Samsung won't drop Tizen for Android TV

While Samsung won't be using Tizen for its smartwatches, that won't be the same for its TVs. Samsung denied reports that the company planned to switch to Android TV from Tizen. A Samsung spokesperson told Engadget, "Tizen still is the default platform for our smart TVs going forward." It isn't surprising as the wearables and TV markets are different, and Samsung maintains a dominant position in the latter. And operating systems on televisions aren't top of mind for consumers looking for new TVs.
