Symbian3 system
On February 15, 2010, the Mobile World Congress 2010 kicked off in Barcelona, Spain. At the show, the Symbian Foundation announced that it will complete the code development of the Symbian 3 system next month, which will be a milestone shift in Symbian's history, and on April 27, 2010, Nokia launched its new flagship smartphone, the Nokia N8-00, powered by Symbian^3 systems, the Symbian Foundation has been transforming Symbian since its inception, after announcing that it had completed the source code open engineering of the Symbian system four months ahead of schedule. As for the system improvements, the Symbian Foundation decided to skip the previously planned Symbian 2 and go directly to the Symbian 3 version. Symbian3 will have a new user interface, support for multiple standby desktops, widgets, integration with SNS social networking sites, support for 2D/3D game acceleration, and good support for high-definition video.
Nokia N97 and N86 used to be popular stars in the domestic market, occupying a large share in low-end machines. However, although Nokia occupies most of the Chinese market, it lags behind competitors such as Apple, RIM, and Motorola in the foreign smartphone market (especially in developed countries), and finally launched the upgraded version of Symbian OS Symbian^3 at the MWC2010 conference. In fact, to put it mildly, like Windows Phone 7, Symbian^3 is also a product of being forced out by the iPhone and Android.
Previously, most of Nokia's touchscreen smartphones, including the flagship N97 and the entry-level 5230, were powered by Symbian OS v9.4 (the user interface is S60V5), known as Symbian^1. According to the previous plan, Nokia will launch Symbian^2, Symbian^3, and Symbian^4 versions successively to improve the user experience. However, as user needs and preferences changed, Nokia decided to adjust the plan, skipping Symbian^2 and going directly to the Symbian^3 phase, and integrating the features of Symbian^4 into Symbian^3 through system updates, and the later updated versions of Symbian^3 will be named after Anna, Belle, and Clara.
According to Nokia's previous plan, the proportion of smartphones in its product line will increase in the future, while the non-intelligent S40 platform products will shrink. By 2011, the share of Symbian products in Nokia phones will reach 55%, the proportion of Maemo platforms will reach 10%, and the S40 will drop to about 35%. However, this plan was adjusted by Nokia's decision-makers in February 2011, and in the future, its product line will be mainly composed of Windows Phone 7 and S40 platforms, and the improved version of Maemo Meego will be a long-term experimental project of Nokia, and Symbian^3 will continue to be supported beyond 2016.

System features:
Symbian3 system
Compared to the current version of Symbian OS, Symbian^3 has six important changes: improved interface and controlsSymbian^3 supports a multi-page home page, multiple weather forecasts, news, social network accounts, as well as multiple email accounts and widgets and other applications can appear on the home screen at the same time. The Symbian^3 will also feature a capacitive screen across the board, and for the first time will implement multi-touch functionality on a Nokia phone.
Efficient memory management with support for multitasking
Symbian^3 is fully optimized for memory management, allowing users to open multiple applications while maintaining smooth program running and switching. Like Windows 7, which is becoming ubiquitous on PCs, Symbian^3 supports thumbnail previews for multitasking for the first time, and Palm's Web OS has similar features on mobile operating systems.
Accelerate 2D/3D graphics games and applications
Symbian^3 unifies hardware and software configurations, optimizes 2D/3D graphics games and applications, and improves visual effects. Symbian^3 uses ScreenPlay technology to add translucent multi-layer overlays to allow high-resolution graphics or animated content to be integrated into the interface. The good news is that this treatment not only increases the visual experience, but also effectively controls the power consumption, thereby improving the power efficiency.
New wireless network structure
Through the FreeWay network fabric components, Symbian^3 has ultra-high-speed network connectivity and smooth seamless switching capabilities, allowing users to easily switch between WiFi, HSPA, LTE 4G and other wireless networks, making network connections no longer cumbersome and ready to support future 4G networks.
Support HDMI HD video output
Symbian^3 enables Nokia mobile phones to achieve high-definition video output capabilities for the first time, and the emergence of HDMI interface allows mobile phones to replace high-definition players and support 1080p high-definition video output, which is one of the important features of the Symbian^3 system.
整合音乐商店Music Store
Symbian^3 integrates the Music Store and plugs it into the radio, adding a "Buy Now" button to the interface for users to buy their favorite music directly online.
At present, all the Symbian^3 messages are from Nokia's official website, and the specific user experience is not yet available. Judging from the above changes, Symbian^3 has the most intuitive changes to the UI and running speed that users can feel the most, and it is not known whether the current Symbian^1 is relatively cumbersome and the closed restrictions have been changed. It is also understood that existing Symbian^1 v5 users such as Nokia N97 and X6 cannot upgrade to Symbian^3.
UI
The rumored upcoming Symbian 4 system
The Symbian Foundation, which has been undergoing the transformation of Symbian since its inception, announced that it had completed the open source code project for the Symbian system four months ahead of schedule. As for the system improvements, the Symbian Foundation decided to skip the previously planned Symbian 2 and go directly to the Symbian 3 version. Symbian3 will have a new user interface, support for multiple standby desktops, widgets, integration with SNS social networking sites, support for 2D/3D game acceleration, and good support for high-definition video.

When the Symbian^3 system was launched, many users of S60v5 mobile phones were looking forward to upgrading the Symbian^3 system. However, many of the anticipatory dreams were dashed, and Nokia announced that all S60v5 phones could not be upgraded to Symbian^3, Anna and Belle, leaving many users with a lot of questions and objections to Nokia.
Reasons why S60v5 phones cannot be upgraded to the new Symbian^3 system:
1. The configuration can't keep up, the minimum configuration of the Symbian^3 mobile phone requires the screen to be a capacitive screen, multi-touch, and the processor frequency should be higher than 600MHZ. Because the mobile phone configuration of S60v5 can only be resistive screen and single-touch capacitive screen, the maximum processor is only 434MHZ. So because the configuration is too low to upgrade, even if you force flash Symbian^3, it will be very stuck. (Including the configuration of the S60v5 system mobile phone X6,600M processor and single-point capacitive screen, it cannot be upgraded)
2. If the S60v5 phone is upgraded to Symbian^3, it will be like Windows Phone version 7 cannot be upgraded to version 8. The reason is that the cost of upgrading will be too high, while the profit margin is small.
3. There is also the fact that because of the launch of the new system, the Symbian system has been surpassed, Nokia has abandoned the Symbian system and focused on Windows Phone, there are fewer and fewer Symbian users, so there is no point in upgrading, and the 808 PureView is the last Symbian phone. Nokia has also announced that it advises users to move to Windows Phone.
4. There is too little application support, although the application of Symbian^3 is common to S60v5, there are many applications and games running on high-spec mobile phones, and S60v5 cannot run. (like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja) these Symbian^3 can run, S60v5 can't. It's because these games require multi-point capacitive screens and fast processors. Of course, this is also caused by the low configuration of the S60v5 mobile phone. (Refer to point 1)
In order to save its reputation, Nokia can only upgrade the S60v5 and S60v3 phones one last time, and upgrade the v40, v50, and v31.00 versions of the system according to the model

MWC presents three highlights: the opening of the program will promote the industrial revolution
On the first day of the opening of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2010 in Barcelona, Spain,
Symbian3 system
MWC presents three highlights: 24 operator alliances jointly promote the open platform for mobile applications, Samsung, Microsoft and Nokia, which was previously "absent" from the exhibition, will compete secretly in the mobile phone operating system, and system equipment manufacturers will compete in HSPA and LTE.
The connotation of the open platform for operator applications
In terms of mobile applications, 24 mobile operators around the world, including China Mobile and Vodafone, have joined forces to launch an open application platform, which will challenge the app store represented by Apple in the form of an alliance of operators, which can overcome the shortcomings of the "fragmented" application solution market, and operators plan to use common open standards to allow developers to create cross-platform applications. The alliance plans to first apply both the Joint Innovation Lab and OMTP BONDI standards, and gradually transition these different standards to a harmonized standard over the next year.
"The focus at Mobile Communications has always been on hardware, but this time the focus will be different, with applications being the big theme," said Gartner analyst Melanisi. ”
The pinnacle of the operating system
The biggest highlight of the battle on the mobile operating system is Samsung's S8500 Wave, which is based on the Bada smartphone operating system, which supports multitasking and Flash, while providing a brighter, clearer and less reflective AMOLED OnCell display.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is expected to release the next generation of smartphone platform, Windows Phone 7. Rumor has it that WP7 may revert to single-tasking, fail to install programs via cable or memory card, and will not support Flash. At the same time, Microsoft will also launch a new smartphone platform, Windows Phone 7. This version is mainly aimed at OEMs, and phones based on the system will be aimed at users in emerging markets. There is news that Microsoft will launch the Zune Phone with its WP7 operating system.
Symbian3 system
Sony Ericsson CEO Bolt Nordberg said that the mobile phone user interface will be further unified with Sony's consumer electronics products, and the mobile phone operating system will still be diversified, but will use its own user interface to "cover" the differences between these systems. At the same time, Sony Ericsson will continue to use multiple mobile operating systems. "No one knows which operating system will become mainstream in the future, so Soai wants to 'diversify the bet'."
For the Symbian operating system, Nokia's absence and the high profile of "gaffes" all indicate that the new Symbian3 system may become the focus of attention at that time, and the first product with the new system, N8, has appeared.
The 3G competition of system equipment vendors
Ericsson President and CEO Hans Vestberg said at MWC that the number of mobile subscribers worldwide is expected to reach 7 billion in the next five years, driving the long-term improvement of the telecom equipment market. Over the past 10 years, the number of mobile subscribers worldwide has increased sixfold to 4.6 billion, and within five years, there will be 3 billion mobile broadband subscribers worldwide. Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia Siemens and other manufacturers participating in MWC all demonstrated relevant 3G technologies at their booths.
Ericsson will also demonstrate 84Mbps HSPA technology. At the same time, Ericsson also showcased the Netgear router in the United States, for which Ericsson provided mobile broadband module technology, the new router will be HSPA technology combined with 802.11n wireless LAN and Ethernet, the router can achieve a wireless LAN speed of 270 Mbps. In addition, Ericsson demonstrated the world's first microwave backhaul solution with a transmission capacity of 2.5 Gbps, utilizing the new 70-80 GHz band (E-band) for data transmission. Ericsson also provided technical support for Orange's HD voice calling business in the region.
Huawei will showcase its HSPA+ solution, which is based on the 3GPP Release 9 standard and combines 64QAM's high-order modulation (HOM), multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO), and dual-carrier frequency operation to achieve downlink speeds of up to 84Mbps. The HSUPA solution based on interference cancellation technology has an uplink peak rate of up to 11Mb/s, which is twice that of 3GPP Release 6. At MWC, Huawei also unveiled a SingleRAN@Broad solution that will help operators cope with a 1,000-fold increase in mobile broadband traffic through technologies such as multi-coverage networking, full-band broadband, and high-efficiency spectrum.
In response to indoor coverage, Nokia Siemens demonstrated the TD-LTEFemtocell solution at MWC. Nokia Siemens Communications conducted a TD-LTE lab demonstration in 2008 and a femtocell demonstration in 2009. Nokia's Siemens Flexi Multiradio base station supports both TD-LTE and FDD.
symbian3 planning
Purnima Kochikar, Vice President of Nokia, today released an open letter to developers revealing their roadmap for the final version of the Symbian^3 platform. The Finns are ready to release new phones based on Symbian^3 and regularly update this operating system.
The new Symbian^3-based devices will use a 1GHz processor and a dedicated GPU graphics chip, and Nokia will also make the Symbian^3 even more attractive with location-based LBS services and professional shooting capabilities.
There will also be major changes to the Symbian system interface, and Nokia has prepared a lot of things, including several updates to improve the user experience. For example, they will offer a new home screen, multiple flexible desktop plugins, new icons, a faster browser, a new navigation bar, and a new Ovi Store and Ovi Maps, which will be integrated into social media services.
The first update will come this summer, and in fact, some of the above will be updated to the T-Mobile version of C7 in the next few days.
Nokia has not yet confirmed the survival time of the Symbian system, apparently they want to see how the Windows Phone system mobile phone will perform after entering the market, and if it can't be implemented, there will be a way back for Symbian. However, Nokia has already stated that they will not drop support for Symbian^3, even if the first devices with Microsoft are a huge success. Nokia says it will continue to offer Symbian^3 phones until the end of their life cycle when users are persuaded to move to Windows Phone 7.
Updated system
On June 21, 2011, Nokia's official website said:
At Nokia Connection 2011, which was broadcast live on the global webcast, Nokia reaffirmed its commitment to Symbian. In July 11, Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7, and Nokia C6-01 equipped with Symbian Anna software were launched, improving a series of user experiences. Users who have already purchased these products will also be able to download Symbian Anna before the end of August last year to complete the upgrade of their phones.
Updated system
On November 16, 2011, the Nokia N8 equipped with Symbian Belle has been launched According to reports, the Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7, etc., which were previously purchased, have begun to obtain push updates from Nokia Belle in February 2012 to complete the upgrade of mobile phones.
On April 3, 2012, Nokia today confirmed that it has begun rolling a new firmware called Belle Feature Pack 1 to users of Symbian phones with 701, 700 and 603 models.
