"The Last of the Mohicans": Nokia PureView 808 Camera Phone
According to the last published article in the Financial Times magazine, Finnish Nokia is going to “kill” the Symbian operating system already this summer, that is, not waiting for 2016, when its official support will cease (as the early reports of Stephen Elop said). So far, this information is not officially confirmed by Nokia itself, but the publisher is more inclined towards such a development of events.
In the first quarter of 2013, the company sold 500,000 smartphones based on Symbian. Sales of Nokia devices running Windows Phone 8 are not impressive, but they are still growing. Therefore, Nokia decided to remove the platform from the market, which, according to her, can interfere with the slow, but steady growth of Windows Phone popularity.
According to the representative of Nokia, the transition to Windows Phone 8 as a key platform has become a very correct decision. At least this conclusion can be drawn from the following statement:
“It took 22 months to develop a Symbian phone. In the case of Windows Phone, it took less than a year. Now we do not waste time digging in the source code, and we are working more on creating and improving the functionality associated with photos, maps, music and applications in general, that is, those things that are aimed at improving the quality of the final user experience. "
Again, Nokia has not yet confirmed that it will stop supporting the Symbian platform this year. However, the company had already reported that the Nokia PureView 808 was the latest device running this platform, released by the company.
