What is Tizen
Tizen is a new operating system
that runs on mobile devices, TV’s, cars, etc. unlike android tizen is trying to
improve many parts of users experience including the hardware like proper
battery management, the tizen operating system has been around since 2012 but
was reportedly accepted by Samsung in 2014 and since then they have gone on to
produce their first tizen based device which is now in use in India.
For those who are still unsure what
exactly Tizen is, what it might mean to the general tech consumer, and
wondering whether it'll prove a viable competitor to Google's Android, we've
taken a closer look at this next gen-operating system.
Samsung’s first tizen smart phone
is a low end cheap one used to exercise the strength of tizen os. The volume of
sales indicates the level that the tizen os has been accepted and how good it
is Samsung has sold over 120,000 of Samsung Z1 smartphones.
The benefits of Tizen are very
simple: Tizen is ‘lighter’ than other operating systems,” Samsung writes. “In
other words, Tizen requires less processing power and memory, thereby ensuring
faster device speeds while consuming less energy. As a result, consumers will
benefit from a smoother user experience through the likes of shorter boot time,
faster web browsing and seamless multitasking, all the while enjoying longer
battery life as written by Samsung.
Now let’s talk more about tizen operating system.

You've probably gathered that it's a
mobile OS and that Samsung has its finger in this particular software pie.
Most casual observers probably
aren't aware however that, much like Android before it, Tizen has its roots in
Linux and is governed by a 'steering group' comprising of device manufacturers,
software developers, and mobile network operators.
Samsung
and chip maker Intel are the key drivers of the initiative first galvanised in
2012 - Tizen rose phoenix-like from the ashes of Intel and Nokia's much talked
about (but never really made it out
into the open) MeeGo OS and Samsung's decision to incorporate its
ailing native platform Bada into the new venture.
The
aim, although not explicitly stated as such, appears to be to take on the might
of Android by extending the reach to third party devs by supporting JavaScript,
CSS, and most pertinently, HTML5.
The
fledgling OS is not restricted to mobile devices however - the Tizen Foundation
envisage the platform's versatility allowing it to power netbooks, tablets,
TVs, and in-car systems.
Indeed, this ties in with the Tizen Foundation's gathering of
support from no less than 36 other companies including Huawei, Fujitsu,
Panasonic, Konami, eBay, and Japanese network NTT Docomo to call on in their
quest to broaden commercial possibilities for the platform beyond that of
Samsung's initial goal of lessening its dependence on Android.
The
latter in particular seems to be a sector ready to embrace the platform with
director of the Tizen Foundation and Intel platform and business manager, Chris
Croteau, recently commenting that the OS has "a strong base built up in
automotive" and that the "automotive grade Linux consortium, led by
Toyota and Jaguar and Land Rover, is all based on Tizen."
With time the tizen system will totally overcome
android because more companies have accepted it.
For most programmers it will be a let’s do our thing
operating system given the fact that it comes from the Linux family of
programmers, for those who know Linux is hackers basin because it accepts and
performs many task than window operating system.
Tizen Development Units now available
Tizen Developers can now
apply for a limited number of development units such as Samsung Phones and NUC
based Mini-PCs. Additional Devices like Tablets and TV Sets are expected later.
