Samsung is launching 'several' more Tizen smartphones this year

Recommended Posts

It's tempting to think of Tizen as an also-ran in the smartphone world next to powerhouses like Android and iOS, but that's not entirely true when Samsung has sold 1 million Z1 phones in India since January. In fact, there are now signs that the Korean firm is doubling down on its partly in-house platform: Reuters sources hear that Samsung is planning to release "several" more Tizen phones later this year at a range of prices. While there aren't more details yet, the move suggests that Samsung is confident that it can expand Tizen's audience relatively quickly.

There's certainly a lot of pressure to do that. Samsung has been on less-than-friendly terms with Google because of its sometimes aggressive attempts to build an ecosystem on top of Android. The more Tizen phones Samsung sells, the more it reduces its dependence on someone else's platform for success -- it can promote its own services and stand out in a market where almost everyone else is relying on Google software. You probably won't be buying a flagship-class Tizen phone any time soon, but it's evident that Samsung is determined to avoid Bada's slow fade into obscurity.

      An app that I would like to download and use (CAIWAY WebTV) is only supported by Tizen OS 5.0, but my Samsung TV is running on Tizen 4.0, so the app cannot be found. I updated the TV software to the latest version, but this does not update the Tizen OS itself. Is there a way to update the Tizen OS itself?

      As to play the youtube video we need to use the youtube iframe, we are facing challenge here. When the youtube video plays on the TV, we lose control over app and hence next video as per CMS does not play. Same happens vice versa i.e when a video from CMS starts playing we are not able to play youtube video if it is next in the list.

      Hey.
      I want to send through an video feed through WebRTC, this feed is renderd on a canvas, it seems that the Tizen TV can't send through video in this way, can anyone help me with this?
      Interesting note: The rendering itself seems good, because I can rerender it in a <video> element using the stream from the canvas.

      I've tried:
      - Direct capture the stream from the canvas with the captureStream()
      - Indirect capture stream from the video element
       
      The goal is to send through my entire app's image throuh WebRTC but if I want to use the navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia() it returns with the "Requested device not found".
