The Symbian OS had dominated the market for quite a significant time period with its user interface versatility and attractive features. It originated in the early 90s and lasted for a little lesser than two decades. Nokia had been the best partner of Symbian and it had produced a large number of hones with this OS.
However, the OS has become almost obsolete now, and for a reason. The complexity it involved was way more than its advantages, and therefore, it led to the downfall of the Symbian. The complex coding structure made it difficult in manufacturing a phone easily. A handset took almost 2 years to be manufactured and this was utterly undesirable. Check out the Origin Of Symbian OS.
