Tizen (/ˈ t aɪ z ɛ n / ) is a Linux-based operating system primarily developed bySamsung Electronics and supported by theLinux Foundation .
The project was originally conceived as anHTML5 -based platform for mobile devices to succeedMeeGo . It was backed by other companies under theTizen Association . Samsung merged its previous Linux-based OS effort,Bada , into Tizen and has since used it primarily on platforms such aswearable devices andsmart TVs .
Much of Tizen isopen source software , although thesoftware development kit contains proprietary components owned by Samsung, and portions of the OS are licensed under theFlora License , a derivative of theApache License 2.0 that grants a patent license only to "Tizen-certified platforms".
In May 2021,Google announced thatSamsung would partner with the company on integrating Tizen features into Google'sAndroid -derivedWear OS and committed to using it on future wearables, leaving Tizen to be mainly developed for Samsung Smart TVs.[ 3]

Tizen and the mobile software distributions it is related to The project was initiated asmobile Linux and was launched byIntel in July 2007. In April 2009 the operating system updated to version 2.0 which was based onFedora . However, in the same month, Intel turned Moblin over to theLinux Foundation for future development. Eventually, the operating system was merged withNokia Maemo , aDebian based Linux distro, intoMeeGo which was mainly developed by Nokia, Intel and Linux Foundation.
In 2011, after Nokia abandoned the project, Linux Foundation initiated the Tizen project as a successor to MeeGo, another Linux-based mobile operating system, with its main backer Intel joiningSamsung Electronics , as well asAccess Co. ,NEC Casio ,NTT DoCoMo ,Panasonic Mobile ,SK Telecom ,Telefónica , andVodafone as commercial partners. Tizen would be designed to useHTML5 apps, and target mobile and embedded platforms such asnetbooks , smartphones, tablets,smart TVs , andin-car entertainment systems.[ 4] U.S. carrierSprint Corporation (which was a backer of MeeGo) joined theTizen Association in May 2012.[ 5] On September 16, 2012,Automotive Grade Linux announced its intent to use Tizen as the basis of its reference distribution.[ 6]
In January 2013, Samsung announced its intent to release multiple Tizen-based phones that year. In February 2013, Samsung merged itsBada operating system into Tizen.[ 7] [ 8]
In October 2013, the first Tizen tablet was shipped by Systena. The tablet was part of a development kit exclusive to Japan.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
In 2014, Samsung released theGear 2 smartwatch that used a Tizen-based operating system as opposed toAndroid .[ 12]
On May 14, 2014, it was announced that Tizen would ship with Qt.[ 13] This project was abandoned in January 2017.[ 14]
On February 21, 2016, Samsung announced the Samsung Connect Auto, aconnected car solution offering diagnostic,Wi-Fi , and other car-connected services. The device plugs directly into theOBD-II port underneath the steering wheel.[ 15]

According to Strategy Analytics research, approximately 21% of the smart TVs sold in 2018 run on the Tizen platform making it the most popular smart TV platform.[ 17]
On May 19, 2021, duringGoogle I/O , Google announced that Samsung had agreed to work on integrating features of Tizen with the next version ofWear OS , and that it had committed to using Wear OS for its future wearable products.[ 18] [ 19] [ 20] Samsung will continue to use Tizen for its smart TVs.[ 21]
On December 31, 2021, the Tizen app store permanently closed.[ 22] The last smartphone based on the Tizen operating system is theSamsung Z4 which was released in 2017. The company switched to Google'sWear OS 3 platform on itsGalaxy Watch 4 smartwatches.[ 23] [ 24]
