4 Most Awaited Linux Based SmartPhone OS That You Should Check-Out

Many of you all may live in an illusion that there are only Android, iOS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 operating systems, but there are other mobile operating systems as well that are in the development and they are all Linux-based.


As we all know that Google’s Android OS is one such OS that based on Linux; however, it is very much different than typical Linux distributions. When it comes to talk about other smart-phone platforms that are especially Canonical’s Ubuntu Phone are extremely close to typical Linux system.

Without wasting your precious time on discussion, I am going to list-out a list of 4 most awaited Linux based Smart-phone operating systems that you can check-out:

Amazon’s Fire OS is the most advanced quality OS that initially used on Kindle Fire tablets and now it will arrive on the Fire Phone smart-phone that is actually based on Android. If you are thinking that Fire OS is another rebranded version of the Android open source project, you are wrong as it is not rebranded version with Google’s stuff stripped out.

Being a more spilt of Android, this new OS is moving in its own direction. Now, you can look at Amazon’s specification page, where new Kindle Fire models are considered as compatible with Android.

Mozilla has also tried its hand in developing its own most powerful smart-phone operating system that based on the Firefox browser and Gecko rendering engine. As each application is using web technologies like HTML5; Mozilla also thought to launch Firefox OS devices in developing market first. The company is considering the web as the future application platform for every device.


Lots of computers users are making use of a web browser for different stuffs, but various people prefer to use native apps on smart-phones. However, these are such apps that are limited to a single OS, but Mozilla is looking to bring one such open web for smart-phones and want to replace those native apps with web apps.

Currently, Tizen has gained huge popularity in the market as it is an open-source platform that mainly linked with Samsung. Mainly, this OS is considered as the sunshade of the Linux foundation. We all know that Samsung’s own Android Galaxy devices are running on the TouchWiz skin as the company has also given its own look while Tizen is similar to TouchWiz.

Considered as the backbone for Samsung, this OS can push company forward and give tough competition to other Oss. However, if company decides to run off from Google Android, it can easily adopt Tizen on its next Galaxy S phone.

When it comes to talk about Palm’s webOS, the OS was seen on the Palm Pre as well as Palm Pixi as it is widely considered as the best OS of its time. In the year 2010, HP got hold on Palm as well as webOS as the company had very big plans for this OS like they wanted to make use of it on different smartphones, tablets, and even printers. Apart from this, the company was looking for launching PCs running on WebOS.
