One of the leading names in the Telecom gear market, ‘Nokia OYJ’ has joined hands with Samsung Electronics to offer its latest hi-tech services in digital maps and locations to one of the biggest Korean electronics companies, the Tizen-powered smart devices. Moreover, the ‘HERE’ corporation, a location-based services arm of the company will also provide solutions for the Gear S, Samsung’s new Smart Watch product.
The officials at Nokia confirmed that HERE has made an association with Samsung in order to bring its digital maps and location services to Samsung’s latest Tizen-powered smart devices such as the Gear S. The Gear S features a new and reformed walk navigator by HERE which is an application that allows users to experience turn-by-turn public transit routing with advanced navigation features.
Tizen, on the other hand, is an adaptable and open ended operating system which was launched in competition to the contemporary Android and iOS system software.
Most of Samsung’s latest smartphones utilize android operating system, which is also one of the popular OS in mobile phones today. A few years back, Samsung sets used ‘Bada’ software which couldn’t meet a favorable reception by the general public. This is probably one of the main reasons why Samsung is focusing on Tizen which also happens to have a strong backing by the Intel Corporation.
Samsung is now planning to introduce its first Tizen-powered smartphone at the end of this year. This is a step taken to decrease the reliance and dependency on Google’s highly popular Android operating system. Being the world’s leading smartphone developer, Samsung is ready to launch its new Tizen-supported ‘Samsung Z’ at the end of this year throughout the world.
