The most breaking operating systems and their features. Android, Windows Phone or iOS - which OS for smartphone is better

With an abundance of offers on the smartphone market, the novice user is very difficult to make a choice, determined primarily on which OS should work to work.

To help newcomers tried the team from Digital Trends, trying to get to the truth, comparing "Three China" of modern mobile OS:

Android 4.4;
iOS 7;
Windows Phone 8.

The results of their research can be safely robbed when comparing the capabilities of various smartphones.

It is unlikely that someone will challenge that the most expensive smartphone on the market - iPhone. The cost of model 5S from $ 650, the expected novelty of the 6th series and is higher.

Up to Windows. mobile version 6.5 On this OS, it worked a fairly wide range of phones. Now, after the phones on the "eight" released only Nokia, the devices from LG, Samsung, Lenovo, Zte, Huawei, etc. will work on this platform.

However, Android far exceeds its competitors for scaligence and capabilities of settings. Most mobile gadget manufacturers produce their Android gadgets in all price categories. In addition, a huge number is offered on PlayMarket free applicationsthat adds the popularity of Green Robot.

Winner: Android

2. Interface

All three Operations are created with a fashionable flat design, their interface has few differences. However, Android, third-party widgets have significantly change the appearance of the system.

The Android L appears follows the idea of \u200b\u200b"material design and is not exactly known how the overall animation of third-party and system applications will be combined.

7th iOS modern, it looks stylish enough. Animation is beautiful and clear, but somewhat tedious. The undoubted advantage was the possibility of disconnecting unnecessary visual effects.

The base of the Windows Phone - tiles, which, as in the PC version, is elementary configured under the user. OS looks better than competitors, but it is somewhat slow.

Outcome: draw

3. Apps

Here IOS leads, almost does not lag behind him android. Windows is far in outsider. This can be judged by looking at the number of applications:

iOS - 1.2 million;
Android - 1.2 million;
Windows - 245 thousand

Leaders have a number of approximately equal, but the quality of the mobile operating system from Apple exceeds the rest. It is on it, thanks to convenience for developers and security of piracy, the first hits come out mobile applications. And then they are transferred to Android. Nevertheless, for Android, there is much more free software.

Winner: iOS.

4. App store

For convenience, it is difficult to highlight any of the stores. To select a desired application, you need to make quite a lot of steps. But Applestore is much easier to navigate on the recommendations. Windows Store in this regard works worse.

Winner: iOS.

5. Alternative stores

Microsoft and Apple developers are categorically acceptable to use third-party stores. Google in this regard is more loyal: the program can be downloaded from PlayMarket, installed with big Computer Or find on any of third-party stores.

Winner: Android

6. Battery.

One of the main problems of modern smartphones is the short term of working on the battery. Give an objective assessment which of the three systems has better energy saving is difficult - you cannot use the same comparison methods. Traditionally it is believed that IOS is less energy intensive, but smartphones on Android and Windows are equipped with powerful batteries. Another advantage of Android is the ability to independently and disconnect unnecessary programsgiving increased battery consumption.

Windows Phone also allows, but in iOS seriously lack energy-saving options. This is especially characteristic of the last, 7 version of the OS.

Winner: Android

7. System updates

The update of all three systems occurs regularly regularly. However, Google less closely monitors its software, so Apple and Microsoft patches are easier. Even the old devices with iOS remains good support, while you can update Android only through the installation of a new firmware from vendors, periodically forgetting about old devices.

Winner: iOS.

8. Additional decorations

Here every mobile OS is good in its own way:

Android . Personalize the system can be different ways: Change the launcher, reflash, set the lock screen, mix the widgets. Additionally, you can install various keyboard From third-party developers.
Windows . Customization is sufficiently scant: the color scheme and the size of the tiles are changed.
iOS. . Widgets like and enough, however they are tied to the center of notifications.

Winner: Android

Breaking into

A rather complicated function allows you to access all the features of the phone. With it, you can set any settings and update your gadget independently of the update release by the manufacturer.

Such an idea does not find support from Apple and Microsoft. For smartphones on iOS special utility Jailbreak, after which you can install any software from third-party stores.

Winner: Android

10. Calls and SMS

Directly calls are good for all three platforms. Exchange SMS email Also, everyone is organized convenient, but Windows does not have the ability to establish a third-party client.

Outcome: draw

11. Accessories

For "apples", far conceding competitors in this regard, the vast majority of all sorts of accessories were released. At the same time, Apple still refuses to use a standard microUSB connector, which makes their gadgets dependent on the use of "native" cables.

What the Russian market is disappointed in iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

This graph shows the percentage of mobile operating systems among the sold smartphones. Last five years, the situation has changed very much.

At the moment, the share of BlackBerry OS sales (RIM) is relatively high. But the time of this operating system passes. New smartphones under the BlackBerry brand are issued with Android. It is clear that phones running alternative OS are practically not sold.

But they are! The list of mobile operating systems in Wikipedia includes several dozen items. If you delete closed projects from it, such as Symbian and Bada, and numerous Android firmware, the list will significantly decrease. Select the system from it, the devices with which you can buy in Russia and tell about them in more detail.

Ubuntu Touch

The operating system for smartphones and tablets Ubuntu Touch is announced in early 2013. The company's development is engaged in Canonical Ltd. Sometimes the system is called Ubuntu Phone OS.

Working on the interface, the creators of Ubuntu Touch tried to do something other than others. The OS has several screens that can be pulled out in the same way as on Android. The first screen displays incoming calls, SMS, mail and social network applications. The second display shows the weather, the nearest photos from Flickr and the latest articles from Wikipedia. And only on the third you can get to the list installed applications. And on the fourth screen, news is suddenly discovered. And on the fifth music player. The transition between the screens is carried out only sequentially. And such strange founders in the system is enough.

In dexte ubuntu icons open programs Available on the vertical panel on the left side of the screen. There is a similar element in Ubuntu Touch. It is quite comfortable.

25 applications are preset in the system. If they are missing, you can download other Ubuntu Store. The developers of the OS strongly recommend using the Telegram messenger, as his philosophy largely coincides with the Ubuntu Touch philosophy.

Most applications from the store are a link to the site decorated in the form of icons on the desktop. For example, an Instagram application is just a webpage and does not have access to the camera.

For using Ubuntu. Touch is not necessary to buy a separate smartphone. It can be installed on some Android devicesFor example, on the tablets of the Google Nexus line.

In Yandex.Market there were three gadgets on which this OS is available from the box.

About a month ago, official sales began in Russia BQ Aquaris E5.. Little retailers are asking for him about 15 thousand rubles for him. Here it is brief specifications:

Number of SIM cards 2;
Weight 134 g;
Screen diagonal 5 inches;
Camera 13 million pixels;
Processor 1300 MHz;

Earlier this year began to be sold BQ Aquaris E4.5. For 13 thousand rubles:

Number of SIM cards 2;
Weight 123 g;
Screen diagonal 4.5 inches;
Camera 8 million pixels;
Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB;
Processor 1300 MHz;
Volume of built-in memory 8 GB;
Volume random access memory 1 GB.

The Spanish company BQ entered the Russian market in the fall of this year. It produces smartphones, 3D printers and toy robots. Products are focused on creative people who love to modify their gadgets. Most of the BQ equipment has an open source code.

The flagship product of a large Chinese manufacturer of MEIZU X5 smartphones in many of the hearing. This gadget in the metal case works under Android. But there is also Ubuntu Touch Edition, which costs almost 30 thousand rubles:

Number of SIM cards 1;
Weight 147 g;
Diagonal 5.36 inches;
Camera 20.70 million pix;
Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0, USB;
Eight-core MediaTek MT6595 processor;
Volume of built-in memory 16 GB;
The amount of RAM 2 GB;
Sensor of gravity;
Infrared distance sensor.

Firefox OS.

During the writing of this article, Mozilla ceases to produce smartphones under control Firefox OS. The operating system will be developed under another electronics. Phones are still sold in Russia. These prices are significantly lower than on devices with other alternative mobile operating systems.

The system began to be developed by Mozilla in 2011 and was announced in the winter of 2013 at Mobile World Congress. The system interface is made on HTML5. Applications for Firefox OS are created exclusively using web technologies.

The logic of the smartphone screens is similar to the Android operating system. Many programs are references to sites decorated in the form of application icons. If there is no connection to the Internet, then the smartphone is almost dead.

Briefly about phones under Firefox OS, you can say so: "Relaxes with good browsers." Numerous system reviews show that for something large budget devices with Firefox OS are unable.

Alcatel OneTouch Fire E 6015x It was announced back in 2013. You can buy it for 5 thousand rubles.

Number of SIM cards 1;
Weight 103 g;
Diagonal 4.5 inches;
Camera 5 million pix;
Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0, USB;
FM radio;
Processor 1200 MHz, 2 kernels;
The volume of built-in memory 4 GB;
The amount of RAM 512 MB;
There is a memory card slot.

ZTE Open. C Firefox OS costs about 3 thousand rubles:

Number of SIM cards 1;
3.5 inches diagonal;
Camera 3.20 million pixels;
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, USB;
Processor 1000 MHz;
Volume of built-in memory 512 MB;
The amount of RAM 256 MB;
There is a memory card slot.

ZTE - one of the largest chinese manufacturers Smartphones. Many Russian cellular operators trust it by the production of budget gadgets under their own brands. The cost of this company is extremely low. I assume that smartphones they sell not ply, and by weight :-)

Sailfish Os.

The operating system is developed by the Finnish company Jolla. Sailfish OS was first represented at World Mobile Congress 2013. The core of the project team make up former employees of Nokia, previously engaged in the work on the MeEgo project.

On the operating system can be installed ordinary Android applications from yandex.store, which in jolla instead Google Play.. Also, by default, the phone has Nokia Here Maps and Jolla Store cards.

To speed up working with files, you can enable the terminal mode on Sailfish OS. If there is no need for some necessary application in Yandex.Store, you can download from the Internet or via USB to transfer from the computer to the phone file APK And launch the installation.

At the moment, only one device under the control of this OS is sold in Russia. Buy smartphone Jolla JP-1301 It is possible for 18 thousand rubles. He has rather modest technical characteristics:

Number of SIM cards 1;
Weight 141 g;
Diagonal 4.5 inches;
Camera 8 million pixels;
Front camera 2 million peaks;
Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB, NFC;
Processor 1400 MHz;
Volume of built-in memory 16 GB;
The amount of RAM 1 GB.

It is unlikely that someone will have a desire to buy such a toy. But the system code is open and Sailfish OS can be tried to establish a smartphone for Android on the farm.

Tizen.

The project development is supervised by Intel and Samsung. Also, the organization Tizen Association includes LG U +, Panasonic and a dozen other major electronics manufacturers.

Tizen installed on sAMSUNG Gear 2 and ultrabooks Intel. It is rumored that sooner or later Tizen IVI will appear in KAMAZ dump trucks. At the moment, this OPERATION is actively introduced into Landrover and Jaguar cars. Also there is an active development of the version of the system for the wearable electronics - TIZEN WEARABLE.

Tizen applications are developed using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS. But unlike Firefox OS, web technologies can be combined with Tizen Native API and create native applications with access to hardware device with their help.

Tizen Association makes a lot to support novice applications developers. The SDK is constantly updated, the sea is written and tutorials, Developer competitions are held regularly. In major cities of the world, Tizen Hakathon are held. There were several such events in Moscow.

I assume that only this operating system from all described in the article is a chance to gain at least 1% of the smartphone market in the next few years. Samsung experts have huge resources to develop a quality product and its promotion. Canonical and Jolla will not have enough strength to compete. Sooner or later they will come out of the game just as it recently did Mozilla.

Still relatively recently in order to get through to another subscriber, it was necessary to stay at home. Sometimes they saved the devices standing on the street. And just earlier we had to contact the girl who was heard at the other end of the wire, cost us to raise the phone. Its main thing was to connect with the necessary subscriber. Not very practical, agree. But in the XXI century, we absolutely do not have problems with communication. With the advent of mobile phones, wherever we are, we are always available to people who know our number. And it seems that if a person has no mobile phonethen he is torn off and from life, and from progress.

Mass like in a small gadget

Today, such an apparatus does not surprise anyone. After all, smartphones came to replace ordinary mobile devices. smart phones. With this device, you can not only call or write SMS messages. These gadgets provide a lot of amazing opportunities. You can listen to music, view video and even whole films, go online, visit social networks, use navigator, alarm clock, calculator, flashlight and many other useful and interesting things. In the world modern technologies Almost every person has a smartphone. Most often, the possibility of the device depends on the model or manufacturer. But a large role for the user is played operating system. For smartphones allow us to reveal the entire gadget potential. It is from them that the quality of its use depends. In the article we will talk about for a smartphone and will figure it out in their main versions.

Types of operating systems

The operating system carries another name - "firmware". When they talk about installing the operating system, the term "reflash" is used. But these words are used rather when they talk about the versions of operating systems, and not their views.

There are three most popular, well-known and used operating systems for smartphones, namely android, iOS and Windows OS. There are others, but they meet quite rarely and mainly on chinese models dubious origin. Advanced user At first glance, the quality of the product can determine the operating system.

The operating systems that we called are, the point is competing among themselves. The owners of smartphones noted that the developers copy the elements of the "Operations" of each other.

In addition to the three main competitors on the market for the development of operating systems, there are also those that are created under a certain company or a gadget model. For example, BlackBerry OS for Blackberry phones or for Nokia.

Now let's talk more about the three giants. So, the main operating systems for smartphones.

Windows PHONE

This "OPERATION" is simply recommended for people who strive to try something new. Immediately, let's say that smartphones on the basis of this platform is much less than on "Android" or "Ayosa", but she can also please their owner. For example, in comparison with the same "android", the system works much faster and more productive, but if you compare it with iOS, then products are much cheaper. Yes, and the usual interface of the last two systems has already been slightly fed up by users.

Benefits of "Windows"

The second advantage of WP - applications in own store. The fact is that Android has a Google Play application store under its patronage, iOS - App Store.But the brainchild "Windows" is a Windows Phone Store. The number of applications in the latter is relatively small, but because of this, and it is much easier to understand them. The owners of smartphones running "Android" have access to thousands of paid and free applications and sometimes when it is necessary to find an important software, they are simply drowning in the bunch of proposed applications. But with Windows Phone is much easier. Yes, and much more quality free applications, but their same counterparts in competitors are quite expensive.

Especially almost all software workers and deprived of system errors. In this case, we see a vivid example of when the amount does not mean quality at all. In this operating system, there are a lot of "native" applications, and therefore download any additions sometimes do not need at all. Windows is a closed independent and self-sufficient platform that will have to taste to many users. They will like the speed of the device on the basis of this OS.

It's all about intellectual work with RAM. The system is programmed to unload low-use applications and the active work of those you use often. Therefore, everything is loaded very quickly and almost does not slow down. Another charm of this OS is a tile interface. The interface of the two other operating systems has a similar structure, but at the tile - a radically another approach to the rational use of the screen.

So, Windows 8, designed for computers, is rightfully considered a failed operating system, and for the most part it is associated with an impractical interface. Not all users are used to clicking on the tiles on the screen, and few, in general, understood such an idea. But for phones such a system is suitable perfectly. But what operating system is better for a smartphone? Let's deal with further.

Smartphones with Android operating system

The most famous OS for gadgets in the world. This operating system was initially doomed to popularity. The fact is that all rights to "Android" owns Google Corporation and she is engaged in its development. Perhaps everything is familiar with this operating system, who has smartphones. It is an unconditional leader in its category. Other operating systems for smartphones can not even get closer to the "Android" indicators. Thus, according to the latest studies, about 75% of the issued smartphones over the past year have this "firmware" and even such a popular brand as iOS is content with its 15 percent.

Disadvantages of "Robot"

From the disadvantages of the operating system, it is possible to note that it has already come to everyone for a long time, and even though the updates and new versions of the system are regularly published, its interface and green men on the screen are bored. Plus, users are too often complaining about lags and system errors. It is not perfect at all, at least developers and took care that the updates go out quite often, respectively, they corrected errors and errors.

This system is strongly susceptible to attack a variety of viruses. In order to avoid this, you have to download additional antivirus programs. The reason for this problem most often becomes applications ordered from unverified sources and even the "Google" - Google Play, not always thoroughly checks its products. Now it remains to discuss only the advantages of the system.

Best operating system for smartphone

We can safely say that Android eclipsed almost all mobile operating systems. The smartphone on this OS perfectly reveals its capabilities. The first thing to be done should be established by the "Android" - to start your account in Google. Make it is not difficult: enough to have only Gmail mail, specify password and payment data. Another advantage of own account - It is one for all "Google" services, and if you want, for example, to synchronize a smartphone with other devices, it will not be difficult.

Google Play is an excellent application store, where you can find everything you like. It hits records by the number of high-quality and free applications than "Android" and won the hearts of many users.

The versions of operating systems for smartphones on the basis of "Android" are proudly carrying the names of sweets, and experienced users know where you can find "Easter eggs" hidden in each of these systems.

IOS.

With this title, all Apple products are familiar and, despite all the shortcomings, are committed to this operating system. The fact is that it is characterized by excellent quality, hence the price of gadgets. The system is not familiar with such a thing as lags and does not know what to "brake". Yes, exceptions sometimes happen, but they are so rare that no one pays attention to them. OS is very fast and understandable than and conquered the owners of iPhones. But now about the bad. If, for example, variations of models and firms-manufacturers of phones under the "android" even debug, then "IOS" is sharpened to be strictly under the "apple products", that is, there is no right to use this OS for other equipment.

Users "Apple"

It is quite obvious that the system did not gain popularity due to the high cost of Apple products. This "OPERATION" does not torment the viruses due to its unique program code based on Linux. All Apple devices are perfectly synchronized with each other, however, work with other operating systems from IOS causes difficulty. It is also very difficult to establish the operating system itself. Smartphone on "Android" can even "reflash" at home, but with Apple it is almost unreal.

All operating systems for smartphones have their advantages and disadvantages, but the choice is always yours.

We continue the line of articles dedicated to right choice good smartphone. How to choose the case material and smartphone screen, you can read. We go to the topic of choosing the best operating system.

The current gadgets in their functionality are as close as possible to the possibilities of a full-fledged computer. In the near future, they will be able to make decent competition. What is the difference between the big "hardware" from the pocket? Software, no more. Of course, the technical characteristics are important, but it is a high-quality operating system that is capable of establishing a proper course of work. The industry is ready to offer such an OS, and each of them is capable of maintaining a mobile device in its own way. Let's deal with how and what to choose the operating system for the smartphone that it was pleasure to work with the gadget.

Mobile operating systems: why it all started

The term of the mobile operating system itself entered into vocabulary by Nokia's vocabulary. Their device on the basis of Symbian for that period, and she went to the year 2001, was considered truly developed and advanced. A little later, the smartphones began to call all the phones with their own operating system. For example, Android is considered one of the popular systems of today, android, whose back is more than a billion supported devices.

No less well-known is the Windows Phone, now produced by Microsoft. It does not use so wide demand as the past, but has its devotees. Fast work, stability and simple interface - three whales, on which the operating room holds windows system Phone. Yes, and do not forget that it is collected on the basis of another well-known system for computers. Another popular operating system is the iOS from Apple. The main raisin lies in its closedness. "Apple" is not available for an ordinary user and cannot be viruses, which ensures the most comfortable conditions for work and use.

In addition to them, there are many other "Operations" for smartphones that are worse in the market much worse. These include, for example, BlackBerry, popular in narrow circles.

Obviously, it is important to have at least a general idea of \u200b\u200bthe most popular operating systems, to know their characteristics. So, the most expensive and promising is IOS. About the grace and potential of the same iPhone today can be recognized even from the child. In the operation of the operating system, it can be understood without unnecessary words, everything is clearly intuitive. Fee for convenience - an excessive IOS regeneration from the rest of the world. It is especially felt during the use or transmission of content, which is possible exclusively with the other such gadgets. It is also said about the high cost of it. Apple gadgets can afford not everyone due to their high cost. Additional programs are not from the Internet, but an official store, also cost money. In exchange for all IOS costs, it is ready to offer the quality of the Swiss watches, speed, return, grace and style.

Devices operating on the Android operating system are considered much more affordable. Unlike the past version, the owner can customize everything completely under himself and in the smallest detail. Most of the applications are free, the library contains an incomplete number of programs for every taste, and the smartphones themselves are presented in a wide price range. Like an Apple smartphones operating system, Android is remarkably adapted to working with information flows, in many aspects even better and more practical. However, all this is the high probabilities of catching the virus or confusion in their own settings. Sometimes even ordinary icons, which can be very impressive quantity, confuse.

Windows Phone is more suitable for all lovers of minimalism and sort of classicism. The operating system for smartphones is largely similar to his older brother both by simplified form and its capabilities. Data transfer and subsequent work with them is quite visual and easily organized that the maximum prevents the occurrence of unscheduled failures.

Regardless BlackBerry.

It was mentioned somewhat earlier. This operating system failed to fully expand the total opposition with the other competitors, which is why not everyone heard about it. OS is popular not only on touch phonesBut also on push-button, with a minimalistic QWERTY keyboard. The BlackBerry feature is in full support of services from the company "Developments". Absolute confidentiality of work on the Internet and its own encryption method. The operating system for smartphones is mostly used in the circle of famous commodities. The application library has more than 70 thousand copies. The system features allow, for example, to convert programs for the whim of Android. Among other things, the BlackBerry interface is simple enough and convenient, allowing you to work with documents without much difficulty. Settings with your flexibility are more similar to Android capabilities.

The main disadvantage of the operating system can be considered a meager functionality in the media plan. Listening to music, games, full use of messenjarmi - all this goes by. Actually, the system was originally created for the purpose and development of the business, which is emphasized with reliable and stable work with the rest of the remaining "stuffing".

Question of communication smartphones

Undoubtedly, the point "Communication" is the most important, since the developed system without the possibility of contacting the contact is not good anywhere. The benefit of the smartphone is different from an ordinary phone. In this regard, IOS and Android go to the comfort of comfort. The first operating system even possesses own function "Do not disturb" capable of controlling the sounds of notifications. Windows Phone also allows you to make calls, however for exchanging instant messages It uses its own system. It is worth noting that the same famous iMessage from Apple often works with delays (and only with other devices of the company), which will not say about Windows. With BlackBerry, everything is much simpler, because its capabilities have already stipulated: it works fine with messages.

Hello to all readers of my blog blog, do not even know how to call him right.
I bring to your attention an article that should help you decide on the choice of your future smartphone.
The market presents a huge abundance of smartphone models working on a wide variety of operating systems: Android, Symbian, Windows Phone, IOS, Bada, Megooo, Blackberry and others. The main convenience of the phone lies not only in the design, size of the screen, the frequency of the processor, the most basic is the operating system on which it works.

The price of the smartphone always develops out of several points: Cost software, brand, power of its "filling" and much more. So in the Soviet price, the average price of such a device today is about 10-11 thousand rubles. And this price is slow, but confidently, constantly strives. And the thing is that the "stuffed" features of phones every day are becoming more and more popular.

Let's consider in more detail each of the operating system popular today, let's talk about the positive and negative points of each of them:

1.Android - Google operating system.

It occupies the first line among operating systems for smartphones in the world. Works on the Linux platform. The company in 2008 was formed, a little later became the composition of Google. A lot of things changed from those times, and the functionality grows with each new version, almost every new day. Android has passed through a few generation versions from 1.0 to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. There are also versions that are optimized for work in tablet computers.
The advantages of the Android OS is that the operating system itself is as collected from all Google services, has a good price-functionality ratio. Because Android conditionally open operating system, it attracts his attention a large number of Developers of a variety of software from around the world, and this is today more than 1000.000 available applications and programs for every taste. There are, of course, useless, there are unnecessary, but mostly very useful and diverse and is always ready to help Android Market - android app store. Install the application will be able to any user using an ordinary installation file.
Smartphones working on android database, can boast of good speeds, and naturally than the "fresh" version, the more functional it, because In each subsequent version, the most progressive developments in the Linux medium are introduced. There is also a lot of a variety of amateur firmware, which makes it easy to diversify your smartphone.
Let's talk about some minuses of operating android systems. The first of them is a small functionality in the absence of the Internet, because Most of the functions of the smartphone are somehow closely related to the global network. The second drawback follows from the first - due to constant use mobile Internet - Quickly spent the charge of the battery of the smartphone. So, if you choose a smartphone on android, then take a larger capacity with a battery, will come in handy in the future.

2. Apple iOS. - Apple operating system.

This operating system works on the Darwin kernel, when writing which FreeBSD codes have been actively used. Apple company constantly expanding the lineup devices that work on iOS (and this is smartphones, tablet computers And even players). According to the popularity of IOS, it comes to "heels" android and its position she is unlikely to give him.
Apple iOS is a closed operating system that has free components. But I would not say that she is very closed, because "Home" developers work very tightly to "open" it. In its closedness, there are of course its minuses, i.e. The impossibility of shift external view Devys management, binding programs and applications to the App Store store. Synchronization with a computer rigidly related to program iTunes.which is also its activator. The complexity of working with office applications, most of which are paid, that is, if you need to read or edit some document, you may have to get some app from the App Store.
The advantages will still take the opportunity to work Exchange servers and multi-core processors. The disadvantages, of course, can be eliminated, but what to do with the lack of expansion of memory, "forever packaged" battery and large, for some "excellent", costs for such devices?
Looking on the other hand: a cool display from the iPhone 4, a camera, with the help of which some remove the cinema, the economical battery consumption. So the shape will give any device on Android.

3. Bada OS - SAMSUNG's own development.

Like iOS, Bada also refers to closed-type operating systems. She received some spread only in 2010. The main advantage of this OS is the ability to not focus on those or another framework of the rules of operating systems when developing mobile applications. At the moment, Samsung has taken a certain place in the "simple" smartphones in the Bada OS. Now you can see a sufficient number of smartphones on this operating system. More than 10,000 diverse applications are already available in the Samsung Apps
applications, both paid and free.
The disadvantages include a modest model range when choosing a device on the Bada platform, as well as, not such a large number of applications in Samsung Apps. Pros: Easy control, integrated DivX and XVID codecs, simultaneously solving multiple user tasks.
This OS has great perspectives in the event of new applications and the expansion of the model range.

4. BlackBerry OS - development of the Canadian company RIM.

The operating system was spoken back in 2002. Refers to Operations for business class phones. Also relates to a closed-type OS, based on the Java core. The main direction that this OS is aimed is the confidance of all sorts of compounds and negotiations. In July 2010, RIM announced the sale of a stop-alone smartphone of his brand. 1/6 part of all mobile devices The world is currently working on the BlackBerry operating system. For the normal operation of this operation, support from cellular operator. Installing additional software. Therefore, a certain inconvenience appears and in safe communications too. So the self-based telephones based on BlackBerry OS is obtained very expensive for both the user and the telecom operator. The company also cannot please the Company yet.
But for permanent users with email and office programs, this operating system is best suited for all others, and most BlackBerry phones for the convenience of working with all of the above have a full-fledged QWERTY keyboard. Choose to you.

5. Symbian OS - "Eternal" operating system from Nokia.

One of the most famous operating systems for smarphones is very popular in the past, but now Symbian OS resets the position of relatively rapidly growing Android and iOS. Created it in 1998, the system was initially open and, accordingly, immediately won half the smartphone market. Now the smartphones with Symbian ^ 3, Symbian Anna, Symbian Belle are offered on sale, Symbian S40 and S60 has been popular.
At the moment, the development of this operating system is suspended and, most likely, at all. Support will be carried out until 2016. Simply
the developers became boring, so many years improve the same thing. From disadvantages, you can note a very uncomfortable interface, very weak displays support with good permissions, Slow job OS itself and some of its instability. All attempts of developers at least somehow "cure" it can be accepted in vain and Symbian remains the slowest operational system among all those submitted at the moment.
Symbian has a big plus, but it was a long time ago, until 2008, when she was not competitors. Or they were, but the cost of them was very high.

6. Maemo or MeeGo - another attempt by Nokia developers.

Maemo - incomplete open OS, which is based on the system Debian Linux. While she did not get much distribution, because I turned into Meego, having gathered a "operating salad": Fedora, Debian and Moblin. Nokia promises to establish this OS not only on smartphones (by the way, Nokia N9 is the first smartphone on MeeGo), but also on tablet computers. Time will tell.

7. Windows Phone 7 is a new solution in the world of operating systems from Microsoft.

There are opinions that Windows Phone 7 is written with "pure sheet", based on the most recent innovative solutions in mobile world. The screen necessarily with the multitouch function (recognizes pressing multiple fingers), the processor of at least 1 GHz, the built-in memory of at least 8 GB, and the RAM of at least 256 MB. There are support for DirectX 9. Of the minuses - there is no support for applications created to previous versions. There is no multitasking, which is also unusual for the phone with such parameters. There is no Flash (soon promise to implement). Synchronization of data and all sorts of files requires the mandatory availability of a computer. The rest is all in the plus, and in good! Microsoft is still! Forgot to say, Bluetooth works only with the headset.

Conclusion.
Everyone knows that they have not yet come up with the very ideal operating system, some have shortcomings, there are positive moments. No such that one of the platforms is better than some other. Before buying a smartphone, be sure to decide for what purposes, besides calls and SMS, you will naturally use it, what tasks it should perform for you. I tried to carry all the information to you, which I have in my head. Think well before buying yourself a smartphone. Maybe you are still not ready? :)
