I am not really a phone guy, so i have NO idea what Tizen is. But Samsung needs Tizen in order to lower its reliance on Google Android operating system. As far as i understand, HTML5 apps are essential to the success of Tizen, and there are almost none out there.

According to Samsung, the Tizen platform will be a success if it accounts for 15 per cent of the company’s smartphone shipments.

 

Samsung planned to launch a Tizen-powered smartphone back in 2013, but after numerous delays the product is still not on the market. According to the company, market conditions were not good for a launch of a brand new handset, which is why the firm had to cancel its introductions and reconsider its plans.

They said converting Android apps to run on Tizen was really easy. In fact, there is a program for it that does it automatically. I hope Tizen really becomes something. Not that I want to buy a Tizen phone, I just want more competition.
