Goodbye Tizen? Samsung could bring its smartwatch to Android

Despite the fact that Samsung has been using the Tizen platform in its smartwatches for a long time, in the future it could ditch Tizen and move to Android (Wear OS). Wear OS is now used in most smartwatches, and Samsung could be among them with its solutions.

Goodbye Tizen?  Samsung could bring its smartwatch to Android

It is still premature to say that Samsung will completely abandon Tizen, but, according to an insider, the company is preparing a smartwatch that will use Android instead of Tizen. What kind of model it is is not reported, but, according to another source, Samsung is now working on devices with catalog numbers SM-R86X and SM-R87X. These designations indicate that promising new products belong to the Galaxy Watch line. It is possible that they may turn out to be variants of the same model – they will simply receive screens of different sizes.

There are many reasons why Samsung might ditch Tizen in favor of Android, but perhaps the most obvious one is the apps by the proponent of developers: there are far fewer of them for Tizen than for Wear OS. In addition, a full transition to Android would greatly simplify the work of developers – they would not have to make different versions of the same program (for both Tizen and Wear OS).

However, the rumor that Samsung will abandon Tizen has appeared on the Internet for the first time, but this platform is still alive.
