Samsung has already released a Tizen-powered device in the
guise of the Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch but it has yet to produce a smartphone
running its home-brewed mobile operating system. But all that may soon change
according to reports by The Wall Street
Journal.
According to WSJ, the Korean company might launch a Tizen
smartphone in Russia “in the coming weeks” with India getting the device
shortly after. There’s no specific information given especially on the phone’s
specs, but given that Samsung is targeting emerging markets, we expect the
feature set to be more on the entry-level and mid-range segment.
Aside from smartphones,
cameras
and wearables, Tizen is also expected to be installed on the Korean tech giant’s
line of smart
TVs although there is no timeline on when Samsung will do this.
