During its keynote, the company talked near all of the improvements that information technology has made to the Tizen platform over the years and the vision that it has for Tizen 4.0. Information technology also showcased a couple of hardware products at the conference.

The visitor has shared some interesting stats nearly its Tizen-powered smartphones at TDC 2017 today. Tizen smartphones were get-go released in India earlier gradually being expanded to countries in South East Asia and Africa.

Samsung revealed today that Tizen smartphones are performing actually well in India. Sales were upward 30 pct in 2016 and over 100 percent in 2017 so far. It sees even faster growth in the time to come. Samsung too pointed out that while Tizen smartphones got their start in India, they "volition be available to all countries in the globe somewhen."

That'southward a pretty significant argument from the company. It has only released low-end Tizen smartphones and so far and that too in only a handful of markets. While there has been speculation about a high-stop Tizen smartphone, it may never become a reality unless Samsung is eyeing a global launch for such a production.

Apps are what makes a platform great today and Samsung certainly knows that. It promises that at that place will be 10x as many Tizen apps this year than in that location were in 2016.
