Samsung announced its new Tizen device – a smartwatch successor to the Android-powered Galaxy Gear. Was that it? Turns out it's not, not if you peek under the covers.
An ExtremeTech writer spotted a Tizen-running Samsung phone at what seems to be the Tizen App Challenge event. Note that the photo isn't particularly clear and there's no way to tell if it's a Galaxy phone running Tizen.
Nope, fat lot of nothing at the #Tizen event. The new smartwatches aren't even here. #mwc2014 pic.twitter.com/rNKeWSL9Yg

Still, the OS is clearly capable of running on phone hardware (ignoring the question of mobile connectivity for a moment). Will we actually see a Tizen phone tomorrow when Samsung's event will be held?
We'll keep our eyes peeled, until then the Galaxy S5 is still at the top of the list.
Hmm, I'm wondering if there will be option to buy Tizen based phone that will be not larger than 4". I don't know why but right now I don't think that everyone forget that there are ppl that needs to use phone with only one hand :/
