In Pictures: The twisted tale of Tizen mobile OS

A new OS has been in development since the start of 2012

Tizen finds a home

In January, screenshots of a very early build of the Tizen OS running on a Samsung smartphone called the I9500 were leaked. On May 8, Samsung revealed a developer device, which appeared to be the I9500, running Tizen -- this phone has a 4.3-inch screen and reportedly ran on a dual-core ARM-based 1.2 GHz processor. On May 14, Samsung demonstrated Tizen at a news event -- this time on a Galaxy S II HD LTE. As of this writing, no company has announced when they will release a Tizen device.
