Nokia will launch Linux mobile phones

Article title: Nokia will launch Linux mobile phones. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

In the fiercely competitive smartphone market, Nokia, the world's first mobile phone manufacturer, takes the lead in its market share with the world's hot S60 mobile phone. However, Nokia does not seem to be satisfied with its achievements in this field. In addition to introducing the touch operation mode on the S60 platform and continuing to vigorously develop the system platform products, Nokia is also interested in entering other intelligent operating system fields, the more open-minded Linux system seems to be Nokia's final choice. According to Reuters, Nokia multimedia department spokesman KariTuutti said: We will expand the scope of our products in the system platform, while the Linux platform will become a growing role.

In fact, although Nokia announced that it would launch a Linux system mobile phone, Nokia has been involved in Linux system products from the past to the present, for example, N800 and N810 Linux "Internet Tablet" products are installed.

At the same time, when Google joined hands with many Giants last year to release the Android open-source mobile phone operating system, the Nokia spokesman Kari Tuutti said: "Nokia is not sure to join the alliance. If you join the alliance, Nokia will also consider the benefits of Nokia's development ."

More notably, Rick Simonson, Nokia's chief financial officer, said at an investor conference that Linux phones would be very important, in addition, Nokia will develop a Linux-based mobile phone in the future and sell it in the market.

In addition to the official statement, Nokia has already taken initial actions in product development. By the end of January this year, Nokia announced a public acquisition of the software supplier Trolltech to speed up the implementation of the company's "software strategy. In the past, Lenovo Mobile, ZTE (000063 quotations, shares bar) and Datang Mobile in China were all using the company's development tools for Linux mobile phone development. In addition, according to overseas media reports, Nokia has sponsored a program for migrating Ubuntu Linux to the arm architecture.

Ubuntu is currently the most common version of Linux, which also means Nokia will further increase investment in the Linux system. I believe that with the maturity of the Ubuntu mobile phone system, it is expected that Nokia 8.04 will be launched soon.

In the current market environment, the Linux system is being promoted by hardware vendors due to its inherent open-source advantages, and the development momentum is good. In particular, Google has joined hands with many giants to launch the "Open Mobile Alliance" and the advent of the Linux-based Android platform, as well as the participation of major competitors such as Samsung, Motorola, and LG not only to a certain extent the Linux System Lineup, in addition, Nokia is under great pressure.

Although we know that Nokia's smart terminal products have always been dominated by Symbian, the addition of Ubuntu will still break the dominant situation of the Symbian system and the S60 platform in the Nokia mobile phone family. However, attaching importance to the Linux platform does not mean that the S60 series will be replaced, it means that Nokia will win more market share in the smartphone system market with a more positive attitude and comprehensive strategy. However, there is no specific timetable for the official launch of Nokia Linux mobile phones.
