News & Reviews:   Samsung Tizen tablet

While Samsung is rumoured to be revealing many things at the MWC Expo 2014, including the Samsung Galaxy S5, some rumours have come up that they may do a pre-MWC Expo event where they reveal their first Tizen smartphone officially. The Tizen operating system is Samsung's foray into the mobile operating system market and could help them break free of Android. There have already been some Tizen powered devices in the form of tablets but so far, no official Tizen powered Samsung smartphone has been released yet. This rumour comes due to invites from Tizen backers for an event on 23 February 2014 which is one day before the MWC Expo. The exact quote is:

“an exclusive sneak preview of the newest Tizen devices as well as an opportunity to learn about the major milestones that the Tizen project has hit since last year’s event”

While the quote could be referring to the more recent Tizen powered tablet, many are hoping that it could also mean a Tizen powered smartphone from Samsung. Unfortunately, it probably won't be Tizen 3.0 when the event comes around as this version has been scheduled for Q3 of 2014.
