Tizen, a Samsung backed operating system that was first released three years ago, may come in a newer avatar in 2016. People associated in the development of the OS also hinted something "big" is going to happen the next year.
"Tizen OS is an operating system of everything (Tizen smartphones, Tizen wearables, Tizen TVs, refrigerators, cars etc) and it is getting fine-tuned to make an impact. It will take some time but will make an impact,"Aloknath De, chief technology officer and vice president, Samsung R&D Institute, told The Mobile Indian at the recently concluded Tizen Developer Summit in Bengaluru. However, he didn't reveal any timeline for the same.
What is Tizen?
Based on Linux, the Tizen has the backing of many organisations, especially Samsung and Intel, who want to create an alternate open operating system like the Android.
The initial build of Tizen was released in January 2012 but after that very few devices came with the OS.
In June 2014, Samsung introduced the first Tizen mobile platform based smartphone - Samsung Z in Russia. It has a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display and runs on Tizen 2.2.1 operating system. Earlier this year, Samsung had announced its second and India's first Tizen OS based smartphone, the Tizen Z1 for Rs 5,700. It has a 4 inch touchscreen with 480x800 pixels resolution, 1.2 GHz dual core processor,4 GB of internal memory, 768 MB RAM, and an expandable storage slot that can accommodate a micro SD card of up to 64 GB. The company claims it sold more than one million units of Z2 in India. Also, Samsung Gear wearables are based on Tizen platform.
What is Samsung upto?
Samsung calls Tizen the "OS of Everything". Clearly, it wants to bring all kinds of devices - mobiles, TVs, cameras, home appliances and wearables – on Tizen so that all the devices are interconnected and can be managed from anywhere.
At Tizen Developer Summit, Samsung announced two new SDKs (software development kit) - version 2.3.1 and 2.4 Beta. SDK is typically a set of software development tools that allows the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar development platform.
Tizen 2.3.1 SDK is for developing native apps for Wearables device, while Tizen 2.4 Beta is meant for Dynamic Animation Library (DALi) for creating 3D applications(this is the same technology that has been used in Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge), better optimization of hardware usage and power consumption, Couldbox Feature - inter- connectivity with multiple cloud platforms, and Contextual triggers similar to Google Now.
