A few years ago, the mobile operating system market can be called "a hundred flowers blooming", in addition to the familiar iOS and Android, as well as BlackBerry, Samsung Tizen, Microsoft Windows Phone / Mobile, etc., everyone did not know much about Tizen before, Tizen is a hybrid operating system jointly created by Samsung and Intel! We know that Samsung's mobile phone also uses the Android system, but we did not expect that before 2017, there was a period of time before the mobile phone that also ran Tizen OS, that is, Samsung's "Hongmeng system". Tizen OS supports a wide range of devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks, and in-car infotainment systems. The last Samsung Z4 phone to run Tizen OS was also released earlier than 2017.
However, according to media reports, Samsung has permanently closed the Tizen app store on December 31 last year, and the relevant mobile phone users have become inaccessible. In fact, Samsung closed the store's new user registration in June last year, and even for existing users, it also restricted the function, that is, it could only download and use the programs previously recorded by the account.
In 2016, Tizen was the fourth largest mobile PHONE OS in the world, even more popular than BlackBerry. At present, Tizen is still used in Samsung's watches and TV products, but this year's GalaxyWatch 4 announced that Samsung gave up its own Tizen to switch to Android Wear OS, and the Tizen project is already a shadow.
However, due to the huge global shipments of Samsung TVs, Tizen is still the largest TV system, and it is still unknown where it will go in the future. What operating systems have you used? Is there a favorite? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section and say what you think.
