Samsung develops Tizen Mobile Lite for low end phones

The Tizen operating system is giving a lot to talk about, and that you do not expect the first smartphones with this platform until at least January or February 2014. This project , a collaboration between Samsung and Intel , is an operating system based on Linux, open source , which could be the most promising alternative to Android in the future, or is this what is intended . However Tizen is intended as a larger system , in the sense that it would be adapted to all kinds of products, not just smartphones , but also others such as televisions or cameras. Samsung has already launched NX300M camera with a special version of Tizen , but we will not see the full potential of the platform up until the arrival of the first smartphone. Tizen is going to be difficult to compete with the giant Android, but the idea of ​​expanding to other products would be an advantage . In addition , the system would also be available in a Lite version focused especially low-end devices , a segment where the Android user experience is not too good .

Tizen would be available in all types of smartphones , from which would benefit from more advanced components to those with more modest technical profile . The idea is ambitious , as it starts from scratch to create a range that meets the needs of all types of customers exactly what they own brands like Samsung or Nokia , you have a catalog that covers all ranges and sub - ranges imaginable . However, the normal version of Tizen has a number of limitations. The terminals would have to have 512 Mb of RAM or more and also have screens WVGA ( 480 x 800 pixels ) and a GB of storage . They are not very high requirements , but there are devices whose specifications are below these thresholds.

In order to offer an experience tailored to the needs of basic smartphones , have an adapted version called Tizen Mobile Lite might work smoothly on devices with 256 Mb of RAM and displays up to 320 x 240 pixels resolution . As we said , Android does not provide a very satisfying experience in these settings , so if Tizen manages to offer adequate fluid management may have an advantage over the green robot mobile system . Also Tizen Mobile Lite might work very well in emerging markets like India or Africa , because we are talking about terminal also very economical.
