New partnership with Microsoft aims to expand app availability on Tizen

Looking back on Samsung and their activities in 2016, the company kicked out some pretty solid handsets, Albeit for the debacle with the Note 7, the Galaxy S7 series, Gear S3, Gear Fit 2, and Gear IconX all brought something new and fresh to the table. They may not all be the best devices in their class, but each one certainly has something unique and interesting to bring to the table. Although 2016 may be on its way out the door, Samsung hasn't stopped with their efforts in the mobile landscape. The company recently announced that they would be investing a grand total of $9 million to get more developers to create apps for their Tizen operation system, and in a recent announcement that Samsung would be partnering up with Microsoft, it looks like Sammy is taking even more steps to do something once and for all about the lack of apps for their own OS.
