South
Korean electronics giant Samsung is starting domestic sales of
televisions powered by its internally developed operating system.
Samsung said sales of Tizen-powered ultra-HD TVs began Thursday in South
Korea. The new TVs come in four sizes from 55-inch diagonally to
88-inch. The smallest model costs 5.49 million won ($5,047).
The
products were announced last month at a trade show in Las Vegas. The
move represents Samsung’s expansion of its internally developed
operating system into living rooms and eventually into kitchens and
other corners of the home.
Kim
Hyun-seok, head of Samsung’s TV business, said all of Samsung’s
Internet-connected TVs will be powered by Tizen this year, as well as
refrigerators, washing machines and robotic vacuums cleaners.
Earlier,
Samsung had collaborated with Intel Security to secure their Tizen
smartphones. A research by Intel Security found that the manipulation of
legitimate mobile apps and services has played a key role in the
expansion of mobile malware.
The
need for robust security options to detect threats across multiple
operating systems is a necessity now. The latest version of McAfee
Mobile Security for Android, iOS and Tizen devices enables consumers to
run instant privacy and security scans, as well as allowing users to
easily remove the apps that may pose the most significant risks.
