Symbian operating system is a working framework intended for cell phones. Symbian was the main cell phone stage up from 2003 up until 2010 (even 2011 for Europe). After that Google's Android operating system started to lead the pack.
The center Symbian operating system initially gave no UI. All things being equal, it was utilized as the hidden base for two significant cell phone UI stages: S60 and UIQ. These can be viewed as improvement branches, each supported by various organizations. Dissimilar to Android operating system with its different restorative UIs, Symbian UIs ran further in the code and applications composed for one of these stages were not viable with the other straightforwardly. Outwardly, the S60 and the UIQ shared nothing practically speaking and UIQ was made considering touchscreens.
UIQ
UIQ (recently called UI Quartz) was a pen-based working framework for touchscreen gadgets. It was created by an organization called UIQ Innovation, which was claimed by Symbian Ltd. also, in 2006 was obtained mutually by Motorola and Sony Ericsson.
The Sony Ericsson P800 - the main UIQ telephone - was delivered toward the finish of 2002. The UIQ history finished in 2008 when UIQ Innovation sought financial protection following the declarations of the open source Symbian Establishment prior that very year, which had the S60 as the foundation of decision.
For that time the stage went through 7 significant updates:
- Quartz 6.0 (year 2000)
- Quartz 6.1 (year 2001)
- UIQ 2 (year 2002)
- UIQ 2.1 (year 2003)
- UIQ 3 (year 2004)
- UIQ 3.1 (year 2007)
- UIQ 3.3 (year 2008)
The UIQ 3.0 and the ones that followed were totally founded on Symbian operating system 9.0, which implied applications for the new adaptation were presently not viable with the more seasoned telephones.
S60
The S60 Stage (recently called Series 60 UI) was created by Noki, however unexpectedly, Sony partook in the turn of events, as well.
The spearheading item was the Nokia 7650 and it sent off back in 2002. The stage went through a few significant modifications from that point forward and recently, it's been called Nokia Beauty rather than Symbian S60.
In January 2013 Nokia authoritatively declared that the Nokia 808 PureView (2012) will stand out forever as its last Symbian gadget.
As the Symbian operating system went starting with one update then onto the next, the two significant contending UIs in view of it developed in adaptations in comparable style. With S60 these were called Versions. The S60 third release depended on Symbian operating system 9 and the applications for it were paired contradictory with the more established adaptations.
S60 went through a few significant deliveries:
- S60 1st Edition (year 2000)Feature Pack 1
- Feature Pack 1
- S60 2st Edition (year 2001)Feature Pack 1Feature Pack 2Feature Pack 3
- Feature Pack 1
- Feature Pack 2
- Feature Pack 3
- S60 3st Edition (year 2006)Feature Pack 1Feature Pack 2Feature Pack 3
- Feature Pack 1
- Feature Pack 2
- Feature Pack 3
- S60 5st Edition (year 2008)
- Symbian^3 (year 2010)
- Symbian Anna (year 2011)
- Nokia Belle (renamed from Symbian Belle)Feature Pack 1Feature Pack 2
- Feature Pack 1
- Feature Pack 2
The S60 5st Version was the main touch-empowered release. Nokia falsely skirted the fourth Release in the setup as a politeness to its Asian clients as supposedly, the number 4 is viewed as unfortunate in a few Asian societies.
Other than the singular releases, there were additionally mediator in the middle between. These were called Component Packs. Since certain Releases had a few Component Packs, this made the S60 forms significantly more dark to the relaxed client.
With an end goal to ease what is happening, Nokia dropped the S60 name for what's in store arrivals of its touch empowered operating system and it just utilized the name of the fundamental adaptation of Symbian. Consequently the patch up of the touch-empowered S60 5st Release became known as Symbian ^3.
With an end goal to work on things considerably further, for the following two deliveries, Nokia changed their naming plan two times. The delivery following Symbian ^3 was called Symbian Anna and the thought behind it was Nokia would proceed with the arrangement with ensuing female names in sequential request.
The thought, but was unloaded, and for the following delivery - Beauty - Nokia dropped the word Symbian out and out. Symbian was presently called... Nokia. Subsequently the following release was named Nokia Beauty rather than Symbian Beauty.
From that point on Nokia shut down all endeavors on the improvement of Symbian and directed its full concentration toward authorizing Microsoft's Windows Telephone.
