Comparing Android v1.0 and Symbian then, Symbian was way ahead Battery efficiency, privacy, multitasking and resources used which made it run smoothly even on low specs like iPhone, not Android that depends on heavy specs to run with accompanying heat and battery drag So if maybe we would have had Symbian v10 by now, who knows how it would be 12 Likes 1 Share |

I think the comparison should have been, if BlackBerry still holds its ground, which will you choose between it and Android? And most definitely, I would have gone for BlackBerry for privacy reasons, this Android is a surveillance gadget ish! |

ITbomb: Exactly. Symbian would have evolved to be a formidable alternative in the mobile phone market. I think the purchase of Nokia by Microsoft was significant to the end of Symbian. They had a running contract with the OS which could not be renewed due to the agreement Nokia and Microsoft had at the time. I am.not surprised at the outcome. |

questechie:Unfortunately, BlackBerry is Android now, though I think the privacy is still much better than what I experienced on Samsung. Nothing like the BBZ30 though. Posted on [url=https://blackberrymobile.com/uk/product/blackberry-motion/?campaign=%C2%B0C_-_S_-_Brand_]BlackBerry Motion[/url] |

The blunt truth is no matter the update Symbian might get, it Can never match up with the speed on Android. Donnot compare Symbian and Android 1 Like |

One thing android gave us over java, Symbian and black berry that you guys seem to take for granted is protection from viruses. U will be with ur files this instant, next your phone will go blank. I would use android 1.0 any day above the costliest Symbian device. This op too like suffering Nonsense |

I get it, you are feeling nostalgic but symbian is a thing of the dark ages of mobile telephoning. |

GraGra247: They do, but you gotta admit, android software protection is bae. Let's be practical, since you started using android, have a virus ever crashed the system? |

respect80:Symbian doesn't even come close to Android tweaking. |
| Re: If Symbian Was Still Available, Which Would You Choose Between It & Android? by respect80(m): 7:14am On Jul 18, 2019 |
BuhBye:When I say tweaking , I'm not talking of how much you could manipulate your phone which of course I know one has more access to hidden features in Android than Symbian. When I say tweaking, I mean free browsing cos that's what the word tweaking was centered on as at then. The truth is that our network providers were more vulnerable in that era of Symbian than they are now. Back then, helping people tweak their phones to gain access to free browsing was one of my source of income. |

princemillla:This is like so dumb, Clock speed is entirely on Hardware, they're talking about software here. Now that i think about it Symbian Os was far ahead then, with updates to the interface it could have been a rival to ios and android |
| Re: If Symbian Was Still Available, Which Would You Choose Between It & Android? by yusfatedeeprof(m): 2:57pm On Jul 19, 2019 |
Ovie56:Rival to what actually killed and buried it? symbian os died from the advent of android os and ios ........ The os can in no way match or compete with android or ios even at its best Like comparing agbalumo to strawberry |

ITbomb: But stnbian was never used on an iPhone so me no understand u oh. Meanwhile the way both is are designed is different. Right from Android version 1.0 it was obvious the os was designed for greater things, to run heavy apps and to be more productive and efficient which has been improved with every update. Stnbian on the other hand never had the same vision Android had or still have. I remember a few years again when I bought Nokia n8 which was the 1st phone to run symbian 3 os. Great phone, even Nokia in their adverts tried to mock apple by saying their phone can do a lot more than iPhones. They didn't dare to mock Android then because they know symbian is never a match for Android. As a matter of fact if symbian os was still available now it would have died a natural death. No match for iOS not to talk of Android. Even windows phone tried and failed. |
| Re: If Symbian Was Still Available, Which Would You Choose Between It & Android? by Nobody: 4:20pm On Jul 19, 2019 |
yusfatedeeprof: Correct. I don't even know what some people are thinking comparing those 2. Symbian died because Android and iOS took center stage and symbian couldn't compete. Even windows phone came out and couldn't match up. Android is everywhere, on phones, tablets, TV's, refrigerators, car stereos, watches. Etc. The possibility is limitless. It is way way ahead of symbian. 1 Like |

yusfatedeeprof:Thrash, Did you see android and ios when it first started? they wa're way below symbian os , but they got better with time, you remember the time of froyo right, cup cake, Doughnuts compared to the Sysmbian Os on E90 comunicator? 1 Like |
| Re: If Symbian Was Still Available, Which Would You Choose Between It & Android? by yusfatedeeprof(m): 8:56pm On Jul 19, 2019 |
Ovie56:So are you trying to say if symbian os development haven't been discontinued it would have surpass the current android 9.0 iteration? We are not comparing the first versions of android os and symbian os here but the os itself and its potentials and abilities |
| Re: If Symbian Was Still Available, Which Would You Choose Between It & Android? by Nobody: 9:41pm On Jul 19, 2019 |
Ovie56: Bro what are u saying sef? IOS was a game changer. It was the turning stone to how a mobile phone OS should look like. Even the 1st version of IOS clearly was better than the highest version of Symbian then. Android came to tackle IOS, Symbian was never a match for those 2 and that was why it naturally died. |
| Re: If Symbian Was Still Available, Which Would You Choose Between It & Android? by Ovie56(m): 9:47pm On Jul 19, 2019 |
yusfatedeeprof:Im not saying it will surpass with certainty, but it has potentials to be great |
