Samsung will leave with Android this year.

For some, it may sound incredible, but Samsung really plans to abandon Google’s mobile OS. The company plans to release the first smartphone based on the new operating system by the end of this year.

This week, in an interview with AllThingsD, the head of Samsung David Eun said that his company plans to break into the mobile OS market and play big. And although the release of the phone should not be expected until the Christmas holidays, analysts suggest that they will introduce the new product this month, during the Mobile World Congress.

The phone will be managed by Tizen - an operating system developed by Intel and Samsung. At the heart of Tizen is the Webkit engine and the Linux kernel. On Habré, by the way, there were already articles about this system. One , two .

What made the giant Samsung start looking for an opportunity to get away from Google? Well, of course, money! Currently, Samsung simply makes a profit from sales of smartphones, while Google continues to receive users' money through Google Play for a long time, and at the same time expand its sphere of influence in the mobile market. Not surprisingly, Koreans have snapped on Android. Together with the OS will arrive in time and its own application store.
