Symbian is dead

Summary

Nokia is accelerating the deprecation of its Symbian platform, with sources from Nokia Italy indicating an earlier-than-anticipated end to its lifecycle. The Nokia 808, currently running Symbian Belle FP1, will receive a final update to FP2, but no further platform enhancements or updates are planned beyond that. This decision effectively halts Symbian development by the end of the current year, significantly sooner than the previously rumored 2014 discontinuation. Consequently, planned future Symbian iterations like Carla and Donna, which aimed to support features such as 720p screens and dual-core processors, will not be released. The Nokia 808 stands as the ultimate flagship device to run the Symbian operating system.

Although Nokia has repeatedly indicated that it will give up Symbian, but no one thought their actions would be so fast. This morning, some people from Nokia Italy said Symbian's life will be ended prematurely. The source revealed some information of Symbian's future.  The Nokia 808 will be equipped with the Symbian Belle FP1 system, Nokia will soon provide updates to this hand phone with Symbian Belle FP2, the platform will no longer receive any updates there after..

Of course, this also means that Nokia will stop Symbian updates no later than the end of this year. This message does sound a bit sudden, because a lot of sources said Nokia will completely give up the Symbian platform in 2014.

Prior to the exposure of the roadmap shows the after Belle, there will be Carla and Donna followed, Donna will support 720p screen and it will also be equipped with dual-core processors.

From the current situation, Nokia 808 will be the final flagship model equipped with Symbian.
