What Is a Mobile Phone Operating System?
Mobile phone operating systems are mainly used in smart phones. The mainstream smartphones include Google Android and Apple's iOS. Both smart phones and non-smart phones support JAVA. The difference between smart phones and non-smart phones depends on whether the function of the system platform can be expanded.
- Popular smart phone operating systems include Symbian OS, Android OS, Windows Phone, iOS, Blackberry, etc. According to the openness of source code, kernel, and application environment, smart phone operating systems can be divided into open platforms (based on

- In October 2010, Microsoft officially released Windows Phone, a smartphone operating system, and listed Google s Android OS and Apple s iOS as its main competitors.
In February 2011, Nokia and Microsoft reached a global strategic alliance and in-depth cooperation and joint research and development.
In June 2012, Microsoft held a press conference in San Francisco, USA, and officially released the new operating system Windows Phone 8 (hereinafter referred to as WP8). The system abandoned the WinCE kernel and switched to the same NT kernel as Windows 8. The system is also the first WP version to support dual-core CPUs, announcing that Windows Phone has entered the dual-core era, and at the same time announcing that Windows Phone 7 is exiting the stage of history.
Windows Phone has a series of avant-garde operations such as desktop customization, icon dragging, and sliding control. The Windows Phone8 flagship Nokia Lumia 920 home screen displays new emails, text messages, missed calls, calendar appointments, and more by providing a dashboard-like experience to keep people updated on important information. It also includes an enhanced touch screen interface and the latest version of the IE Mobile browser.
The major manufacturers using the Windows Phone platform are Nokia, Samsung, HTC and Huawei.
Windows Phone has the following characteristics:
- (1) Enhanced Windows Live.
(2) Better email, manage multiple accounts directly through OutlookMobile on your phone, and use ExchangeServer for synchronization.
(3) Office Mobile office suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other components. The disadvantage is that you can only edit .docx, .pptx ...
(4) The SMS function of Windows Phone is integrated with LiveMessenger (commonly known as MSN).
(5) Use Windows Live Media Manager on your phone to synchronize files and use Windows Media Player to play media files.
The disadvantage is that it does not support background operations and third-party Chinese input methods. You can use Microsoft's own ringtone maker or Kuoyou Music (wp8.1) to change the ringtone of your mobile phone.

- The mobile Internet inherits the spirit of openness, collaboration and sharing of the desktop Internet, that is, the "internet" attribute, and also has the real-time, convenience, privacy, identifiable, and positionable characteristics of the mobile communication network, that is, the "mobile" attribute. Two attributes make the mobile Internet an incomparable natural superiority, and its rapid development has attracted worldwide attention.
Using mobile phone navigation to make travel planning, find leisure places, order meals, make friends, shop and pay [12] has become a part of people's lives. At the same time, the popularity of smart phones makes "smart" no longer a mysterious threshold. In fact, there is no longer a distinction between smart and non-smart. Android, which was born as an open source, drastically lowered the barriers to entry for smartphones. Many manufacturers participated together to improve the application of the system. At the same time, the fierce price competition made Android OS phones with mainstream configurations within a thousand yuan. Optional, low-budget users can also enjoy mainstream smart applications.
In the foreseeable future, smartphones will also affect everyone's daily life. They will experience more interface design attempts, innovations in function and equipment, and include systems and cloud computing, systems and more hardware devices. Connect and interact. The driving force behind these developments is of course innovation. Innovations based on the needs of ordinary users are continuing to make the communication tools in their hands into indispensable remote controls, entertainment terminals and personal assistants in life.
According to iiMedia Research's analysis, more than 90% of domestic mobile phones prefer the open Android system, coupled with Samsung's dominant position in the domestic market, it is not surprising that the Android operating system has such a high market share. As a rising star, the WindowsPhone operating system will further expand its market share in the future.
China Unicom Zhang Zhijiang pointed out that cater to the development trend of mobile Internet. The development of smart terminals also presents three characteristics: The first is the pendulum of the hardware. The mobile phone design company designs all the functions that can be designed on the mobile phone motherboard according to the business requirements introduced by the operator, in order to achieve uniformity and universality. Economical and economical, which can not only improve user experience but also promote business promotion; the second is software intelligence, that is, operating system intelligence, and domestic operators have developed operations with independent intellectual property rights with the support of major national special projects System; The third is that Web-based mobile applications gradually replace WAP-based applications, which is more in line with the characteristics of the Internet.
The scale of Chinese Internet users has reached 564 million, and the size of mobile Internet users has reached 420 million. E-commerce is no longer a question of whether to do it or not, but a question of how to do it.
Judging from the products released by WWDC2013 Apple, Apple's future will lie in software innovation and promote Apple's continued growth, while the other party's point of view is that Apple's software innovation is not as good as before. It is believed that although Apple has upgraded a lot at WWDC2013 this time, it lacks new ideas.
With the development of mobile phone technology and the needs of people's applications, mobile phones are no longer a simple communication tool. At present, driven by 3G and 4G technologies, there is a trend to integrate telecommunications, the Internet, and broadcast television. As a result, the mobile phone operating system research and development and market disputes have entered a fierce heat.
Symbian OS, Android OS, BlackberryOS and iOS currently occupy the mobile phone market. As a new mobile operating system, Windows Phone has great potential, and Firefox OS is a rising star.
As the most critical part of the entire mobile Internet industry chain, the smartphone operating system has a significant impact on the mobile Internet industry chain. Therefore, experts and scholars at home and abroad have shifted their research perspectives to smartphone operating systems.
From the current market share, I think that AndroidOS, iOS and Windows Phone will become mainstream smartphone operating systems.
In 2012, China Mobile's wireless city construction has covered 336 cities across the country, providing people with tens of thousands of applications covering home, study, medical, travel, work, and consumption [15].
Therefore, research and development of smart phone operating systems that meet the needs of people's applications has become the main development task of major companies, and China is also developing smart phone operating systems with independent intellectual property rights and innovation.
