This is what IT-related news site Ars Technica reported as Scoop, and it seems that screenshots and images are sent from people working at Intel. In the article, there is a movie which shuts down the smartphone once and restarts it.

Home screen, let me finish from here once ... ....


Reboot. Intel's logo first appeared.


During startup……


Tizen's logo is displayed ......


Slide the lock screen, lock on the bottom of the screen to release ... ....


I came back to the home screen.


Below are some of the screenshots. This is a contact list (address book).


When you select a registered name, the icon of "Make a call", "Send message" and "Settings" is displayed.


A message indicating a missed call from "Test".


Icons on the home screen seem to be the default with square corners, so that you can arrange 20 horizontal 4 × vertical 5 besides you can also put widgets like this.


The OS of the terminal used in the story to Ars Technica is Tizen, Linux · Samsung · Intel is going to be deployed, NTT DoCoMo plans to release compatible models in Japan, but for now There are no terminals shipped. As I looked at the screenshot, it seems that the development of Obsidian is still in the process, the characteristic is that three icons of calls, messages and people are lining at the bottom of the home screen.

Also, in Android it is "Notice" displayed on the bar at the top of the screen, but with this UI you can distinguish by tilting the icon 45 degrees and making the bottom edge red. In the screenshot below, only the "Phone" icon is diagonal, so you can see that something happened.


When you open the contact list, you will be able to tell from the "Test 2" "Test contact" that there was a contact by just looking at the icon.


It is said that the Obsidian UI is going to run on Tizen 2.0, but the information source says that it is unknown when Intel is officially announcing the release date of Tizen.
