Samsung Group delays Tizen smartphone, what’s the reason?

A number of tech analysts are calling Samsung’s Tizen OS “doomed†from its very beginning, seeing that Tizen must compete with the beast that is called Android OS as well as iOS and Windows OS, the top three dominant operating systems in the world right now.

And, with this presupposition, if Tizen is doomed, then, following the logic, Samsung’s Z smartphone should be doomed also. Correct?

Well, the case isn’t so clear cut – with either Tizen or Samsung’s Z smartphone. Samsung’s been dying for a chance to “do its thing,†represent the very best of its own innovations within Android. Starting with at least the Galaxy S3 from two years ago, Samsung’s continued to add its own original software features to its Android smartphones, showing up Google, Sony, LG, and HTC’s lackluster software offerings in the process. And the company’s software has won either praise or condemnation from Samsung and Android users. Still, that hasn’t deterred Samsung.

Until the recent Google-Samsung agreement right after Mobile World Congress 2014 this past February. We can see the results of the agreement with Samsung’s Galaxy S5. It’s a little too conservative from Samsung’s norm, eliminating much of the usual camera software and other features we’ve come to expect from the company. It doesn’t mean that Google’s extinguished Samsung’s software prowess, but the Android owner has put out some of the fire.

In comes Tizen, Samsung’s answer to Google’s recent tactics to dominate and control Android as if it were Apple’s iOS. Samsung’s had plans to bring its first Tizen OS smartphone to market this year. Called the Z, the Tizen smartphone was expected to appear first in March of this year – but Japanese carrier NTT Docomo pulled out of the deal. Now, it seems as if Samsung’s Tizen “Z†smartphone has been delayed a second time.
