Samsung
The big Tizen news from Samsung is the expected unveil of their next Samsung Tizen Smartwatch, codenamed Orbis SM-R720, which should be on display at both the Tizen Association and Samsung booths. This is the first Samsung Smartwatch to support a round face, roatating bezel and wireless charging. Samsung will be showcasing the Samsung Z1, NX1 & NX300M Smart Camera, at the Tizen Association Booth #8.1, located in Hall H65. We hope that they do have a demo of their Tizen TV, but that might be at the Samsung stand at MWC.
