What are the mobile phone operating systems and what is the mainstream now?

There are four different smartphone operating systems in the market, namely:

1, Symbian operating system (UIQ, 60 series, 80 series, 90 series)

2、Windows Mobile

3.Linux operating system

4. Palm

5. Apple

6. Google

Symbian operating system

Needless to say, everyone can feel that Symbian operating system is the most widely used operating system in the field of mobile phones, and there are quite a few interfaces for different users, which is often called series. Regarding the interface of Symbian operating system, there are always many people who are at a loss about its division rules. Next, briefly introduce the typical characteristics of each system version.

Firstly, a concept is defined: Series60, Series80, series 90 and UIQ are all interfaces developed based on Symbian platform, and then they are distinguished according to some hardware characteristics. It is rumored that Nokia may launch Series50 and Series 100 interfaces, but its authenticity is still uncertain.

Series 60

Series 60

It is the most widely used system version in Symbian smartphones. Series60 system is also divided into three versions: Symbian 6.0OSSeries60, Symbian 7.0 OS Series60 and Symbian 8.0 OS Series60.

The most intuitive factor to distinguish Series60 is the resolution of the screen. The resolution supported by Series60 is 176*208 pixels, but in the future, Series60 will support 240*320 pixels, 352*4 16 pixels and so on.

Series 60

Interface is the most frequently used interface with third-party software or games, and naturally becomes the most frequently used series of smart phones with Symbian operating system.

The models of mobile phones using Series60 interface are not listed here. Only a considerable part of Nokia's smartphones use the Series60 interface.

Series 80

The easiest way to identify the Series80 interface is to see if the mobile phone supports QWERTYKEYBROAD. For example, Nokia's high-end series 92 10, 9300 and even 9500 all adopt QWERTYKEYBROAD. The screen resolution of Series80 is also special 640*200 pixels.

Series 90

Series 90

It is the youngest interface on Symbian platform, and only Nokia 7700 and 77 10 phones support Series90.

The easiest way to identify the Series90 interface is that Symbian smartphones will use a touch screen with a resolution of 640*320 pixels.

Judging from the hardware parameters of Series90, it should be the strongest platform for mobile game entertainment. However, because there are too few mobile phones with Series90 interface and the support of third-party software is not very strong, Series60 should still be the first choice for players.

Windows Mobile

Accurately speaking, Windows Mobile is not an operating system, but a brand owned by Microsoft.

Windows Mobile

Its predecessor was WindowsCE introduced by Microsoft in 1996. In the second quarter of 2000, Microsoft WindowsCE officially broke away from the dependence on Palm, renamed Windows CE as WindowsPocketPC (abbreviated as PPC), and then began the marriage with smart phones.

In 2003, Microsoft developed Pocket Phone Edition and Windows PoweredSmartPhone operating system, and the integration of them is strictly Windows Mobile.

Linux operating system

Although Symbian has occupied half of the smart phone market, the seemingly weak Linux operating system also has quite outstanding advantages. Its advantages are as follows:

1, the Linux operating system applied to smart phones and the Linux operating system we often say applied to computers are a system, and both are free operating systems. Free on the operating system means saving the production cost of the product.

2. It is generally believed that Linux operating system has low system resource occupancy and stable performance. If the system resource occupation of Linux platform is compared with the huge WindowsMobile, the result can be imagined.

3. The integration of 3.Linux operating system and JAVA is unmatched by any operating system. The application mode of Linux+JAVA can give users a lot of room for expansion.

However, the Linux operating system is not perfect. Because the Linux operating system entered the field of smart phones late, only a few mobile phones (such as A780, E680, A768i) use this operating system, so there are very few third-party software specially customized for these small users, which affects the expansion of the Linux operating system in the field of smart phones.

Palm operating system

The mobile phone with Palm operating system is actually a "handheld computer with mobile phone function", and its operating system is no different from the previous handheld computer based on Palm operating system.

Palm operating system is adopted by some non-mainstream vendors in the field of smart phones, such as HP. Although Samsung introduced the SCH-i539, its prospects are not good.

The low evaluation of Palm operating system smartphones is largely due to its scalability. Although the Palm operating system has been developed for a long time, many of its functions need to be coordinated by third-party software, which is obviously much worse than Symbian and Linux. Therefore, the development of Palm operating system in the field of smart phones is not smooth sailing. No wonder we call it "PDA with mobile phone function" instead of "mobile phone with PDA function".
