Why can't a mobile phone change the system, Zhihu?

Hardware and software are different, and the system needs their support.

The mobile phone system is an operating system running on the mobile phone, a program to manage and control the hardware and software resources of the mobile phone, and the most basic system software running directly on the "bare metal".

Application platform

The platform of mobile phone system is mobile phone. As a member of mobile phones, smart phones are universal. Non-smart phones can be said to be the representative of early mobile phones. Some enterprises and individuals are also using it. Because of its powerful anti-virus function and ultra-low internet traffic, it is sought after by some people. Nowadays, 3G non-smart phones are becoming the love of many new super people, but the advantages of smart phones are incomparable to non-smart phones.

Brief introduction of each system

1. Android system

HTC G 1 operating interface Android is an open source mobile phone operating system based on Linux platform developed by Google. It includes operating system, user interface and application programs-all the software needed for the mobile phone to work, and there are no proprietary obstacles that hindered innovation in the mobile industry in the past. Google and open handset alliance jointly developed Android, and the alliance consists of more than 30 leading companies in technology and wireless applications, including China Mobile, Motorola, Qualcomm, HTC and T-Mobile. Through in-depth cooperation with operators, equipment manufacturers, developers and other related parties, we hope to form an open ecosystem in the mobile industry by establishing a standardized and open mobile phone software platform. We believe that this will promote better and faster innovation and provide unpredictable applications and services for mobile users.

As an important part of Google's strategy, Android will further promote the realization of the company's goal of "providing information to everyone anytime and anywhere". We found that a large number of mobile phone users around the world have never used any mobile phone based on Android system. Google's goal is to make (mobile communication) independent of devices and even platforms. For this purpose, Android will complement rather than replace Google's long-standing mobile development strategy: develop useful and attractive mobile services and promote these products by forming partnerships with global mobile phone manufacturers and mobile operators.

The establishment of open handset alliance and the launch of Android are significant changes to the status quo, which requires a lot of patience and high investment to bring initial benefits. However, we believe that the potential benefits that global mobile users can gain from it are worth these efforts. If you are also a developer and are interested in our ideas, please give us another week, when Google can provide SDK. If you are a mobile user, just wait a little longer. Some of our partners plan to launch mobile phone products based on Android platform in the second half of 2008. If you already have a mobile phone that you are familiar with and love, please log on to the Google Mobile website to make sure that you have installed Google Mobile Maps, Gmail and other wonderful applications specially developed for your mobile phone. Google will continue to make efforts to make these services better, and will also add more attractive features, applications and services.
