Samsung, which has already sold more than 10 million Samsung Galaxy devices since 2010, has confirmed this news by saying that Korean mobile device developers are going to bring these Tizen based Operating System in the market by 2013.
According to Japanese newspaper journal, Daily Yomiuri, “Docomo, which is the largest telecom company of Japan, is currently the only mobile carrier which does not serve Apple’s iPhone. Hence, a large amount of people are looking for some sort of mobile alternates. Thus, Samsung is looking forward for a great response from the same situation.”
