tizen is Linux and it is rumored that possibly as early as February, during the Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, we will be able to see at least a prototype Tizen smartphone.
With this move, Samsung’s intention to break away from the Android operating system and thus present a new, proprietary alternative appears absolutely clear.
Observers and users awaiting the release of Samsung’s next top-of-the-range smartphone believe that the first good opportunity to demonstrate the value of Tizen could be with the release of the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4.
The goal of acquiring greater autonomy on devices, starting precisely with the operating system, seems to be acknowledged and absolutely legitimate, but the doubt arises whether the decision may also have matured following the fact that the latest Googlephone released recently was spectacularly an LG and no longer a Samsung: has the release of the new Nexus 4 perhaps given a further push to Samsung towards greater independence, since Google chose a different partner for its flagship model?
