KaiOS Surpasses iOS to Become India’s Second Largest Mobile Operating System

According to the latest data from DeviceAtlas, in the first quarter of 2018, KaiOS has surpassed iOS as the second largest mobile operating system in India. Android is still the most popular and continues to erode the market share of iOS in regions such as Malaysia.

It is reported that KaiOS is a Linux-based mobile operating system launched in 2017 with the goal of combining the strength of smartphones with the benefits of feature phones. The system is reprinted from B2G (Boot to Gecko), the open source community of the Firefox OS that Mozilla stopped developing in 2016. The main feature of KaiOS is to bring HTML5-based applications to non-touch devices, support 4G LTE, GPS, and Wi-Fi, resulting in an optimized user interface, less memory, and power consumption.

KaiOS is developed by KaiOS Technologies, based in San Diego, Calif., and on its official blog, KaiOS said that the system will have a new look this year and plans to provide services in more than 100 countries around the world by the end of 2018.
