Symbian UI Overhaul & Phones with Optical Zoom Expected Next Year

December 14th, 2010 • Mark Guim • 8 comments

Senior Manager Gunther Kottzieper shared some of Nokia’s plans for 2011 at the International Mobile Internet Conference in Beijing on Tuesday. According to Kottzieper, first quarter of 2011 will include more than 50 enhancements to Symbian, including an updated browser with a more intuitive user interface. The second and third quarter will bring “a new look and feel for the UI. The fourth quarter will introduce more powerful CPU and graphics processors and last but not least, a “true zoom camera.”

This news from Computerworld echoed what we’ve heard before about the upcoming updates heading to Symbian, but we haven’t heard about the “true zoom camera” bit before. It could mean the re-introduction of smartphones with optical zoom. The last Nseries devices with that kind of zoom were the Nokia N93 and N93i. I’m definitely interested, but might have to wait a while.

voice control is the real frontier; all else is just frittering; keypads should become a thing of the past. vlingo is at the very dawn of the age of voice control, but the next generation has to be on a chip in the phone.

  What u talking bout willis?
  
  Voice control on a phone is never going to be a suitable, complete replacement for a physical input method.
  
  How much of an irritating twat do you think you will sound/look when in a busy, noisy environment – trying to shout commands at an inanimate object and hoping to fuck it interprets them properly?
  
  At home and in the car it may be usefull but thats about it.
