Hello,

Yes, I had the same question. According to the documentation (https://developer.tizen.org/development/tutorials/web-application/w3chtml5supplementary-features/device/deviceorientation-event-specification?langredirect=1), 

Detecting Device Rotation

Use the device orientation event to detect when the user rotates the device.

Detecting Device Acceleration

Use the device motion event to detect when the user accelerates the device.

 

I've also saw video (http://www.downloadtizenapps.com/2015/10/tutorial-device-orientation-on-tizen-see-video.html), where I've heard the following information: 

deviceorientation provides the physical device orientation;

devicemotion is the acceleration of the device.
