SAMSUNG SWITCHING FROM ANDROID TO TIZEN ON THEIR SMART DEVICES. SMART MOVE?

Samsung is the syndicate that has virtually taken the smartphone world with a wave considering its prevalent du jour when high end devices are being reviewed. It's predominance to some, is as exhilarating as it is underwhelming. The chap seated next to you is always caressing a Samsung phone (Yes she will fondle her phone but will threaten to cut off your "transformer" on your slightest attempt to fulfill a foreplay,  phones are that important nowadays!). Simply Samsung phones are everywhere to a point  it creates a superficial thinking which i would consider misplaced, that only Samsung phones are legit! Some of these old Folks  are loyal to Samsung ONLY, and would rather die than try another phone. Reason!?  Samsung is an "Original"  product... Their  creme de la creme! Samsung's  ubiquitous nature is quite plausible but then again its also the very loophole that spearheads its undoing! Samsung clones have become more widespread than the Genuine devices!  I wouldn't  blame the gullible stooges much for buying the cloned devices since even the clones  have been polished to a nearly convincing rendition that actually impairs your judgement on its illegitimacy and lures you into actually believing its the Bomb itself!  Sorry Samsung, but this clown named popularity, decided to stub you on the back a little with clones galore.

The Switch

Is "Ditching" the word here? .. Just maybe... but Samsung plans on having a new a new Operating system which will only render Android discarded if not less prioritised. The new operating system branded  TIZEN will be the new  powerhouse fueling  to the Samsung phones albeit it had already been rolled to some of Samsung devices like the Samsung smart Tv and smartwatches like the Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear 2 Neo

• What is Tizen? 

  

   

Tizen is a Linux based OS(operating system) which is an extension of the linux Mobile project started in 2007.
This OS culminates from a joint effort between Samsung, Intel, Huawei, Vodafone, Telecom, Orange,  Panasonic, NEC, sprint,  KT, Fujitsu and SK. 

• Tizens Strengths

The application framework is based on Bada which supports HTML5 Q7 GTK+ and EFL based apps.
Standard development tools like Javascript and J Query make the development easier too.
Tizen also runs HTML5 apps  that can also run on Android, Firefox Os, Ubuntu Touch and Web Os without necessarily using a browser!

• Reasons for the Switch

Samsung  having invested a batch of resources in terms of Money and time in development of the OS, its time they get the prize of their deliberate effort to nurture Tizen which has now been sufficed enough to run on its devices. There's no better way to show the whole world how dependence is just but for a time space. (Android and Google clicking in the background ).

With Tizen building of gear specific apps becomes unconstrained and the smoothness is only compared to that of blended juice... Something like a "smoothy" operation between Gears and phones like in the case of Galaxy series!  Quite a gratifying  i must say.

Samsung wants to  be the boss... Who doesn't!?  Maybe  and just maybe they loath their affiliation to Android and  Google but they'd rather suck it up for the sake of the business... More money more Power they say... And Samsung would dance to the tune regardless.  Samsung wants to call the shots here and won't have to be at the mercy of Android and Google if they need to integrate a new feature. They will add a new feature whenever they want! Yes Freedom is coming tomorrow!

Will Tizen be the the start or stop of your companionship with Samsung....?

ANDROID M IS JUST ABOUT TO DEBUT... BRACE YOURSELVES FOR THE OVERHAUL, DROID JUNKIES

No sooner had you got the android 5.0 lollipop update on your android gadget than Google announced the release of a new version ANDROID M 6.0 .

Upgrades have become an inevitable ingredient in our daily lives to a point you are inclined to agree with me that this very metamorphosis has been inculcated in virtually all our aspects of existence . A thirsty lad will chase after a damsel in distress with a bigger booty with the hope of eating more groceries than he had initially bargained for! Yes, he will leave his current girlfriend with a rather miniaturized butt and head for the bigger derrières like a boss! Thats an upgrade right there! The upgrade is always humongous , colossal.... it never misses the lager than life intrigue!

Such is the pursuit android is embracing and you better brace yourself for the unremitting upgrades!

Android lollipop became available for upgrade through the OTA (over the air) channel for devices that run ROMS of android serviced by Google e.g the NEXUS and Google play edition devices on November 12 2014. I know for a fact that the likes of Samsung S6 and Sony Xperia Z series have rolled out an update to a lollipop version  as a stock ROM and OTA updates respectively. Since then, high end devices have be catapulting their systems towards the new standards in a bid to offer their loyal clients the royalties that come with the latest versions of android. Yes old is gold but in technology teaching an old dog new tricks is a plus! Lollipop was unveiled and I was caught up in its frenzy since I am a lover of upgrades,

• Read about android lollipop here
  

Six months later a newer version of android has been promulgated and however swift a changeover it may seem you will always be aroused by the magnanimous features you are yet to feel! Its like a bait! Maybe you haven't got the update that elevates you to the saccharine nature of a lollipop and Google are already bombarding you with a cloud nine experience of android M yet you haven't been to “cloud 8 ” yet. You must be crying foul huh? Just in-case you are stressed about it just know there's still a conservative or should I call them archaic   distressed folks running on gingerbread, but still they didn't die!

Here is a breakdown of what you should expect on the Andoid M 6.0

• App permissions

The applications you install on your device all require permissions to use a particular resource on your android system. This is usually defined at the initialization of of an application installation

These app permissions will now be clearly defined such that permissions will now be requested the first time you use a feature . This means that every particular resource that needs permission will have its own trigger on the first instance of use ! Is that cool? Yes … security enhancements will start from there! Apps that maliciously fetch information from your android repository will now be on the leash

• Fingerprint scanners

  

   

Fingerprint support is one feature that many would yearn for in their phone security setup! Yes I know you want that finger to do the talking... just so you can unlock your device seamlessly, stealthily to be precise! Like a boss!

• Android pay 

   

  

   

This googles new mobile payment feature that is designed give a customer a smooth and easier experience during payments in selected stores . With your credit card and a phone that supports NFC and running android kitkat and above payments through American Express Visa master card discover and carriers such as AT&T verizon and T-mobile will be be taken to a whole new level!

• Open with? Dialogue boxes automation

   

You must have tried opening a link only to be thwarted with a dialogue box as your first answer! Then follows a stack of options prompting you to chose an application that you wish to open up the link.

 A new feature that choses the best suited application to open up the link will override that ultimatum. More like ...just spoon-feed me already! If this then that comes into play... if I click a twitter link open up the twitter application with no question. Yes take me to heaven pronto!

• More power less charging?

Your device will be accustomed to a new feature called doze that will lengthen the the standby time by using motion detectors . Android will know if you are not using your phone or if you have dozed off , so that it can start dozing too.. how? By reducing the background processes !

The USB Type-C support will also -ensure faster charging . The interesting part  is  that the phone will also act as a power-hub which only means you can charge another device using your phone! Awesome!

• Auto-backup and restore apps

When the devil sends the agents to come get your phone, you will definitely lose your apps and the unending number of selfies you take with your phone trying to disapprove your camera pixels that you are not as ugly as its trying to put it!(yes if you have to take too many selfies to get the right one .. you are not far from ugly!). Android M will provide for a way through which you can retrieve your apps and other data. This data will be stored on your Google drive and the data will not only be encrypted, it will not not consume the quota of storage you have been allocated by Google!

Other noticeable changes are ;

 

A new application drawer that will display the last four recently used apps and will have a vertical alphabetic navigation on the left. A dark these will also be an option in theme selections

The Android M RAM manager will provide a more elaborate monitor of the RAM usage by individual applications

Adoptable storage will also be employed such that devices will now be able to switch personal. data between internal storage and external storage freely.

Google applications will also have a new touch and apps like Google chrome and Google Now will have a overhaul that might actually scintillate you Google experience!

Is Android M your new crave ? Does it offer what you've been waiting for with bated breath ?
