Samsung Reportedly Unveils Tizen 3.0 Next Week

Samsung Reportedly Unveils Tizen 3.0 Next Week

There has been a lot of speculation about Tizen recently, the open source operating system that Samsung and Intel have collaborated on. So far the company has not released a Tizen powered device in the market, one was expected earlier this year, but it is believed that the first Tizen smartphone won’t come out until 2014. Samsung is also working on Tizen powered smart TVs, though a company executive confirmed earlier today that a smart TV will not come until the Tizen powered smartphone is out first. Local media reports coming in out of South Korea suggest that Samsung is gearing up to unveil Tizen 3.0, a substantial update, at its developers conference in Seoul next week.

Details about Tizen 3.0 are scarce at this point in time, though it is believed that Samsung has opted for a flat design. Back in September we saw purported images of Tizen 3.0 running on a Samsung Galaxy S4. The week after the developers conference in Seoul, which takes place on November 11th, Samsung is conducting another similar conference in London where it is expected to show off Tizen 3.0 as well. We’ll know for sure if that’s going to happen come November 11th, if Samsung really does show off the next Tizen update on its home turf first.

    Samsung S Cloud Launch Rumored For 2014 With Tizen 3.0

    Samsung S Cloud Launch Rumored For 2014 With Tizen 3.0

    Samsung has its first ever Developer Conference scheduled this October. Rumor has it that the company will officially launch its Tizen platform at this conference. The focus of this conference is said to be on Tizen, where Samsung will conduct numerous sessions to tell developers more about the platform and their vision for it. Samsung’s first Tizen handset is also rumored to be unveiled at this event. There’s a new rumor circulating now which claims that Samsung might release the much rumored S Cloud service with Tizen 3.0, which is due to be released in 2014.

    Rumors about the S Cloud service have been around for a long, long time. They started off prior to the launch of Galaxy S3. We heard more before the Galaxy Note 2 launch, but even after nearly two years, the service continues to elude us. Rumor has it that S Cloud development will finish by the end of this year, leaving it ready for a 2014 launch along with Tizen 3.0. S Cloud is going to be Samsung’s answer to iCloud and Google Drive, its a cloud storage service. The company is rumored to switch to Tizen from Android in the future, having its own cloud storage service would mean that its devices will no longer have to rely on Google’s cloud service. However, it is expected that Samsung won’t abruptly shift from Android to Tizen, the process may take a considerable amount of time.
