Samsung to debut Gear 2 smartwatch with Tizen, not Android

Sorry, Android, but you just got some more competition in wearables.
A new version of Samsung's Gear smartwatch will run the company's Tizen software instead of Google's Android operating system, people familiar with the matter said.
Samsung will unveil the device at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, the people said. Samsung also has been working on a Tizen-based smartphone to introduce at the show, as well as other Tizen devices for the first half of the year, people familiar with the products said.
However, Samsung's plans still could change, and the Galaxy S5 will be the star of the show at Samsung's Unpacked event on Monday. The company also is developing other wearables, such as fitness bands, that it may show at Mobile World Congress or in the coming months, sources said.
