Android and Symbian are both open-sourced OS. Symbian at the time was the most popular mobile OS worldwide (Nokia being its biggest proponent) until Android surpassed it around 2011. Part of Symbian's fall was that much of its licensed source code was restricted to only member companies. In comparison, Android's licensed source code is relatively free of restrictions, which helped spur its use among manufacturers, carriers, and the developer community.

∙ 10y agoSymbian OS was a popular mobile operating system in the early days of smartphones, used by many manufacturers at the time but mostly by Nokia. It ran on ARM platforms, and it had its own native (Symbian) kernel. Android OS is one of the most popular operating systems today, used by many manufacturers. It runs on multiple platforms, and has a Linux-based kernel. To date, the Nokia 808 Pureview (released in 2012) is the last smartphone to use Symbian OS.
