Tizen operating system debut nears

SAMSUNG Electronics Co said on Monday it will begin selling a smartphone that runs on its Tizen operating system in the third quarter of this year, advancing the company’s plans to reduce dependence on Google’s Android software.

Samsung, the world’s top smartphone maker by sales volume, said the smartphone called Samsung Z will go on sale in Russia first. It plans to sell the phone in other countries but didn’t name them.

Unlike Apple Inc, with its own operating system, Samsung’s popular Galaxy smartphones and tablets use Google’s open source Android platform, a reliance that prevents Samsung from challenging the dominance of Apple’s App Store and Google Play in the lucrative market for smartphone apps.
