There have been four major releases of S60: Series 60 (2001), Series 60 Second Edition (2002), S60 3rd Edition (2005) and S60 5th Edition (2008). Each release had an updated version called ''Feature Pack'', sometimes known as ''relay''. Each runs on top of a different Symbian OS version.

<div id="S60 1st Edition">
;Series 60 1st Edition: The devices' display resolution was fixed to 176×208. The [[Siemens SX1]] meanwhile had 176×220.</div>
*Version 0.9 was the original and first shipped with [[Nokia 7650]].
*Version 1.2 (marketed as Feature Pack 1) first shipped with [[Nokia 3600/3650]] in 2003.

<div id="S60 2nd Edition">
;Series 60 2nd Edition: Also known as S60v2.
*Version 2 was the original and first shipped with [[Nokia 6600]].
*Version 2.1 (Feature Pack 1) first came with [[Nokia 6620]].
*Version 2.6 (Feature Pack 2) first came with [[Nokia 6630]].
*Version 2.8 (Feature Pack 3) first started shipping with [[Nokia N70]] in September 2005. FP3 now supports multiple resolutions, i.e. Basic (176×208), and Double (352×416). The N90 was the first Series 60 device to support a higher resolution (352×416).</div>

<div id="S60 3rd Edition">
;S60 3rd Edition: S60v3 uses a hardened version of Symbian OS (v9.1), which has [[mandatory code signing]]. In S60v3, a user may install only programs that have a certificate from a registered developer, unless the user disables that feature or modify the phone's firmware through third-party hacks that circumvent the mandatory signing restrictions. This makes software written for S60 1st Edition or 2nd Edition not binary-compatible with S60v3.
*Version 3 was first introduced with [[Nokia N91]] in 2006.
*Version 3.1 (Feature Pack 1) first shipped with [[Nokia N95]].
*Version 3.2 (Feature Pack 2) first shipped with [[Nokia N78]].

:In 2006, a "Designed for S60 Devices" logo program for developers was launched. The logotype can be used with conforming programs regardless of them being native Symbian or Java.</div>

<div id="Symbian^1 (S60 5th Edition)">
;S60 5th Edition / Symbian^1: In October 2008 Symbian^1, also known as S60v5, was launched as the first OS under the Symbian Foundation, based on the S60 code so therefore also called S60 5th Edition. Nokia skipped the number 4 as they traditionally always do (due to [[East Asian]] [[tetraphobia]]).<ref>[http://blogs.nokia.com/s60blogs/index.php/2008/10/02/s60-5th-edition-and-the-nokia-5800-xpressmusic-are-here/#comment-2107 S60 5th Edition and the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic are here!] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227055230/http://blogs.nokia.com/s60blogs/index.php/2008/10/02/s60-5th-edition-and-the-nokia-5800-xpressmusic-are-here/#comment-2107 |date=27 February 2012 }}, 3rd comment</ref> S60 5th Edition runs on Symbian OS version 9.4.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.s60.com/pdfs/getPdf.do?handle=dfb1ff95-77de-4f3b-98a4-4407c519828c-1790878959 |title=is now closed |publisher=S60.com |access-date=13 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090618171531/http://www.s60.com/pdfs/getPdf.do?handle=dfb1ff95-77de-4f3b-98a4-4407c519828c-1790878959 |archive-date=18 June 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The major feature of 5th Edition is support for high-resolution 640×360 touchscreens; before 5th Edition, all S60 devices had a button-based user interface. S60 5th Edition also integrates standard [[C (programming language)|C]]/[[C++]] [[API]]s and includes Adobe Flash Lite 3.0 with S60-specific ActionScript extensions that give Flash Lite developers access to phone features like contacts, text messaging, sensors and device location information ([[GPS]]). : Despite the introduction of S60 5th Edition, the 3rd Edition continued to be marketed new as well, as 5th Edition is specially designed for, and exclusively available on touchscreens (e.g. [[Nokia C6-00]], [[Sony Ericsson Satio]]).

*Version 5 was first introduced with [[Nokia 5800 XpressMusic]] in 2008.

:S60 5th Edition was the last edition of S60. It was succeeded by Symbian^2 (based on [[MOAP]]) and Symbian^3 in 2010.</div>
