WiFi Alliance certificate teases Tizen flavored Samsung Galaxy S III

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/22/wifi-alliance-certificate-teases-tizen-flavored-galaxy-s3/)

Ever wondered what Samsung's flagship [Galaxy S III](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/25/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review/) phone might be like, if it ran another OS? Okay, arguably something [along those lines](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/29/samsung-announces-ativ-s-a-4-8-inch-windows-phone-8-device/) is already under way, but if a curious [WiFi Alliance ](http://www.engadget.com/tag/wifi+alliance)certification entry is to be understood, [Tizen](http://www.engadget.com/tag/tizen) might have made its way on to the phone already. The hook here is the product name. The GS III also goes by the less snappy moniker of [GT-I9300](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GT-I9300), and it's the appearance of GT-I9300_TIZEN in the certification list that has got chins wagging. Of course, a stamp from the WiFI Alliance means little out here in the real world, where everything is still looking rather Android, but it doesn't hurt to imagine the Koreans experimenting with idea, and it [wouldn't be the first time either](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/14/tizen-gets-play-time-on-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-hd-lte-shows-off-ne/).
