Kaios: The world's third largest mobile operating system?
So far we have only identified some handheld smartphones OS. The most popular mobile OS - Google's Android, then Apple's iOS, Microsoft's Windows Phone which no longer exists, BlackBerry's Mobile OS, which is Blackberry, is also dead. So now there are only two to say mobile OS. One is Google's Android and another is Apple's iOS. Maybe you have never heard of the name of an OS, an OS that kaioesa ( KaiOS ).
Although this OS is a Modern OS, it has been made for the feature phones that we call phones called Buttons and which are basically used by our parents. However, the features of Kios-operated feature-phones have become more capsable devices than the feature phones. In essence, I will discuss the advances of Kios and try to know why Google has invested about US $ 22 million behind this OS? What is this Caio that separates the features of KiosS-phones from other features?
Kaios
QOS claims itself as The Emerging OS. The key goal of kiosks is to make feature phones a bit smarter. Many of today's famous smartphone makers have used kiosks in their made-feature phones. For example, the current Nokia features made by HMD Global are using Kios as the default operating system on phones - HMD Global. In these feature phones, kios are used, this OS X adds some features and functionality, although for this feature-phone hardware, there is a need to have some extra functionality. For example - Fourier Support, WiFi Support, NFC Payment Support, Apps Support, Progressive Web AppSupport etc. Although the feature phones used to have good hardware in the past, the features of the phone-phone software were not so strong, which would support such advanced features such as FourGi or NFC. Kyos has basically changed the entire concept.
Kios is basically a few years old and closed within a year, a lightweight and customized version of Mozilla's Firefox OS, which is optimized for feature-phone and hardware buttons based navigation. This OS was first used on Alcatel Flip Phones, which was a very basic low-end phone. Soon after, HMD Global uses this OS with its newly created Nokia Flip Phone, which is also called Banner Phone due to its color. Then one of India's major mobile network companies, Geo (Jio) decided to implement this OS in their basic low-cost feature phone, called Jio Phone, which is already very popular on the Indian market as the best feature phone.
However, in addition to these, many other countries on the world are being used on many more features phones, this Kios. According to the calculation of the year 2018, Kios is already in the Indian market, behind the IOs in terms of market share and it is still ahead of Android. That's why COS is a great possibility to be the world's third largest mobile OS. Because, now the smartphone user is the most, but the user of the feature phone is not much less than that. And in countries like India and Bangladesh, the feature phone user is much more than the other countries. And in those places, there are mobile phones like Kios-powered feature phones such as Nokia Banana phone or Geo Phone, which are absolutely perfect for most general mobile phone users. So far, the Kios-powered phone Worldwide has sold more than 40 million cell phones, and it is estimated that by the end of 2018, approximately 100 million KOs-powered devices will be made.
but why?
One of the biggest reasons for this is the support of Kiosks. Kios-powered feature-phones such as apps support, such apps can never be imagined to use any other feature-phone so long. There is also a full featured App Store in Kios, where there are so many apps available from Major Developer. Yes, all the app apps available on the Android and iPhone app stores are not available; the name of the App Store (Kaios's App Store) can not be found, but there are more apps than the apps which can be exposed to feature phones that are powered by a hardware button. The quality of the castor and apps is also good. For example, the quality of apps in the castor is better than the Windows Phone app.
You can get more apps in official first party apps such as WhatsApp, Twitter, YouTube etc at Kaistor . In addition to first party apps, there are also support for prominent web apps in the cast . There will also be a chance to use in Cayoise Google Assistant, which is an app or service created by Google's own for Kios. Using a Google Assistant on a feature phone is almost a dream. Kios is able to make this dream true.
Another reason for Kiosks' success is that it is not a full-featured operating system, but a standard version of Firefox OS, so running the entire OSSTie on the Firefox browser engine. So it is very easy to use web apps in this OS and the experience is an experience that can never be found on any other feature phone. Although runs on the QoS feature phone, it supports standard web technologies such as HTML 5, JavaScript, CSS etc. So it is possible to use almost all the websites and web apps in the Kios-powered feature-phones.
Also, the Kios thing has become a very good business plan for mobile network carriers. Consider, the previous feature phones do not support the network on top of the phone. Prior to the previous feature phones have the opportunity to use the internet, very few people used the internet on feature phones. As a result, mobile carriers could not even make data cell phone to them. However, if the users of Kios-powered features-phone increases, the Internet user will be much more increased as the feature phone also has the opportunity to use FourGi in this case. As a result, the network carrier will also be able to sell data to feature-phone users. And you do not believe in it, in this case they will get around 20 to 25% more users to make data cell, which will make a big contribution to their entire business.
