Operating system is a key element of smart devices such as mobile phones. When it comes to smartphones, there are only two known operating systems: Android, made by Google and iPhone-exclusive iOS, made by Apple. While several OEMs use Android OS, is it the right time for Samsung to Galaxy OS creation?
iOS is amazing, at a point, and it’s solely dedicated and exclusively available for Apple-made iPhones. Android, on the other hand, is open source, which is created by the internet giant – Google. It brings a lot of useful features and possibilities over iOS but has critical security flaws, reason – open source.
Since scratch, Samsung is dependent on Google for the Android operating system for its Galaxy mobile phones. A few years back, it tried to promote the Tizen OS-based smartphones, but they didn’t survive in front of the Android storm, as result, the company stopped using Tizen OS.
One UI
Back in 2019, Samsung announced the termination of the traditional Touchwiz software system, based on Android, for the Galaxy devices, and here begin a new era – One UI. Starting Android 9-based One UI 1, the Android 13 upgrade is confirmed to reach Galaxies entitled One UI 5.0.
Since the One UI 5.0 is also based on Android 13, Google seemingly delaying the Beta program for the Galaxy consumers, not directly, but indirectly for sure. Samsung is waiting for Google’s official Android 13 announcement to initiate its One UI Beta for 2022.
HarmonyOS, an example
It’s noteworthy that the Chinese phone maker Huawei managed to introduce its own developed HarmonyOS operating system, on paper. The so-called self-grown OS is available for Chinese Huawei devices, and the company has recently announced its 3rd generation, reports Huawei Central.
Galaxy OS, made by Samsung
Android is unquestionably an amazing mobile platform for now, but, Samsung needs to take a bold move now and create a new operating system – EXCLUSIVE FOR GALAXY DEVICES. The company never said anything like – Galaxy OS, but everyone knows the Galaxy name is nothing without Samsung, at least in the tech world.
Samsung has destroyed Google’s authority in various segments such as monthly security patches, Beta programs, and the fastest Android OS deployment. Even, the former vendor is helping the search giant to develop new features in the Android operating system, in addition to active participation in Fuchsia OS.
Should Samsung challenge Android?
It’s a big challenge to rival Android as there is a heavy crew of developers and researchers. Samsung has a great applications ecosystem, but it can’t meet the users’ expectations, but Google Mobile Services can.
