What Exactly is Tizen?

Tizen

Tizen OS is an operating system that is based out of Linux and is maintained and looked after by the Linux foundation. It is primarily used by Samsung, due to which it has gained a bit of momentum in the market.

Theoretically, Tizen is open-sourced, so developers are provided with the ability to access the same in order to build and make apps and add them to third-party applications, key of which are certain Smart TVs and smartwatches.

There have been several different varieties of Tizen developed to run on various devices. Some of them are Tizen Wearable, primarily in use for Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy Gear smartwatches. Tizen Mobile on the other hand is used in the Z series of Samsung budget handsets, available in only a handful of markets.

Out of these use cases, what might have stuck out to you is the Tizen Wearable OS, which consists of an ecosystem different from Google’s Wear, which for those wondering was earlier called Android Wear.
