THE YOUNG MINDS AT WORK

Android vs Symbian – which is the better option? Read on to find out
I’m a typical mobile phone user in India. And like to be updated about the latest technology. Something made me think “Which operating system is better, Android or Symbian?”. This question was asked by my classmate, Shrisha S. Bhat. As I usually prefer Nokia N-series mobiles my answer was Symbian. But when he asked me on what basis I told him the answer, I was stumped. That led me to search over the internet, asking different guys who know more about the topic. Finally I reached the point where I realized that I was wrong. The fact is Android overcomes Symbian in many ways. The points written below should illustrate the many ways in which Android surpasses Symbian.

 Great processing power based on modern processors. Androids use Cortex-A8 based processors which deliver a much better performance than Symbians with Arm 11 CPUs. Excellent examples are HTC Snapdragons (currently with 2nd generation) and Samsung Hummingbirds, both running at 1 GHz speed (versus 680MHz speed in Symbians). The gap in processing power is even larger with the newest dual-core CPUs based on Cortex- A9 architecture (like in Motorola Atrix)  That makes Symbians to fall even farther behind Androids.  Screen resolution. Androids use higher screen resolutions with

800(854)x480 compared to Symbians (640×360). This allows more details to be displayed on screen, which is especially handy with web browsing (the extra information on screen saves the trouble to scroll too much). Furthermore, the recently announced Atrix brings even a higher qHD resolution (960×540)! That means 2.25 times more pixels on the phone display

than those found in Symbian phones.

 Memory (RAM). Everyone hates when the applications in a phone start to crash because of low memory. While 512MB RAM is normal for Androids, Symbians have to leave with 256MB RAM. Despite Nokia trying to optimize the memory usage, “out of memory” messages still happen in Symbian phones. On the contrary, some Androids reward you with even

more RAM (768MB in Desire HD, 1GB in Atrix).
