Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Nokia Series 30+ (abbreviated as S30+) is a software platform and application user interface used for Nokia-branded mobile devices. The platform was introduced by Nokia in September 2013, first appearing on the Nokia 108, and has been the main Nokia feature phone operating system after the end of the Series 30 and Series 40 platforms in 2014. Despite the similar name and user interface, S30+ is technically completely different and unrelated to S30.

Many S30+ devices only support MAUI Runtime Environment, and application file (.vxp)[1] developed by MediaTek,[2][3] but some later devices have included support for J2ME applications. Even for models that don't support Java J2ME applications, some are still capable of running something. Some S30+ models also come with an online shop that would allow downloading new apps and games.[4]
Some newer phone models that support 4G since 2019 with Series 30+ UI platform based on Mocor RTOS developed by Unisoc,[5] which use the graphical user interface similar to the Smart Feature OS in Nokia 3310 3G, albeit with the lack of animation and J2ME applications support.
Since late 2023, HMD has collaborated with CloudMosa to develop cloud-based applications for feature phones using the "Cloud App For Feature-phone" technology. This partnership marks the first time that Nokia Series 30+ devices are capable of accessing YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Google Sign-in Services and real-time modern web applications. The first device support Cloud App on Series 30+ is the Nokia 110 4G (2023), with all devices released in 2023 onwards set to feature this capability through OTA updates.[6]
