Samsung and Google announced earlier this week that Samsung’s Galaxy smartwatch series will abandon Samsung’s own Tizen OS and use Google’s Wear OS instead. The official said that the purpose of this is to improve the compatibility of the watch with third-party applications and improve the experience of the smart watch.
As Samsung’s Tizen OS is also widely used in Samsung’s smart TVs, some media asked whether Samsung will also abandon this system on TVs, but Samsung said yesterday that it would not be the case. Simply put, the partnership between Google and Samsung only revolves around smartwatches and has nothing to do with Tizen OS on Samsung TVs. A Samsung spokesperson said, “Tizen is still the default platform for our future smart TVs.”

Samsung’s report shows that in 2020, the brand’s smart TV sales accounted for 31.8% of the global market, maintaining its position as the world’s largest TV brand for 15 consecutive years. As of the end of 2020, 12.7% of smart TVs worldwide are equipped with Samsung’s Tizen OS, which is currently the most widely used smart TV operating system.
At the same time, Google recently revealed that there are currently more than 80 million devices equipped with the Android TV system in the world, but there is still a significant gap compared with Samsung’s 155 million.
