Have you ever heard of the operating system called KaiOS ? We see it from difficult to totally improbable. On the other hand, however, we are confident that you know a phone that works this functional. Nokia 8110 4G is for example a phone operating under KaiOS. It is a Linux based operating system and is used on simple mobile phones with smartphones.
KaiOS Technologies the company behind the operating system, recently received numerous funding from Google The technology giant reportedly invested $ 22 million in business. Of course, Google has its reasons for this.
As you know, Google already dominates the world of smartphones with the Android operating system, but also wants to add its services to mobile phones. The two companies (Google and KaiOS) are working together to offer Google's popular services such as Maps, YouTube, Search and Google Assistant to all phones managed by KaiOS
Up to now, more than 40 million devices using KaiOS have already been shipped to world markets. In addition to the Nokia 8110 4G, it also powers TCL's Alcatel One Touch Go Flip and Reliance Jio's JioPhone. We want to believe that in the future even more mobile phone companies will adopt this operating system.
Google's investment in KaiOS could be seen as a way to present its services to simple mobile phone users who could possibly go to smartphones. However, users can also stay with them and enjoy the services offered by Google.
"We are excited to be working with Google to offer its services to more mobile phones" said Sebastian Codeville, CEO of KaiOS. "Having a smart voice badistant on an affordable mobile phone is truly revolutionary as it helps to eliminate some of the limitations that a keyboard brings"
Google's investment in KaiOS is the latest in a series of instant startups with the US technology giant US, carried out by the two investment companies of GV and CapitalG. Google is also working with Orange to make investments and eventually startups in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
