TECH: Samsung’s Tizen OS Isn’t Dead Yet?

Samsung really want us to take Tizen seriously, but we have seen no sign that it would happen anytime soon. It is supposed to be Samsung’s answer to Android and iOS in the smartphone market, but all we have seen thus far is the OS being pushed onto their wearable devices.

We have seen the company trying to get the OS in more people’s hands with the Samsung Z, but we still can’t understand why these products never made it to consumers. We could easily assume that Samsung is thinking twice about Tizen on smartphones, but some new leaks prove otherwise.

We have seen some new leaks come to light that shows off the newest version of Tizen, v2.3. As you might expect from Samsung, it is extremely colourful, so if you don’t like TouchWiz look away now.

The resemblance between this version of Tizen and TouchWiz is quite significant, though you’ll notice that Samsung uses a new font that’s being dubbed TizenSans. We expect Samsung to bring this software to market mainly on budget devices in the emerging markets, but we hope they prove us wrong.
