[Poll Results!] Do you think it's a good idea for Samsung to switch from Android to Tizen?

It has been rumored multiple times that Samsung is eventually going to move away from Android and adopt Tizen as the primary platform for all of its devices. We're already seeing Tizen-powered wearable and Internet of Things devices but Samsung is sticking with Android for smartphones and tablets. Recent comments from a senior Samsung executive suggest that the company has still not given up on the idea of gradually giving Tizen a bigger role in its mobile business, so we have to ask you what you think about the idea? Should Samsung make the switch or is it better off with Android? Vote and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Poll Results: As expected, the majority of our readers think it will be bad for Samsung to leave the Android ecosystem and others believe that Tizen just can't compete with Android. Only a small minority says they are willing to try Tizen as long as it has the necessary social media apps.
