Tizen mobile phone in the future how far?

The long-awaited release of Samsung Z, based on the Tizen smartphone Samsung has been opening up with Intel, is finally released. Although the industry for the future development of Samsung Tizen smart phones from the application, experience, support from the operator and other perspectives were analyzed, and come to the conclusion of different prospects.

In fact, from the background of Tizen, it is still too early for the industry's attention or the focus of analysis to be focused on Samsung and Tizen. The rationale is simple. Regardless of the future prospects, the top priority is whether Tizen can go any further. All analysis is futile. The key to deciding whether or not to go is not Samsung, nor the Tizen system itself, but the Tizen ecosystem initiator One of the Intel.

Industry clearly, miss the mobile Internet represented by smart phones and tablet PCs Intel has been using various methods and strategies to find a breakthrough in the smart phone. Among them is its cooperation with Nokia MeeGo system so that Intel was only one step away from the coveted smartphone market. Unfortunately, this step away, but let Microsoft cut off, that Nokia abandoned MeeGo system with Intel, and instead went to Microsoft's Windows Phone camp. Until last year by Microsoft mergers and acquisitions. Now looking back, Microsoft's almost immoral act almost completely broke Intel's road to smart phones. Fortunately, just as Intel was frustrated with MeeGo, Samsung entered the field of vision of Intel.

It was against this backdrop that Samsung was in a high-rise period in the Google Android smartphone camp, giving Samsung the time and energy to develop its own smartphone ecosystem. Although Bada had a very low market share of around 2% at the time, it was almost the same as Microsoft Windows Phone. And with Samsung's lengthy smartphone lineup and shipments, it's no harder to think beyond Samsung's Windows Phone if Samsung insists on promoting its own Bada system. That is to say Samsung's Bada is not forced to give up due to poor performance in the future analysis of the industry. So what is the reason for Samsung's termination of the development of Bada? Intel is the olive branch sticking out of Samsung, Tizen is also born. Here it is not hard to see that even though Tizen is nominally a product of the partnership between Samsung and Intel, Intel is more proactive, proactive and proactive in terms of strategy, and therefore more invested, as it may be Intel's entry into the smartphone market Last chance.

In contrast, Samsung's position and position with the Bada system was different at the time. At present, Samsung is the absolute mainstay of Google's Android camp. In addition, Microsoft recently announced that its Windows system is free for mobile devices under 9 inches, making the current Tizen's strategic role for Samsung even less powerful than its original Bada system. Someone may argue here, precisely because of Samsung's over-reliance on Google Android, so having your own ecosystem (such as Tizen) and avoiding Google's containment should be important. However, from the beginning of this year, Samsung and Google reached a 10-year patent cross-license agreement, reflecting Samsung's commitment to Android and Google's operating system. In the future, in the smart phone market, Android will still be Samsung's preferred and mainstay. Samsung and Google Is a prosperous, a loss all the relations (before the Samsung Bada system development, Samsung's position in the Android market and market share has not yet reached.) As for the containment, Samsung can make full use of the already free Microsoft Windows Phone ecosystem, however, the Microsoft Windows Phone ecosystem is also more mature than the now-defunct Tizen ecosystem.

From the above analysis is not difficult to see that since the birth of Tizen and development process, Samsung has always regarded Tizen as spare tire in its smart phone ecosystem spare tire, that is, its strategic position and role in Samsung far less than Intel , Which also determines Intel is the largest Tizen ecosystem support and input. The ultimate goal of doing so is also very simple, is to hope that Samsung in the future of smart phones using their own chips. However, Tizen mobile phones from before often bounced, and even in the previous Samsung released Tizen system-based smart watches still do not use Intel chips to see (after all, wearable devices are Intel to enter the field and market).

But for whatever reason, Tizen is not far from where it will come to an end if we still do not see Samsung's future based on Intel chips in Tizen-based devices (smartphones and smartwatches) because Intel is in a hurry, Will not rush to others (ARM-based chips) to do the wedding dress. So, Intel is the key to whether Tizen can keep going. The measure of the standard is how much future Samsung devices using Intel chips and the market response.
