Best Answer

Android is a modern, Google - based operating system used in phones and Tablets which is open source.

Android is the most versatile and popular of the new, modern mobile phone OS.

Symbian is a proprietary (Nokia) operating system for mobile phones and on 11 February 2011, Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop, a former Microsoft employee, unveiled a new strategic alliance with Microsoft, and announced it would replace Symbian and MeeGo with Windows Phone 7. This places doubts over the future of Symbian which is now looking a bit dated as an OS.

What is the difference between symbian os and windows os?

Android and Symbian are both open-sourced OS. Symbian at the time was the most popular mobile OS worldwide (Nokia being its biggest proponent) until Android surpassed it around 2011. Part of Symbian's fall was that much of its licensed source code was restricted to only member companies. In comparison, Android's licensed source code is relatively free of restrictions, which helped spur its use among manufacturers, carriers, and the developer community.
