Well....another mobile OS down the drain again, just like BlackBerry OS. :( That leaves HarmonyOS as the sole one left, and it's not viable yet. Are there any non-Google Android smartphones available?

I knew it. never trust Samsung when it comes to OS development.
I had a bit of hope they would continue Tizen on the wearables seeing how successful it was on the smartwatches, but even that was sacked for WearOS.
Samsung is like the typical meme dad. Goes out to buy cigarette, but never come back. They never learned from their own mistake. All they know is develop an OS, but they never really know how to nurture the ecosystem around it.

Kangal, 09 Jan 2022People here are misinformed, or just plain lying. Samsung ... morewebOS could be faster now but my 2015 LG TV is the slowest I‘ve ever used. Not that it makes it unusable it‘s just rather annoying.

Tizen is a copy of Meego os developed by Nokia, after Nokia some people lost there job and continued with Meego os, but they had to use another name, so they called it Sailfish os, you van use it on a Sony phone

Too many security holes in a UI written with 90's methodology. EFL, on which Tizen was based, was neat to show off in its day, but that was a very long time ago when the movie "Hackers" was state of the art. I can't believe that somebody in the 21st century tried to make a modern interface based on that steaming pile of garbage. Maybe if they were pledging the entire stack, but I don't think there was much hardening, if any, on Tizen, and pledge just kills the offending app, which is unexpected behavior for the overwhelming majority of tech illiterate smartphone users.

Color me surprised. Seeing how it went with BadaOS, I'm actually surprised it lasted this long... Which brings up a question, Tizen is used on ALL Samsung TV's. Does this mean Samsung is sacking Tizen and will be installing Android TV on all their TV's from now on?
