Samsung Tizen operating system for smart TVs (pictures)

All 2015 Samsung Smart TVs will include an all-new Smart TV system powered by Tizen, Samsung's open-source operating system used on smart watches and a few phones. Highlights include a simpler, one-screen user interface and faster response times. Here are some early screenshots.

Samsung's upgraded Smart TV remote is smaller and has fewer buttons than its predecessor, but still includes motion control.

A band of recently used apps and content form the heart of the OS.

Here's a look at YouTube.

In each quadrant of the screen is an icon that leads to basic functions.

There's also an extensive onscreen keyboard and shortcut menu.
