Whiplash January 9 news, according to reports, Samsung's Tizen app store has officially closed, from 2022 will no longer be open to new and existing users. Last June, the company closed its registration and only opened its store to existing users for previously downloaded apps.
It is understood that Tizen is a hybrid of Intel MeeGo system and Samsung LiMo system, supporting a variety of devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks, and in-car infotainment systems. The last Samsung Z4 phone to run Tizen OS was released in 2017.
At present, Samsung's TVs and watch products still use Tizen, which can be continued in another direction. However, the Galaxy Watch4 series watch launched by Samsung in 2021 is equipped with Google's Wear OS, and does not continue to use Tizen, which seems to hint at the gradual abandonment of the watch series.
