Details:
Tizen is a mobile operating system developed by The Linux Foundation that runs on a wide range of Samsung devices, including smartphones; tablets; in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices; smart televisions; smart cameras; smartwatches; Blu-ray players and smart home appliances.
MeeGo is a Linux distribution hosted by the Linux Foundation, using source code from the operating systems Moblin (produced by Intel) and Maemo (produced by Nokia). Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo was designed to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as netbooks, tablet computers, mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, SmartTV, smart phones, and other embedded systems.
webOS is a Linux kernel-based multitasking operating system for smart devices such as smart TVs and it has been used as a mobile operating system. Initially developed by Palm, Inc. (which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard), HP made the platform open source, at which point it became Open webOS. The operating system was later sold to LG Electronics.
Firefox OS (project name: Boot to Gecko) was an open-source operating system - made for smartphones, tablet computers and smart TVs - designed by Mozilla and external contributors. It is based on the rendering engine of the Firefox web browser, Gecko, and on the Linux kernel. It was first commercially released in 2013. The applications use open standards and approaches such as JavaScript and HTML5, a robust privilege model, and open web APIs.
The Nokia Asha platform is a mobile operating system (OS) and computing platform designed for low-end borderline smartphones, based on software from Smarterphone which was acquired by Nokia. The platform inherits UI similarities from Symbian, Maemo and MeeGo, and replaces Series 40 on Nokia's low-end devices.The user interface design team was headed by Peter Skillman, who had worked previously on webOS and the design of MeeGo. Apps for the platform are either made using Java ME, or as web apps, which are rendered by the Nokia Xpress browser which uses the Gecko rendering engine.
BlackBerry 10 is a proprietary mobile operating system for the BlackBerry line of smartphones, both developed by BlackBerry Limited (formerly Research In Motion). BlackBerry 10 is based on QNX, a Unix-like operating system. It supports the application framework Qt and in some later models features Android runtime.
Symbian is a discontinued mobile operating system (OS) and computing platform designed for smartphones. Symbian was originally developed as a closed-source OS for PDAs in 1998 by the Symbian Ltd. consortium. Symbian OS was a descendant of Psion's EPOC, and ran exclusively on ARM processors. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Meego is so ahead of its time, the icons, the gesture, the aod, the multitasking and the whole theme of it.
I know because I have an Nokia N9
Am i the only one who feels sad and sympathetic to all these dead os.?. 😥
Not alone
I don't!
Best two survived
You are not alone
yeah, imagine worker's hardship
Meego was the best man.
Better than most of the others.
What a said irony there is at the end of this video. Came here to see the development of Sailfish OS by the way.
But you were like: it is difficult to survive in such a crowded mobile OS landscape. And at the moment we have 2 main ones. Hopefully we'll see more. I truly hope KDE Plasma Mobile thingy will become a bit more popular. Also, Ubuntu Touch isn't completely dead. It's still being supported by the community at UBPorts ;-). So it's kind of... On life support.
@@deantech8103 Arch Linux is not a 'KDE distro' bruh it's just a minimal base. It's not designed around any of the major desktop environments
ubuntu touch and firefox os showed great potential, one being backed by Canonical, the other being built using Web technologies (which is much like Tizen nowadays). It's sad to see both fade away. Although I still have some hope for the Sailfish OS.
Although FirefoxOS is getting a revival with FinnOS
Blackberry OS10 is still incredibly usable... Even in 2020, using the built in Android runtime 4.3 emulation I can get a few popular android apps running such as Whatsapp, Messenger Lite and even Discord worked on my blackberry classic (although on discord voice chat didn't work but texting was fine)
Funny, in the past few days I had been wondering what were the differences between the many different mobile OS that popped up over the years. Very good and informative video, thanks.
the good old times, even android manufacturers had different skins, now all are turning to the same material design looking stock android,
It depends... Personally, I was really annoyed because of the inconsistency, everything looked like a big mess with various styles, icons etc.
poor symbian..if only they can hold little bit longer and taste snapdragon processor
True....
Have you played 7 days Salvation
For Symbian
Nothing wouldve changed, sysmbian at its core was just only good for low end hardware, its software was very limited compared to modern smartphone os's, they would have to put a insane amount of work to rewrite it totally which is imo just pointless.
@@Sohil876 nice but don't you think Symbian and windows phone could have developed with time like android and iOS. No one in gingerbread days thought that Android was gonna be more amazing as today.
@@sharishth yeah but like i said sysmbian was desined from its core for non touch devices and was really only good for low end hardware (current standards) if nokia rewrote it from scratch and consumers waited patiently when there are other os's much better already on market it wouldve like any os become something, but that would be just pointless and that just applies to any os, android from core was designed for touch screens and was aimed at future hardware so even when it was android cupcake 1.x (ive been using it from a while back) it was loads ahead of symbian anyways, the really good thing about android (and still is) it was free for manufacturers so brought the cost down even for consumers a lot and made possible for better hardware on lower price and its open source nature meant heaven for modders and power users, no way windows phone or sysmbian couldve competed with it. Windows phone was really a fail from the start, even after release there were many basic features that even symbian had it was missing and was closed source ofc, i never will understand why microsoft ditched a perfectly awesome os like windows mobile and started from scratch with win phone7 when android and ios were really dominant in the os race with being ahead of anything else, so they really didnt have any chance, as far as windows phone is concerned, im glad it failed, im not a fan of closed down os's.
It was buggy, but not bad OS
Is there a chance that you can review the latest Sailfish OS 3?
Great collection bro
From all the unique operating systems, I wish Sailfish would succeed the most. It has a pleasing look, quite intuitive to use & runs very smooth even on older stuff.
the nokia N9’s software and hardware doesn’t look outdated even today, almost a decade later.
That specific BlackBerry runs OS7 though, which was something of its thing instead of QNX
My favorite portable Linux system back in the day was Maemo OS
For me Meego is the best !! :)
me to
me too
1.2 meego
This is your daily dose of Recommendation
Unique novely smartphone OS
Linux smartphone OS yay
Android is a version of Linux
@@pokeguy_ ikr. But it's heavily modified. Not even able to run arm or x86 Linux binary if not wrong. Please this must be wrong
The BlackBerry bold had BBOS 7 not 10
Bb10 can be game changing but blackberry stopped
I used BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Passport they offered very unique features, like swipe up to minimize an app and touch enabled physical keyboard.
Not to mention the trackpad was its primary navigation tool; omitting it from the initial BB10 qwerty phones (stupidly isolating the BB10 Development Team from the experienced BBOS Development Team) split the market dooming BlackBerry.
When You Find Android Pie Like Recents with Dock In One Of These Old OS😆😆
Great video. ❤ Thanks😊
Wow, you have all on your collection
im still missing my MAEMO5 experience... i have the n900 (purchased in 2009) single core (600mHz) and 1gb ram (256mb physical and 768 virtually/whatever that means!) and still it runs as good as last years flagships... the screen wasnt made of glass... but thats the only downside
Sailfish os is best
so...
when u purchase and review Sailfish OS device?
i bought one from india for less than $100 before (intex aquafish)
Man I remember I had a Samsung wave 525 that ran BadaOS, and it was SO good, it still works !
symbian we will miss you so much 😢
Symbian os ruled the Market for years best os best battery life ,secure and fast i miss the time where you download themes and games , applications .. i Played Gameboy games in nokia Emulator or dosbox for symbian
I even played Quake 3 pc Version on it...
I was also fan of themes apps and pre loaded apps of Nokia's symbian but sadly it is past now. I am crying in android
I love these types of videos, please make videoa on like, living with Symbian and sailfish os in 2019......
Interesting to see Tizen still living in smartwatches and TVs
i had high hopes on MeeGo but Nokia mistakenly abandoned it, then Ubuntu but manufacturers preferred Android. There must be alternatives to Android as it became more like a Google service only phone
Make a massive video on all mobile OS comparison
Android, ios, symbian, bada, tizen, windows phone old n new, Firefox, unbuntu, blackberry, palm etc
I'm gonna miss my old BlackBerry Curve 9220 (the 2G EDGE variant of the 9320) so much.
I too am trying to build such a nice collection
realy nice. thanks!!
Nokia 501... my dream phone STILL in 2019. (I use a GS7) just want a 501
Nice to see minimalist people here. I wish I had the Nokia 501. It's better than my phone XD
Forgot Windows Phone 8, I had two of those phones. Loved the tiles.
You should include kai os also
Do you think Asha or MeeGo OS will work on Sony Ericsson Satio U1i ( runs on Symbian OS)? ...Thanks
one of the best reviews.i enjoyed this trip back,
upvote for meego which is the best ever
I want an OS for my phone I can trust. I'm willing to give up functionality for having all software Open Source.
Ios
@@resonanceofambition Copperhead is just Android, but modified for security. Still has Google's proprietary spyware. Just stops other people from spying on you.
@@WIImotionmasher Yeah, well. Apart from Lineage there is very little to find. Besides, nothing stopping you from removing it.
Try ubports (formerly Ubuntu Touch). It works very well if you can live with limited apps.
Windows 7 Theme on the ZTE Axon M w/Swiftpoint GT Bluetooth Wireless Mouse🤘
There was an htc device with BREW OS
Rip windows (Nokia lumia 820)!!! Love their live tiles and secure clean smooth experience!
I've had FirefoxOS phone as well as SailfishOS Jolla phone.
probably want a nokia n9 because of Meego Harmattan OS
I miss Asha :( it was cute
Elements of all of these OS' live on in Android and iOS. Looking forward to seeing Huawei's new Ark OS.
Maybe it could be very good OS
That Nokia that ran on Meego OS still looks more beautiful than most smartphones today.
More like Nokia Android smartphones are the best
Its kind of weird that i actually went through a few of these
Symbian: Nokia C6
Asha: Nokia Asha
Meego: Nokia N9
Bada: samsung wave(forgot which one)
yes, i was a nokia fanboy. the battery life and camera was fantastic at the time. i was not disatisfied with them. battery is great too. i remember my nokia C6 lasting more than a few days on a single charge plus i have an extra battery so i didnt have problems with it.(i had a Nokia Lumia 720 which got jacked from me. it was my favorite phone too )
some of my past phones were
Alcatel flash 2, Sony Xperia Neo V, Huawei GR5 2017, a free phone from a local service provider(the one with the T9 keyboard and black and orange screen), a something xpress music nokia phone, a random china phone immitation which acts like an iphone but is a slider(idk why i bought that lol) nokia C3(was just given to me) and a nokia phone which i forgot the name. it looks like a 2003 model with a camera. it has mms features and a realy tiny screen. i think it hast GPRS connection (LOL) it looks like a 3210.
ubuntu mobile seemed so good, what went wrong...
I have an ZTE Axon M with Windows 7 🤘🤘
I envy you
Here to shed a tear for webOS, the single most innovative mobile OS of the early smartphone era.
MeeGo on Nokia N9 was superb
Still love the OS the J2me Sony Ericssons had.
*3:00* 😂😭
I have an old samsung j5. Can you recommend some linux os. And a tutorial to install? Thankssssss
Man your the best 👍👍👍👍👍
I learnt Tizen had many security loopholes is it true?
Kinda a shame some of these failed and we ended up stuck with just android and ios
I remember looking up to firefox os and bb10 hoping they'd succeed
i wasn't around at symbian era but I remember sometime earlier this year (2019) i was looking around for info about symbian and i seen a user comment on an old news article about symbian from about i think 2010, the comment went on about how symbian wouldn't fail and how it would recover, unfortunete for the user behind that comment he was ended up very wrong and symbian eventually flopped entirely
from my searching symbian looked like it was a decent system shame it had some bad luck around 2009-2012ish that caused it to die out (i wonder what changes in history it would take for symbian to have a different fate tbh)
also speaking of alternate platforms (perticularly linux based ones) it might be worth taking a look at purisms librem 5, its a current in progress project and their goal is to make a pure linux based phone with privacy at its core
Whether or not it'll succeed idk, but i am hopeful as it looks interesting
Hi ! Bro.
Im from vietnam ! So ... Can you name all the devices on the table? please ! Bro !!!
Does anyone know what make the transparent Firefox is?
So interesting
This Bb is an old model. Newer ones had realy different OS which was more like Meego with Hub. I really miss Blackberry 10 OS
WebOS seems so smooth
BadaOS is actually an interesting OS
I owned a Samsung Jet and it had enough CPU power to make it boot into Android. I hacked my bootloader that it would permanently boot from SD Card and I had a beautiful Android 2.* / Cyanogenmod 7.1 phone that only had problems with FM Radio and the mobile data connection but after all, it was Android and that's what I really enojed while running this OS.
It gave me enough time to save money for about 3 years and buy my first Android smartphone which was the LG E460 Optimus L5 II and it was running Android 4.0.1
Still own both of the phones but I don't use them anymore since they're too slow, I'm already owning an Xiaomi Smartphone with Android 9 and although I need a secondary phone, I gonna wait till Librem 5 Linux smartphone gets released
Bada is sooo stupid and hard for app devs
Why would you show bbos 7 instead of bbos 10?
Blackberry is a world's best phone
I'm looking for a privacy, security-focused mobile OS. I am more sensitive to privacy than the Edward Snowden incident. The OS is good for open source. Which one is the best?
I would very much like the answer to this question, I hate the fact that I pay monthly for a gov spy that logs and records my movements, conversations, pictures, nothing is private anymore, fuck this planet!
#Meego is Unique 😘😘
Firefox OS was a good idea, shame it couldn't be revelant against Android and iOS. HTML5 webapps are so much more practical than regular apps.
But sh1tty games
powerful os is meego when Nokia ended partnership with intel and linux foundation then intel linux foundation and Samsung tried to make a os like meego which named as Tizen but they failed in smartphones but in other Samsung devices tizen is performing good
It's not Asha OS. It's Symbian S40 I believe.
My favorite is Blackberry 10 OS... The gesturebased navigation and Hub are top notch! I kinda don't get why Blackberry switched to Android when their 10 OS had / or has, I'm stil using Z10 as my personal phone, an emulation layer that allowed to run Android applications. They even include Amazon App Store... Sure they have their suite apps on Android but they don't feel so polished and smooth running as on 10 OS.
I have owned iOS and Android (currently using an iPhone). My take on the ideal OS is as follows:
I want an Android OS device that gets immediate updates (and received major FEATURE updates for longer than 3 years).
I loved Android and it’s customization (never grow bored of my device) but damn do they slow down after a year or so. And I really disliked not receiving updates after 2 years on my Galaxy devices.
Nokia N series should be continued.....with their own os's..
They are still very good i think
Ubuntu is my favourite
Would love to load up Ubuntu mobile on some old devices - does anyone have the image?
You could try ubports, it is still supported as of now
KDE make a phone OS and it's still in development
Various Linux-based smartphone OS? Well Symbian and BlackBerry Isn't one of them. You mentioned BB10 but the device you showed is the one from old RIM days and it's closed source, the Bold with BBOS 7 based on Java.
You even got Symbian wrong. It's based on closed source EPOC platform.
you forget the nokia's N900 Maemo Platform
Mego is best
Ubuntu Touch looks fantastic.
They were great once
Plasma mobile?
Lineage OS?
i had high hopes for my Nokia N9 back in the days, but could resist iPhone
7:55 Windows Mobile has no official TH-cam application =D
Don't leave out Nokia Nxx0 series! N900, N810, N800 are all great attempts of doing Linux on phones.
Mmmm.. Well.. Samsung z2 has tizen configuration
You can check it out!
And I still own one
Good
5:10 galaxy on fire 2)
Ubuntu had 2 hardware partners that sold a phone with ubuntu preinstalled
symbian could return in feature phones like kaios
What model is that small nokia phone (3:50)? I just knew nokia phones have always on displays 😂
Nokia asha 501
Samsung now uses Tizen on some of their TVs
I've used Firefox , tizen , Symbian , blackberry
wheir is windows os
I miss my nokia n900 with maemo 5.
meego / maemo?
