Saipan has been eliminated, and Nokia uses WP system itself.
Android system has been upgraded, and its playability and reliability are becoming more and more mature, which is the first choice for many people.
1, Android has a better user interface than Saipan. Saipan's menu is a menu tree, which needs to be entered layer by layer, which is more traditional, but it needs many operations to enter a lower level. After the touch screen appeared, the menu like Apple's mobile phone greatly reduced the level of the menu, and the screen and icons of the mobile phone were easy to choose. Users like this operation, which saves time and trouble. Android's user interface is the same as Apple's, and users respond well after using it. Bad things will be eliminated.
2. Symbian is not an open system, which requires the permission of the software owner, the signing of an agreement and the payment of a license fee. Then the company can get the code and conduct research and development. Like Microsoft, the engineers who have access to the code are some people in the company that signed the agreement. After the development is completed, Saipan approval is required, and the formalities and time costs are high. So Nokia is now giving up Saipan and turning to Windows Phone 7. Android is an open system, there is no license fee, and the code can be downloaded online. The number of engineers using Android greatly exceeds that of non-open systems, and it is also welcomed by many mobile phone developers.
3. Because Android is an open system, many companies and engineers learn to use it, and it grows and matures much faster. Many people are willing to develop applications for it, so that there are now more than 300,000 applications (less than Apple) that can be downloaded online. This is very important for smartphones, because there are more choices.
4, easy to upgrade. Android phones can be upgraded if the hardware is suitable for the upgraded version of Android.
The research and development cost is low, the use is convenient, the effect is good, and it is popular among users, making desk system the largest smartphone application system in two years. It also shows that the growth of new technological forces is inevitable. The following is the market share of various software platforms for smartphones in the United States in April this year. Android (green in the picture) accounts for 36%, Apple (gray) and Blackberry (red) account for two or three places, and Saipan (dark yellow) only accounts for 2%.
