Samsung Developer Conference 2021: what to expect
Samsung is diving the conference’s highlight sessions into three groups: Platforms Designed For Connected Experiences, Innovating Mobile Experience Across Samsung Galaxy Ecosystem, and The Evolution of Tizen and Innovative Screen Experiences. The first group will explore the cross-device experience of Bixby and SmartThings. Samsung will provide updates on how it plans to leverage these AI-powered solutions to build a connected Smart Home experience. We will then have the company talking about the innovations in mobile software. The Android 12-based One UI 4 will be a talking point but Samsung will also discuss the foldable devices. With the number of foldable devices in the market growing steadily, many developers would be wanting to optimize their apps to adapt to the new form factor. The Korean company will take a look at it. Lastly, Samsung will discuss its Tizen operating system that powers its Smart TV lineup. The company will provide updates on the latest version of the platform, Tizen 6.5. In addition to this, Samsung will host Tech Talk sessions where developers will be able to talk to the company’s top experts for industry insights.
