Symbian OS is an operating system developed specifically for mobile devices. It is essentially a platform for computing built for use in smart phones. Presently it is closed source and is not free to access. It has a multilingual support.

Overview

It was originally designed and developed by the Symbian Foundation in the year 2009, with the intention of making it an open source that is freely accessible to all.

Brands using Symbian include Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. Nokia built the S60 platform and launched it in the year 2002 for Symbian, thereby causing an assent in its fame and popularity. During this period Nokia ruled the world of smart phones single handed. At a time when the use of smart phones was very limited, till the end of 2010, Nokia became the number one phone to initiate the use of OS thereby initiating and establishing the smart phone industry.  After that, the use of OS became more common and by the beginning of 2011, it became worldwide when the throne occupied by Nokia was usurped by the Androids, as Google took over the market with its partners.

The new software that is based on Symbian was then developed and supported by Accenture for Nokia. The last model of smart phone with Symbian from Nokia officially is Nokia 808 Pure View. Nokia has completely ceased to order new Symbian software as of 2014.
