2021 mobile phone system fluency rankings
When it comes to fluency, many users will think of the iPhone. As the "first brother" Apple in the mobile phone industry, iOS on the iPhone is also considered by many to be the smoothest mobile phone system. With the improvement of Android mobile phone performance, mobile phone manufacturers are also constantly optimizing the bottom layer of the system. At present, the fluency of domestic mobile phones has not lost to Apple. With the unique high screen of the Android flagship, the visual fluency can even partially surpass that of the iPhone. For the fluency of Android phones, well-known evaluation agencies have also released a list, which can give you a glimpse of the fluency of Xin mobile phones. The mobile phone fluency test includes system file copying, desktop sliding, web page loading, App usage, picture viewing, etc. According to the operating performance of the mobile phone, the fluency and optimization degree of each model system are comprehensively obtained.
Surprisingly, flagship models such as Xiaomi did not make the list, and the ranking was OnePlus 9R. OnePlus is a mobile phone brand owned by OPPO. After several years of development, it has become a "dark horse" brand that cannot be ignored in the mobile phone industry. After the reorganization, Yi Jia announced his return to OPPO. Relying on OPPO resources and marketing, Yijia will have greater development in the future.
Hydrogen OS is recognized as the smoothest Android system in the industry, and it is the leader in the Android camp in terms of response speed and smoothness of operation. However, the extremely thin and smooth foundation, close to the native Android experience, is also criticized because of the addition of such a hydrogen OS.
After the release of the OnePlus 9 series, OnePlus announced that it will use the new ColorOS as the default operating system. Although the system has added a lot of functions, the extremely thin and smooth system experience of the original hydrogen OS has been perfectly preserved. The OnePlus 9R is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 870 processor, which optimizes the system fluency, and the overall experience is excellent, ranking first in fluency.
In today's highly homogeneous mobile phone configuration, it is not easy for mobile phone fluency to stand out. Compared with the top-level hardware, software and systems are more important, and the operating system of mobile phones is also more and more concerned by users. After all, using a mobile phone every day is just to deal with the system. Compared with Xiaomi OV, as a new brand, it is not easy to catch up in fluency.
The past and present of the mobile operating
system The technical difficulty of making an operating system is not difficult, but the ecological difficulty is the most difficult.
Without history, there is no future. Let’s take a look at the history of mobile operating systems, what kind of environment is Hongmeng in, and where will Huawei go.
Looking back on history, the earliest smartphone operating system in the world is Symbian (Symbian). In 1998, Psion officially joined Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola to form Saipan to attack the mobile phone operating system market. As an open platform, anyone can develop software for Symbian-enabled devices. In 1999, Saipan launched the world's first mobile phone operating system, and in 2000, Ericsson R380 equipped with Symbian (Symbian) system was released. In 2004, Nokia acquired the equity of Symbian and gained control. Nokia's popularity also brought Symbian to glory. Around 2006, Saipan became the "first brother" of the smartphone operating system, with a market share of over 70%.
In 2005, the mobile operating system market welcomed two heavyweight "players". In that year, Google announced that it would invest in the Android system developed by Andy Rubin. Subsequently, Google released the source code of Android under the authorization of the Apache open source license. The other is BlackBerry, which was released in 2005 with the release of BlackBerry OS 4.1.
To be precise, Symbian (Saipan) started to decline in 2007 until it was eliminated in 2013, which lasted for 6 years. It was Android that drove Saipan off the stage of history. In 2007, Apple launched the first-generation iPhone, setting off a wave of touch-screen mobile phones. Of course, Nokia was gradually overtaken by Apple. It is worth noting that when the iPhone came out, it released its own operating system, iOS, and gained a firm foothold through a combination of software and hardware. By 2010, the world's mainstream mobile phone operating system has been the world of Android, iOS and BlackBerry OS.
In 2010, Microsoft announced the launch of the mobile operating system Windows Phone 7 (hereinafter referred to as WP). In 2012, Nokia officially announced the abandonment of the Symbian brand. Due to focusing on Nokia's accumulation on Saipan, in 2013, Microsoft did not hesitate to acquire Nokia's mobile phone business for 3.79 billion euros, and wanted to make WP bigger. At the same time, "Saipan" also announced that it would completely withdraw from the operating system.
At that time, the industry had high hopes for WP. Later, with the decline of BlackBerry, the mobile operating system has come to a situation of "three pillars" of Google, Microsoft and Apple.
However, after the emergence of Apple and Android, they did not leave much room for other operating systems, and WP only survived for less than 8 years. The later operating systems have been firmly occupied by Android and Apple. According to statistics from Statcounter, a global website communication traffic monitoring agency, as of April 2019, Google Android accounted for 74.85% of the mobile operating systems, and Apple iOS accounted for 22.94%.
Of course, in addition to these well-known operating systems, there have also been many "short-lived" operating systems in this segment. For example, Nokia also launched the Maemo system in 2005, and in 2010 Nokia merged and launched the MeeGo system, but neither of these two systems has been done. In 2009, the BADA smartphone platform developed by Samsung Electronics was released, and then Samsung also cooperated with other mobile phone manufacturers to launch the LiMo (Linux Mobile) system. In 2012, Samsung led the launch of the 1.0 version of the Tizen system. However, only 3 years later, Tizen "fleeed" from the mobile phone market. (PS: Tizen system is actually a hybrid of Intel MeeGo system and Samsung LiMo system.)
In China, Alibaba is a representative enterprise trying to make its own mobile phone operating system. In 2012, with the full launch of the Tianyu W800 mobile phone, Alibaba YunOS, which was randomly equipped, was also announced. From 2014 to 2015, YunOS reached its peak of development, with a market share of 7% at one point. But soon, Tianyu also gave up using YunOS, and YunOS finally failed to get rid of the fate of marginalization. Although it is not based on the secondary development of the Android system, it is a deeply customized product based on the Android open standard. Replaced Google's Java Virtual Machine with the Development Java Virtual Machine.
In addition, Xiaomi's MIUI, Huawei's EMUI, Meizu's Flyme, VIVO's Funtouch OS, etc. can only be regarded as the second in-depth development of mobile phone systems based on the Android system by domestic manufacturers.
Looking back at the development history of mobile phone operating systems, the success or failure of a mobile phone system is often accompanied by the fate of the mobile phone brand itself (except Samsung), and also depends on its ecological scale.
At present, Android and Apple account for more than 95% of the global mobile operating system share. Among other operating systems, Yun OS, WP and BlackBerry still have some users. It is difficult for these systems to develop new users.
The two systems that are currently doing the best are also two extremes, one is Apple's iOS, which integrates software and hardware, and the other is open Android.
By taking advantage of the new opportunities brought by 3G smartphones, iOS quickly entered this market, quickly gained a relatively large user group, and formed a closed ecosystem with a large enough user base, which enabled Apple to survive. Apple is an alternative. After BlackBerry, this closed operating system has become more and more difficult.
The success of Android is because Google has brought a new Internet thinking, created an open platform with low barriers to entry, attracted all the manufacturers that can be attracted, and formed a complete ecology, and this ecology can also self-adjust and optimize. . The Android system can be done mainly because it is open source and free, and more importantly, it fits the huge trend of turning from feature phones to smart phones at that time; while iOS is an epoch-making product from the perspective of performance and technology. At the same time, it also benefits from Apple's complete ecological model.
After Android is open source, it is difficult for other systems to cut in. Samsung's Tizen system didn't do it, and the reason is certainly not single. Because under iOS and Android, it is difficult for Samsung to form a set of its own ecosystem. WP, which has more opportunities than Samsung, has not developed. In the process of building the Tizen system, Samsung did not make up its mind to not use the Android system, but used both Android and its own system. Ultimately, the market chose Android.
In 2016, BlackBerry was also beaten by Android. In April of that year, Cheng Shouzong, the then CEO of BlackBerry, said in an interview with the media: "I love the mobile phone business, but more importantly, how to make money." Facts have proved that without the scale of users, it is difficult to talk about an independent mobile phone system.
Alibaba has also invested on a large scale. YunOS has been adopted by some small brand manufacturers. Under the suppression of Android and iOS giants, Alibaba's YunOS approach is correct, but how to make top mobile phone manufacturers accept it is the problem. It is difficult to get the support of the world's top 10 mobile phone manufacturers like Android. In fact, Ali has never taken this step. No one of the world's top 10 mobile phone manufacturers has accepted the system. If the application scale cannot be formed, the enthusiasm of manufacturers to continue to develop will also weaken, which is a negative cycle.
Hongmeng OS is developed based on Sailfish OS, which is why it is compatible with Android. Sailfish is the successor of Nokia's abandonment of MeeGo, and is an operating system developed based on MeeGo. In that year, after the Saipan system was withdrawn from the historical stage, most of the engineers who developed the MeeGo system in Finland were recruited by Huawei. You can make up your mind about what they can do. As a research and development personnel, we all hope that our products will be recognized and can take off for the second time. However, there is only one platform left.
2021: The fluency of mobile operating systems ranks
Apple's IOS, VIVO Origin OS, Xiaomi's MIUI, Huawei's EMUI, Meizu's Flyme, and OnePlus' hydrogen OS. Speaking of the fluency ranking of mobile operating systems, there is really no unified and universally recognized standard in the industry. Master Lu has a so-called fluency ranking. According to the fluency ranking announced by Master Lu, Xiaomi Mi 10U, OPPO FindX2P, and OPPO ACE2 are ranked in the top three, while Honor 30Pro+ and IQOO Neo 3 are ranked fourth and fifth. . So can this ranking explain a certain problem? Yes, but it does not necessarily correspond to the real situation, because the "smoothness" detected by the machine is generally not necessarily equal to the smoothness in the eyes of consumers.
Simple fast equals smooth, really not! Take the two mobile phones OPPO FindX2P and iPhone12 used by the author as examples. Thanks to the blessing of the high refresh rate of 120Hz, the instant response speed of OPPO FindX2P when opening certain applications is indeed faster than that of iPhone 12, but this kind of fastness actually gives people a feeling of "silly fast", which is very abrupt. It is also a common drawback of many Android mobile operating systems. You can take a closer look at the animation transition effect of IOS: when you click on the APP icon, the icon will have a short-sinking animation effect, along with the blurring of the background, and when the icon is retracted, there will be a very The animation effect of the "bounce" of the details, the whole process is very well connected, which is not only "fast", but more comfortable to describe.
As a comparison, let’s look at the animation effects of MIUI12, the leader in the Android camp. MIUI12's response and animation transition speed is really fast, even stronger than IOS. But as mentioned above, the dynamic effects of MIUI12 still give people a hard feeling, especially after comparing with IOS, this feeling is more obvious, there are three main reasons: first, the lack of background virtual The second is the animation that is not connected when the icon returns, and finally the animation effect is different from the physical feedback in the real world, which makes it feel a little inconsistent.
But don't underestimate these differences in details. In many cases, it is these differences in details that determine the final actual performance of the system's dynamic effects, and IOS also impresses consumers through countless such in-depth detailed animations. , which has been recognized by everyone. So is there any mobile phone system in the Android system that can compete with IOS in terms of details? Origin OS has done a lot of work in animation interaction effects, which is even better than IOS.
When the two icons were merged, VIVO used a collision effect animation that was very close to the "water drop fusion" in reality to shape the whole process, which looked very natural and coordinated, and when the user clicked the icon, the icon also had " The two states of "smaller and darker" are used as feedback at the same time, which fully gives the user the desired operation feedback. Bokeh effect: When you see the bokeh effect of Origin OS, you are not only amazed, but the Android market finally has a bokeh effect comparable to IOS. As shown in the figure below, the bokeh transition of the Android system is finally natural. .
Not only that, VIVO also specially brings a brand new visual measurement system to the system. Simply put, the speed at which the icon sinks will change with the area of the icon, and the user clicks the impact displayed by it at different speeds. There will also be different inertias, which are all very detailed polishing. It can be said that Origin OS is ahead of IOS in terms of polishing details and dynamic effects. The emergence of Origin OS tells one thing: the exquisite animation effects, as long as Android phone manufacturers want to do or can do it, the only difference is whether they want to do it or not and whether they are willing to work hard.
In general, as far as the current situation is concerned, the system with the highest overall fluency is definitely IOS, but the emergence of VIVO Origin OS also makes it possible to see the development of Android in the future.
Counting all kinds of open source mobile operating systems
Linux system has a mobile operating system for a long time, and currently the most used mobile operating system "Android" is developed based on the Linux core. Every Android phone can see the kernel version, such as : 4.14, 4.4 This is actually the version number of the Linux core. Because Android has made a lot of changes to the Linux core, I personally think that Android may no longer be a member of the Linux system.
❝Linux is a free and open source UNIX-like operating system.The kernel of the operating system was first released by Linus Torvalds on October 5, 1991. After adding user space applications, it became Linux Operating system. Linux is also the most famous example of free software and open source software development. As long as the GNU General Public License (GPL) is followed, any individual and institution can freely use all the underlying source code of Linux, and also freely Modification and redistribution. Most Linux systems also include programs like X Window that provide a GUI. Except for a few experts, most people use Linux distributions directly, rather than selecting every component or setting it up themselves.
Linux strictly refers to the kernel of the operating system, because the operating system contains many user graphical interfaces and other utilities. Nowadays, Linux is often used to refer to a complete operating system based on Linux, and the kernel is changed to the Linux kernel. Because of these The system tools and libraries that support user space are mainly provided by the GNU project initiated by Richard Stallman in 1983. The Free Software Foundation proposed to name its combined system GNU/Linux, but Linux does not belong to the GNU project, and this name does not belong to the GNU project. It has not been unanimously approved by the community.
But note that Android is a product of Google after all. If you want to use an open source system, it is an operating system called AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Most of the domestic custom systems are almost from AOSP.
Google Framework (GMS) (Google Mobile Service) is a very critical thing (if you want to use Google's application market, you must need Google Framework, many software and games are also based on GMS, without Google Framework will lead to framework-dependent software cannot run) However, it requires Google's certification to install, which has led to many people in China trying to install the Google framework. Today, the Google framework is becoming more and more difficult to install.
In fact, when I saw the Raspberry Pi before, I had the idea to make it into a mobile phone or tablet, but it was always difficult to do this for various reasons. Another reason is that the GUI of Linux is really stretched, and there is not much adaptation to touch, and there is a clear gap with Android, Windows, and iOS. But the command line actually has a unique appeal that appeals to a niche group of users. There is also open source, which may be something many people yearn for.
First of all, let me state that all kinds of common domestic software cannot be installed in the following operating systems, such as: Alipay, WeChat, most of the time when using the browser, so it is recommended that students who want to try it as a second mobile phone, or It is a classmate who wants to quit mobile phones, or a classmate who likes to toss and increase knowledge.
Here's a breakdown of some Linux-based mobile operating systems:
Nokia N9 | MeeGo
Nokia N9, the tragic flagship Nokia N9 (codenamed Lankku) was abandoned after the launch. It is a smartphone developed by Nokia and runs on the Linux-based MeeGo "Harmattan" system. Released in June 2011 and officially launched in September of the same year, this is Nokia's first and only MeeGo-equipped device. Despite limited production numbers, the N9 was widely acclaimed, with some describing it as Nokia's best phone to date. Both software and hardware were well received, including the MeeGo operating system, keyless "swipe" user interface and advanced features. In September 2011, just three months after the launch of the first MeeGo model N9, Nokia announced that it would abandon MeeGo and turn to Microsoft WP. Stephen Elop said that the N9 will be the company's first and last phone with the MeeGo system. Elop reiterated that even if the N9 is successful, the company will not continue to develop the MeeGo system and will only focus on the future. Lumia Collection. Elop was criticized for the massive popularity of the N9 and generally weak sales of the Lumia lineup, a move that has been widely cited as one of the reasons for the company's death in the smartphone market. I haven't used MeeGo, Nokia's Symbian and WindowsPhone have used it, I can only say that Microsoft's machete department is very powerful. The WP system was still pretty good at the time. If the ecology could be done, Saipan would be great, and it would feel very usable when no touch was needed. Saipan was a bit behind in the touch era. Not choosing MeeGo is really not necessarily good or bad, but if you repeatedly jump around like Nokia, it seems that the price will come. Sony Xperia 10 II | Sailfish OS
On the other side of the world, in Finland, a group of people who left Nokia to start their own business are grieving over the failure of MeeGo on smartphones. Founded Jolla company, with the permission of the Linux Foundation and the support of Nokia, continue to develop the MeeGo system. Finally, a new branch of Linux mobile operating system that meets the needs of modern mobile phones, has high security and is compatible with Android - this is Sailfish OS. It has now become the Russian government's preferred operating system for "replacement of Android" and has also been supported by industry giant Sony.
The interface of the Sailfish system is quite good-looking
, and the operation logic is not inferior to that of Android.
Now, if you want to use all the functions of the Sailfish OS, you need to purchase the corresponding system service package of the model, which costs 30 euros. The latest version is 4.3, which is only suitable for the Sony Xperia 10 II. It is developed based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 665, and its performance is already behind the times. The system is compatible with all Android 10 software. In this version, the 64-bit software is added. support. If you are just trying it out, you can try it. You can buy this model within 1K in a seafood market.
Jolla, the hardware manufacturer of the swordfish system, has released a model that perfectly matches the system, but now the latest version cannot be used because the model is old, and other compatible models can also be tried, but the compatible Android application is missing. and other functions.
In fact, in the case that many mobile phone operating systems have already been GG, the sailfish system can continue to update and maintain, which is already very powerful. It is better to keep up with the hardware, otherwise it always feels that there is insufficient reason to buy.
Ubuntu Touch
Ubuntu Touch, first unveiled in 2013, is a smartphone operating system jointly developed by Canonical and the Ubuntu community. The system is very advanced in terms of UI design and system interaction, and it is one of the first to use full-screen gesture control. mobile operating system.
In September 2014, Ubuntu Touch launched the first official version of RTM. The world's first mobile phone equipped with this operating system is BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition. The euro, or about RMB is 1199 yuan. Later, Meizu Technology also launched the MX4 Ubuntu Touch version, the hardware configuration is the same as the ordinary MX4, and the initial price is 1799 yuan.
In 2017, Canonical announced that the development of the project was stopped due to market reasons, and then the community organization UBports took over and developed it. At present, the system has been continuously updated and maintained. In September 2021, the UBports community launched the Ubuntu Touch OTA-19 version, and the developer version is still being pushed to this day. Ubuntu Touch looks very similar to the desktop version, and the logic is also very similar. Some desktop software can be run on this system, and the experience is quite magical.
Librem5 | PureOS
privacy is a pain point for many users. Now big data makes secrets less and less, and Taobao may even know more about hobbies than himself. PureOS is based on Debian Testing, a distribution supported and maintained by Purism Corporation.
PureOS uses Gnome 3 as the default desktop and Wayland as the graphics server. PureOS is an FSF certified distribution, a completely free and secure distribution. Many desktop apps can run on a phone, but are not very touch friendly, so a portable keyboard may be required.
The browser used, Pure Browser, is a Mozilla Firefox based web browser that uses DuckDuck Go as the default search engine and https everywhere.
Librem5, using NXP i.MX8M processor, 4-core Cortex A53, maximum operating frequency of 1.5GHz, 3GB memory, and 32GB eMMC storage, supports various open source operating systems, except MeeGo, the system should have adaptations.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, data network, and microphone all have hardware switches to switch on and off. This physical switch may give people who care about safety some sense of security.
If you miss the previous battery, you can replace it, yes, you can replace the battery.
This store is for sale. If you need it, you can find out. The purchase link is at the end of the article.
PinePhone | Plasma Moblie
PinePhone is a smartphone developed by Pine64 to give the user full control over this device. Then it did the job: running a Linux-based mobile OS, assembling the phone with screws, simplifying teardown for repairs and upgrades, and the hardware components provided six kill switches/safety switches. The default installation is a Manjaro Linux-based operating system, using the Plasma Mobile graphical interface
If you want to install other operating systems, you can try almost all mobile operating systems on the market: Postmarket OS, Ubuntu Touch, KDE Plasma Mobile, Sailfish OS, Maemo, NixOS, LuneOS, Nemo Mobile and other operating systems.
Based on Allwinner's A64 development, it has quad-core Cortex A53 quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, onboard 2GB RAM and 16GB flash memory, optional 3+32 configuration, the price is very reasonable, the battery is also removable, this type of phone has a good The point is that it is easy to disassemble, easy to toss and maintain.
There is also a switch similar to the Librem5, but requires the back cover to be opened to operate
Recently, PinePhone also launched a more powerful PinePhone Pro, equipped with RK3399S processor, with two A72 and four A53 cores, the performance will be much better. It supports a maximum of 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage, which has almost reached the mainstream configuration.
Summary
If you want to buy such a mobile phone, it is not recommended to use it as a main phone, but only as a backup phone, because most of these operating systems cannot use Alipay and WeChat, the two apps that are used every day.
