The arrival of the South Korean company Samsung's own operating system, the Tizen operating system, was scheduled for February or March of this year. This time it has been known that this operating system will have to wait at least until the second half of the year, since for now it seems that South Koreans are fully focused on carrying out their most important novelties of the year (see the Samsung Galaxy S5 or the new Galaxy Gear 2 smart watch).
Remember that Tizen is an operating system project that Samsung has been developing for quite some time in the company of the computer giant Intel. The idea of the South Korean company is to create an alternative to the Android operating system based on its own environment that all Samsung products would begin to incorporate. To date, the only recent information that is being known about this project is only related to more and more delays in its presentation. Still, some sources suggest that the first phone to incorporate this novelty would be the Samsung SC-03F (also possibly called Tizen 3.0), a terminal that will come with a 64-bit processor and ultra-fast 4G Internet connectivity.
The truth is that today the information that exists about this project is very limited and does not reveal anything new beyond the fact that Tizen will be an open source platform. Some time ago some screenshots were leaked on the net that showed the aspect of Tizen in operation (see the first attached image in this article). From what could be seen in those images, the appearance of this operating system is quite similar to the appearance of the Touchwiz interface (an Android layer customized by Samsung that all smartphones of this company incorporate).
The first doubts that assail us in relation to this operating system are very varied. Will Tizen include a good collection of applications from the first moment of its launch, will it be compatible with Google Play applications or will it directly start from scratch? Do not forget that precisely one of the great claims of Android is the enormous variety of applications available in the Google Play store, so if Samsung wants to stand up to Google's operating system it would have to start by offering a good range of applications from the first moment of their presentation.
The information that the official presentation of Tizen will be delayed -at least- until the second half of this year comes from an official South Korean source of Samsung, so sadly we will have to wait yet a few months to see the appearance of this live operating system. Nor should we rule out the possibility that this entire project will finally remain an anecdote that will never see the light of day, since standing up to Google is not an easy decision.
