Tizen 3.0 new icons

Samsung's Tizen OS does seem to make waves everywhere it's available across the globe, even if that means just several emerging markets. The more recent Tizen-related news is the announcement of a new smartphone, the Samsung Z4.

The new Samsung Z4 would be the first smartphone to ship with Tizen 3.0 operating system right out of the box. Tizen 3.0 OS hasn't been officially released for any other smartphones yet, but its launch seems imminent.

To keep the momentum after the unveil of the Z4, Samsung is now teasing some of the new features coming with Tizen 3.0 OS at some point in the coming weeks.

First of all, Tizen 3.0 contains a new set of themes, which are inspired by the global and Indian trends of colors. The icons have been redesigned to be minimal and lighter, while the widgets layout will feature a modern look, much different than the traditional design.

New wallpapers will be added in the form of “My Galaxy Stories,” an app that will automatically change the wallpapers every third time the screen is turned on.

Camera beauty mode will provide users with a new option to enhance the selfies or the pictures taken with the primary camera. Moreover, you will be able to choose the enhancements while capturing the photos.

With Tizen 3.0, users will be able to create separate profiles for SIM dependent apps and manage them on your single Tizen-powered smartphone. Another interesting new feature added by Samsung is voice interactions, which will allow users to take advantage of voice commands to perform faster actions on the phone.

Since Samsung has already started to tease most of the new features in the Tizen 3.0 OS, we expect the South Korean company to push it as an update to all compatible smartphones very soon.
