August 13, 2013 at 11:54A look at Tizen OS
Dear readers, Intel has kindly introduced us to Tizen 2.2, 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 Introducing Tizen , from it you can learn about the features of architecture, the interaction of software with hardware and about development for the OS. And my task is to show how the system works, how I like it, what it means - no. So to speak, look at it from the height of an ordinary user.
And, of course, you need to pay attention to the video, since the demonstration of the system must be watched live.
Interestingly, Tizen was installed on the Samsung Galaxy S3 depleater, called the Samsung RD-PQ. It differs from the original model in that it has square corners.
Inside, apparently, everything is the same. At least there is definitely an ARM chip.
Surprisingly, Tizen does its best with respect to the response system. Presses are perceived instantly, the OS absolutely does not slow down. Of course, the animations are not as beautiful as in iOS or Android, but apparently the main task of the developers now is to create a responsive interface, and they will bring all the beauty later.
It is worth remembering what the first version of Tizen was.
Now the system is only developing. I am sure that a lot of money has been spent on this development, and Samsung, Intel and several mobile operators dominate the process.
Starting from the second version, it can be seen that the work is aimed at the mainstream of the finished market: iOS and Android. But what can Tizen become? Opponent iOS / Android? I already said in the video that this requires some kind of chip, which is not there right now. Windows Phone Rival? Perhaps, but the logic of these OSs is so different that WP will always be in demand from enthusiasts. Although Windows Phone has Nokia, which continues to explode the camera phone market. The most logical conclusion is that Tizen will replace Bada, extending to a large number of cheap devices and, perhaps, once a year - on one key (just like iPhone 5). Such a 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 will see. We will see…
