Samsung to dump Android for Tizen in Galaxy Gear smartwatch: Report
It looks like the South Korean electronics giant will also update its first smartwatch, Galaxy Gear to run Tizen.
NEW DELHI: Samsung decided to ditch Android for Tizen for its new smartwatches and now, it looks like the South Korean electronics giant will also update its first smartwatch - Galaxy Gear to run the OS.
In line with reports that had come out in February suggesting that Samsung had decided to replace Android with Tizen on Galaxy Gear, online publication SamMobile has posted a video that features the watch running a test build of the OS.
Tizen is the Linux-based operating system developed under the leadership of Samsung and Intel.
While the watch will obviously not get the hardware features such as the universal remote control that its successor boasts of, it will get better battery life and access to Tizen apps. It may also bring features like sleep tracking that measures sleep patterns and a standalone music player. The original Gear was only capable of streaming music from a compatible Galaxy phone.
Samsung has not confirmed the exact time frame of the update's rollout.
The company is also expected to introduce a new Android smartwatch based on Android Wear, Google's recently announced OS for wearables. The OS is different from Samsung's Android-based OS that powers the Galaxy Gear.
