This project was abandoned in January 2017.

On May 14, 2014, it was announced that Tizen would ship with Qt. In 2014, Samsung released the Gear 2 smartwatch that used a Tizen-based operating system as opposed to Android. The tablet was part of a development kit exclusive to Japan. In October 2013, the first Tizen tablet was shipped by Systena. In February 2013, Samsung merged its Bada operating system into Tizen. In January 2013, Samsung announced its intent to release multiple Tizen-based phones that year. On September 16, 2012, Automotive Grade Linux announced its intent to use Tizen as the basis of its reference distribution. carrier Sprint Corporation (which was a backer of MeeGo) joined the Tizen Association in May 2012.

Tizen would be designed to use HTML5 apps, and target mobile and embedded platforms such as netbooks, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and in-car entertainment systems. In 2011, after Nokia abandoned the project, Linux Foundation initiate the Tizen project as a successor to MeeGo, another Linux-based mobile operating system, with its main backer Intel joining Samsung Electronics, as well as Access Co., NEC Casio, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile, SK Telecom, Telefónica, and Vodafone as commercial partners. Eventually, the operating system was merged with Nokia Maemo, a Debian based Linux distro, into MeeGo which mainly developed by Nokia, Intel and Linux Foundation. However on the same month, Intel turned Moblin over to the Linux Foundation for future development. The project was initiated as mobile Linux and was launched by Intel on July 2007, on April 2009 the operating system had managed to updated to version 2.0 which the core was based on Fedora. Tizen and the mobile software distributions it is related to. In May 2021, Google announced that Samsung would partner with the company on integrating Tizen features with its Android-derived Wear OS, and committed to use it on future wearables. Much of Tizen is open source software, although the software development kit contains proprietary components owned by Samsung, and portions of the OS are licensed under the Flora License, a derivative of the Apache License 2.0 that grants a patent license only to 'Tizen certified platforms'. Samsung merged its previous Linux-based OS effort, Bada, into Tizen, and has since used it primarily on platforms such as wearable devices and smart TVs.

The project was originally conceived as an HTML5-based platform for mobile devices to succeed MeeGo. Tizen ( / ˈ t aɪ z ɛ n/) is a Linux-based mobile operating system backed by the Linux Foundation, mainly developed and used primarily by Samsung Electronics.
