If you have a certain age, you will remember different types of systems and brands. Blackberry He had his own, and before the arrival of Android, the Symbian They were the kings of mobile devices, however, what happened to them? Is any day still?
One of my first phones was Windows PhoneBecause yes, the Microsoft company also opted for these teams, although it did not succeed, as we can see today, where to find a brand that is not Android or iPhone is complicated.
Although it is true that some of them, such as Windows Phone that we have just discussed, are no longer marketed on new devices, there are people who still use them, so they would enter the market share, which is composed, apart from the two large, of the following: of the following:
- Kaios: An Linux -based operating system used in basic phones. Although it does not have a large market share, it is popular in emerging markets, especially in countries in Asia and Africa, for being light and economical.
- Harmonyos (Huawei): Created by Huawei as an alternative to Android, due to the sanctions of the United States. He is winning some land, mainly in China, but outside that country his presence remains small.
- Ubuntu Touch: A mobile version of Ubuntu, focused on privacy and free software. Although it is not massive, it has followers in specific niches, especially in cybersecurity and in people who like to experiment above Android.
- Sailfish OS (Jolla): Based on Linux, this system has an approach to privacy and personalization. Like Ubuntu Touch, it has a small market share and is aimed at users who are looking for something different from Android or iOS. Recall that Android is simply Linux, so this would be variants of something we already know.
- Windows Phone (Microsoft): Although it is no longer developed or supported, Windows Phone, as we explained, was a competitor who failed to attract enough users and his market share has almost completely disappeared, focusing more on computers, which is what they know how to do.
Although it may seem that there are more than you thought, This quota does not reach 1%so they are residual, and unless Kaios or Huawei can grow a little, we will not really see a real competitor to the two main and current.
And you, what phones have you had that they don't possess android or iOS? The truth is that they are not popular for years, so, as in my case, if you have used them, you will be some age, because these two market leaders already have it being a lot, and dethroning them seems to cost a lot, or at least in the coming years. Leave us a comment with your experience in them, and if you would like a new competitor to appear, trying to put pressure so that everyone will end up improving due to competition. It could be interesting.
