I am using a “smartphone”. Here are the specs: A 5-inch qHD+ screen, a quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, 5MP and 2MP cameras, 2000mAh battery, and runs Android 11 Go Edition. Android Go is touted to be the OS that is easy on the mobile resources. But my experience using this “smartphone” is dismal. The battery life is a joke. The applications crash. And privacy is, well no words for it. Looking at what was available before the availability of Android and iOS, we see that Symbian was a world leader in the mobile OS space. And they were fanatic about battery life, security and reliability and customisability of Symbian OS. They use to go an extra mile to see to it that the development of the OS does not affect these basic requirements. Symbian was right all along in its approach to mobile OS development.
