Symbian ^4 coming 2011

Symbian ^4 UI First Look

Posted by Farhan on January 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The Symbian Foundation today released the images for UI proposed by Nokia for Symbian ^4 operating system based on QT , which also works on Maemo platform and as Symbian Foundation wrote “ Qt-based UI layer is intended to supersede the S60 Avkon UI Framework “ so expect an all new OS outlook . There is also a lot of technical jargon which I’ll skip and drop straight to the pix


As you can see that Symbian is moving more towards multi screen standby , not the simple twin mode in E71 , E72 but three full screens of customizable widgets , hence the three dots in the bottom of the pic along with the extra large clock widget superimposed over back graphic . Symbian 4 also tends to be more inclined towards touch screen with the keypad icon , supports drop down menus like in Nokia 5800 with the small arrow pointing down . The battery and Cell strength indicator are also shifted to one corner . With the networks increasing their presence and lessening white areas, I think the cell strength could be a waste of on screen resources and the phone can simply beep or give out a warning once the signal strength drops certain threshold . There seem to be support for customizable widgets and where to place them as the Clock Widget seems superimposed and seems that it could be moved . Given the small screen factor , can the widgets ne resized , Nokia could work on it , I can simply resize the image making the image and text smaller as a pic . There is a todo list which again is superimposed and later email etc widgets could also be added

In the image viewer , it’s more or less like that of Nokia’s beta Image Viewer with scrolling options and tight integration with OVI Share .

OVI is coming out to be big in Nokia’s strategy and is being complemented with many other services ranging from emails to apps download to pics , hopefully but than it will be available in Pakistan

Video Player in landscape mode , shows the transparent bar , which is new in Symbian and solid icons are already being used in N900 / Maemo

In all I like the new UI , the first devices are expected in Q1 2011 so the wait is not so long . I’m expecting the first devices to show up at Nokia World 2010.

Hmm...n00b chiming in here.

Don't they already have that new OS running? Meebo? Meemo or whatever it's called? Why would they supersede it with Symbian 4?

I think they're a bit too late.
Nice try, Nokia.

Maemo. It's another, separate stream. Dual-OS strategy.

Only Nokia phone, yes. Also the only Maemo 5 device available. Older Maemos are available on the Nokia tablets.

Thought they said they weren't going to release a symbian 4 because they had a large asian market.

This isn't S60 4th Edition (a.k.a. S60 5th), but Symbian ^4. Something else entirely.
