A look at Tizen OS

Dear readers, Intel has kindly introduced Tizen 2.2 to us, demonstrating its work on the square Galaxy S3. In this article, I suggest looking at Tizen and listening to my findings regarding the operating system.

A few weeks ago, kirikch was already laying out an article titled Getting to Know Tizen , from it you can learn about the features of architecture, the interaction of software with hardware and about development for OS. And my task is to show how the system works, what I like, what I don’t. So to say, look at it from the height of an ordinary user.

And, of course, you need to pay attention to the video, as the demonstration of the system must be observed live.



Interestingly, the Tizen was installed on a Samsung Galaxy S3 devoleper pattern, called the Samsung RD-PQ. It differs from the original model in that it has square corners.



Inside, apparently, all the same. At least there is definitely an ARM chip.



Surprisingly, Tizen does a great job regarding the response system. Clicks are perceived instantly, the OS is absolutely not slow. Of course, the animations are not as beautiful as in iOS or Android, but apparently the main task of the developers is to create a responsive interface, and all the beauty will be induced later.

It is worth remembering what was the first version of Tizen.



Now the system is just developing. I am sure that quite a few funds have been spent on this development, and Samsung, Intel and several cellular operators dominate the process itself.

Starting from the second version, it is clear that the work is directed towards the ready-made market: iOS and Android. But what can Tizen become? Rival iOS / Android? I have already said in the video that this requires some kind of chip, which is not there now. Rival windows phone? Perhaps, but the logic of these operating systems is so different that WP will always be in demand from enthusiasts. Although Windows Phone has Nokia, which continues to blow up the market of camera phones. The most logical conclusion is that Tizen will replace Bada, extending to a large number of cheap devices and, possibly, once a year on one key point (just like the iPhone 5). This development model will help raise the OS to a level of at least 1% of the total component of mobile OS in the world.

We'll see. We'll see…
