The first Tizen smartphone isn’t an “Android killer”—it’s a bad Android clone (ars technica)

Here's an extensive review of Samsung's first Tizen-based phone on ars technica. They are not overly impressed. "New OSes always have problems, usually with app selection and hardware availability, but they're supposed to make up for their ecosystem problems by bringing something new to the table. Windows Phone had a new interface style. Blackberry 10 devices have a small but vocal built-in fanbase, well-made hardware with physical keyboards, and lots of enterprise experience. But Tizen doesn't have any stand-out aspect. It's all the negatives of a new OS without any of the positives."
