Sources tell USA Today that Samsung is going to make a very public break with Google and its Android mobile operating system at this year’s Mobile World Congress, between Feb. 24 and 27 in Barcelona. If the anonymously-sourced rumor proves true, Samsung will announce that its much-maligned Galaxy Gear smartwatch will be getting a much-needed upgrade, and will lose the Android operating system it was running on.

In its place, Samsung’s updated Gear would run the Tizen mobile operating system, an open-source alternative to Android that Samsung has been pushing hard, apparently in a bid to wean itself from a dependence on Android as the primary operating system for its smartphones.

Images of a forthcoming Tizen-powered smartphone from Samsung have already leaked, though that release appears to have been delayed repeatedly.
