What mobile operating system is stronger in mobile phones now?

Comparison of four major smartphone operating systems Symbian Symbian is a joint venture company funded by Motorola, Siemens, Nokia and other large mobile communication equipment vendors, specializing in developing mobile operating systems. The predecessor of Saipan operating system is EPOC, which comes from the first letter of e-cheese. Its original meaning is "using electronic products can be as simple as eating cheese", which is the concept it adheres to when designing. Symbian operating system has powerful application programs and communication capabilities on intelligent mobile terminals, which are all due to its very sound core ―― powerful object-oriented system, standard enterprise communication transmission protocol and perfect sun java language. Symbian believes that wireless communication devices should not only provide voice communication, but also have other communication methods, such as stylus and keyboard. In hardware design, it can provide many different styles of appearance, such as using a real or virtual keyboard. In software function, it can accommodate many functions, including sharing information with others, browsing the web, transmitting, receiving emails, faxes and managing personal life. In addition, Symbian operating system reserves a variety of interfaces for manufacturers in terms of expansibility, and EPOC operating system can be subdivided into three types: Pearl/Shi Ying/Crystal, which respectively correspond to ordinary mobile phones, smart phones and handheld PC applications. Symbian is mainly divided into two intelligent platforms, one is S60 suitable for one-handed operation, and the representative products are Nokia 7650 and 3650; The other is S80 operated by two hands, which represents Nokia's 92 10, mainly for business users. In addition, there is another platform UIQ on Symbian, which is mainly based on pen operation. The representative product is P802 from Sony Ericsson. By June 30th, 2004, 34 mobile phones and related products based on Symbian operating system developed by 65,438+00 authorized companies are ready to enter the market. (2nd quarter of 2003: 26 mobile phones and 9 authorized companies). At the beginning of July, the new changes in equity of Symbian was as follows: Ericsson's equity changed from 17.5% to15.6%; Sony Ericsson changed from 1.5% to13.1%; Nokia changed from 32.2% to 47.9%; Panasonic changed from 7.9 to10.5%; Psion changed from 3 1. 1% to 0.0%; Samsung changed from 5.0% to 4.5%, and Siemens changed from 4.8% to 8.4%. Motorola sold its stake in Saipan system at the beginning of the year. Linux OS Linux, with its advantages of free, free and open source code, has sprung up in the mobile phone operating system market with the efforts of programmers from the Internet and the support of computer giants such as IBM and Sun. Especially after many well-known manufacturers announced their support for Linux mobile operating system, the development of Linux can not be ignored. Because Linux has the advantages of open source code, low software licensing cost and rich application development talent resources, it is convenient to develop personal and industrial applications. This function is very important, because rich applications reflect the advantages and key selling points of smart phones. From the perspective of application development, because the source code of Linux is open, it is beneficial for independent software developers (ISV) to develop application software with high hardware utilization efficiency and more powerful functions, and it is also convenient for industry users to develop their own secure and controllable authentication system. Especially when a large number of smart phones are used as mobile terminals for industrial applications, the security strategy of system integration can be easily realized by using Linux. The typical representative of embedded Linux system is Motorola's smartphone A760. Windows Mobile Windows Mobile includes PDA, smart phone and PDA phone. Windows Mobile has multimedia functions such as recording, audio and video playback. Because most models support color display, it consumes a lot of power, and because Windows CE itself devours resources, Windows CE system is obviously inferior to Palm operating system in energy consumption. In terms of function expansion, Microsoft tends to use it in an integrated way, and most of them have standard CF card slots. Users can increase memory and install cameras, modems and other equipment according to their own needs. For domestic users, the Chinese operating system of Windows Moblie is relatively mature. At present, Motorola, ARM, ST, NeoMagic, Texas Instruments, Intel, Samsung and Hyundai have all produced processors for this system. Dozens of manufacturers produce mobile devices based on smart phones and PDA technology, and 35 operators distribute these products. Smartphones have been sold in Europe, East Asia and Canada. Windows CE Windows CE (commonly known as Lizard) is the general name for the operating system OS of Microsoft consumer electronic devices. It is an embedded operating system with preemptive multitasking and strong communication ability. It is a strategic operating system product designed by Microsoft for non-PC fields such as information equipment, mobile applications, consumer electronics products and embedded applications. Smartphone is a new mobile operating system platform developed by Microsoft. This smart phone solution provides voice, data and multimedia functions for mobile phone users. By combining with Microsoft's back-end servers and services, it can become the main platform for mobile business people and enterprise users to use small mobile phones to realize mobile services and access the Internet. Different from its other operating system, Pocket PC Phone Edition, the smartphone with Windows Powered Smartphone as its operating system has no stylus and touch screen, and is replaced by a numeric keyboard, which embodies the concept of one-handed control. It also does not support document editing functions such as pocket Word and Excel, and pays more attention to mobile Internet and entertainment functions. Palm OS Palm OS is a 32-bit embedded operating system of Palm Company. Its operating interface is touch-controlled. Almost all control options are arranged on the screen, and all operations can be carried out with a stylus. As an extremely open system, developers provide users with free development tools for Palm operating system, allowing users to use this tool to write and modify related software based on Palm operating system, thus making applications supporting Palm colorful and comprehensive. The most obvious advantage of Palm operating system is that it is a special Linux smartphone operating system, and the operating systems of Microsoft and Symbian will be unified. It is precisely because of their monopoly that various applications and interfaces can be unified. Although Linux has the advantages of open source code, it also leads to the emergence of various systems and application software, which increases the difficulty of interconnection. The joint efforts of major enterprises are a key step to solve this problem. This is undoubtedly a major event that happened in the Linux camp of smartphone operating system. It is understood that the Linux operating system in the global smart phone field originally had three relatively important forces: Motorola determined that Linux was the main mobile phone operating system from the sale of Symbian shares, and began to cooperate with TrollTech from MOTO A760. Now Motorola has sold more than 5 million mobile phones running Linux; PalmSource, which has accumulated a certain amount in the field of personal operating system, transferred the mobile phone operating system from PalmSource to Linux after acquiring Nanjing Software. Japanese company NTT DoCoMo regards Linux as the main operating system of its next smart phone, and established a Linux alliance with NEC and Panasonic four to five years ago, but this alliance is more confined to Japan. As for Samsung Electronics and other companies, although they support the Linux operating system, they are not particularly tough in decision-making and market behavior. June 5438+last year 10, Japanese mobile phone software company Access bought PalmSource in cash. Not Dokomo is not only Ai Xin's main customer, but also an important investor. After the completion of the acquisition, NTT DoCoMo immediately increased the capital of Aikexin. This move can also show that Aiken's acquisition of PalmSource is actually the expansion of NTT DoCoMo's strength in Linux operating system. Linux smartphone operating system has completed the first step of integration. Today, the joint efforts of the six giants can be seen as a handshake between the Linux camp led by Motorola and the Linux camp centered on NTT DoCoMo. So far, every Linux mobile phone manufacturer is still using its own mobile phone operating system developed on the basis of Linux kernel. This situation directly leads to the fact that although all smart phones are based on Linux operating system, it is still difficult to achieve interoperability between various systems and application software, and mobile operators have to check these applications and software separately during testing. The alliance of Motorola, NEC, Samsung and Panasonic aims to solve this problem. Linux has a natural price advantage because of open source code, but it has not developed well because of artificial barriers set by enterprises in the past. Take China market as an example, it is still almost monopolized by Symbian and Microsoft. However, the domestic mobile phone industry still has great interest in open source Linux, and mobile phone companies such as ZTE and Haier have clearly announced their support for Linux as the operating system of smart phones. Although Lenovo Mobile has launched a smartphone based on Microsoft Windows Mobile, it is also developing a Linux operating system. Even Datang Mobile has plans to promote Linux-based mobile operating system on TD-SCDMA mobile phones. The alliance between the four major mobile phone manufacturers and the two major mobile operators can also play a positive role in further developing Linux smart phones for China mobile phone enterprises. Linux smartphone operating system is expected to be unified. 7 major operating systems competition Perhaps smart phones are not the mainstream of mobile phones now, but they will inevitably become the mainstream of the future mobile phone market! Because the functions of mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful, many friends are at a loss when choosing smart phones and don't know which operating system to choose. Here, icech collected and sorted out seven mainstream smartphone operating systems, and added comments from netizens on their advantages and disadvantages. Symbian OS (Symbian OS) Symbian OS (Chinese transliteration "Symbian System") is a joint venture established by several large mobile communication equipment manufacturers, such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Siemens, which specializes in developing mobile phone operating systems. The predecessor of Symbian operating system is EPOC, and EPOC comes from the first electronic letter of Cheese. Its original intention is "using electronic products can be as simple as eating cheese", which is the concept it adheres to when designing. Symbian operating system has powerful applications and communication capabilities on smart mobile terminals, which are all due to its very sound core-powerful object-oriented system, enterprise-oriented standard communication transmission protocol and perfect sun java language. Symbian believes that wireless communication devices should not only provide voice communication, but also have other communication methods, such as stylus and keyboard. In hardware design, it can provide many different styles of appearance, such as using a real or virtual keyboard. In software function, it can accommodate many functions, including sharing information with others, browsing the web, transmitting, receiving emails, faxes and managing personal life. In addition, Symbian operating system reserves a variety of interfaces for manufacturers in terms of expansibility, and EPOC operating system can be subdivided into three types: Pearl/Shi Ying/Crystal, which respectively correspond to ordinary mobile phones, smart phones and handheld PC applications. Advantages: Symbian system has occupied the leading position in the intelligent system market for many years, with strong system capability and convenient use. Disadvantages: generally configured models have slow response, poor support for mainstream media formats, poor compatibility of different versions of software, and certificate problems are also a headache. Windows Mobile Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system was originally regarded as a product competing with Palm OS. However, today, the application of Windows Mobile has surpassed Palm and started to show the king of handheld devices. V5.0 released last year has made many practical improvements, including smarter versions of Word and Excel, direct mail technology and persistent data storage. Windows Mobile is a software platform developed by Microsoft for Pocket PC and Smartphone. Windows Mobile extends the familiar Windows desktop to personal devices. WindowsMobile is Microsoft's "mobile version of Windows" for handheld devices. The devices using Windows Mobile operating system mainly include mobile phones, PDA's and portable music players. There are three kinds of Windows Mobile operating systems, namely WindowsMobile Standard, Windows MobileProfessional and Windows Mobile Classic. At present, the latest version is Windows Mobile 6. 1, and the 6.5 version will be announced soon. The mainstream hardware configuration of Windows Mobile handheld computers and mobile phones: CPU: 195-624 Mhz, Main chip manufacturers: Intel, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Qualcomm, etc. Memory: 64- 128MB Ram (for program running), 128-256MBRom (for storing third-party programs and user files), display screen: 240x320 or 480x640, 65000 colors, 2. SDHC, high-end model built-in WiFi wireless network receiving module, GPS satellite receiving module, FM radio receiving module, 3G or 3.5G high-speed network Advantages: The interface and operation are very close to Windows on the computer, which is very familiar and easy to use for computer friends; All kinds of information and materials stored in computers or mobile phones can be easily enjoyed; There are a large number of application software for users to choose from. Disadvantages: high system resources, easy system crash, and relatively high model price. . . Here you can see the function simulation of dopod's mobile phone, which is intuitive:/allmobile/dopod/1.htmllinux. At present, there are more and more mobile phones using Linux operating system, but almost every mobile phone's operating system is developed by the manufacturer himself, and Linux does not have a unified platform. However, it is worth noting that some manufacturers have recently introduced the concept of GreenPhone, providing a unified Linux software platform, and then mobile phone manufacturers add specific functions, which is close to a complete mobile phone operating system. At present, the biggest obstacle to the development of Linux lies in its high demand for hardware and lack of strong promoters. As a result, the cost of Linux mobile phone is not cheap and the version is chaotic. But the advantages of Linux are also quite obvious. First of all, it is free and does not need to pay any patent fees, which is a great temptation for most mobile phone manufacturers. Secondly, open source, every willing vendor can participate in the underlying development of Linux operating system. We can only make short-term predictions about the future of Linux. Now other operating systems are quite perfect, but Linux is far from mature, so Linux will not be widely used in a short time, but mobile phones using Linux should appear in the market one after another and be welcomed to a certain extent. Advantages: it has the advantages of free, free and open source code, and users can learn the code independently and customize the contents of most systems. Disadvantages: Linux operating system models rarely come from official third-party software, and users need to refresh themselves before installing more programs, which is somewhat difficult to operate. Palm OS Palm OS is an operating system developed by Palm Company and dedicated to PDA. It is the overlord of PDA, which once occupied 90% of the PDA market. Although it is not specially designed for mobile phones, the excellence of Palm OS and its support for mobile devices also make it an excellent mobile phone operating system. Its latest version is Palm OS 5.2. At present, handheld PDA with mobile phone function, such as tungsten W of Palm Company. The current status of HandspSB system is still unshakable. As for the future ... it's hard to say ... Android is really good. HTC has played several A system machines, with beautiful interface and convenient operation. But the biggest problem at present is the lack of software ... perhaps, as the market says, more and more machines are used. There may be more and more software ... but UIQ and LINUX seem to have a "future" than today's Android ... As a result, they are gradually replaced by sb, which is mainly based on market share ... But Nokia's courage is always amazing, and it is rumored that Maemo will replace SB system. I don't know what will happen in the future. Anyway, Nokia is promoted by the manufacturer with the largest market share. ....
