Current Windows Mobile Phone 7 will not be upgradeable to the new operating system
Microsoft has revealed new global features of Windows Phone 8, the evolution of SO WinPhone 7 using, for example, Nokia Lumia. The developments have been many, but Microsoft has sought to highlight three on ... the rest.
- First,
the mobile future will finally have the ability to use multicore
processors, enabling them to offer more power, adjust their consumption.
smoother multitasking and keep up the competition Android and IOS.
- Directly
related to the first and to get more graphics power to be able to
generate, will offer three new screen resolutions: 800 x 490, 1280 x 768
and 1280 x 720 HD reaching the expected quality. This also will enhance its leisure side with videos and especially games.
- Finally, an interesting detail. The
ability to use microSD memory cards not only to expand the storage
capacity of the terminals, also to run the apps intaladas them.
But the new Windows Phone 8 will bring many more new features. The most important is the use of Shared Core Windows as a development platform. Because it is compatible with other devices such as Windows 8 tablets and computers (eye to the games).
This
therefore represents a break with the past, which means that existing
terminals will not support Windows Phone Windows Phone 8. Definitely a novelty that is quite hard to fit on a platform with just two years. So Microsoft has created an update, version (rather patch) Windows Phone 7.8 will feature some, but beware not all the news.
Those chosen to manufacture this new phase terminals are Nokia, Samsung, HTC, Huawei and Qualcomm all used processors. It appears that the first phones will come after the summer.
But
back to the phones the first thing that stands out is customizing the
home screen with dynamic windows of three different sizes. With this you can assign different levels of importance depending on the size and placement. They
have also benefited over the surface of the screen and now there are no
lateral margins but still can not use different colors on the same
desktop.
The
WinPhone 8 may include NFC connectivity, for example, used as a digital
wallet by Wallet app, such as interlock devices to transfer data (such
as Android Beam) or simply to read NFC tags that contain information
(such as business cards or advertisements advertising). The
payment system uses a verification protocol associated with the SIM
while the pairing system can be used to send songs or create a ring game
between two terminals, among other uses.
Wallet
But, besides the NFC, is also intended as a management system of credit
cards or loyalty, QR codes and even PayPal or coupons Groupon type. No doubt a nod to Apple's Passbook.
Another novelty is the total integration of Nokia Maps in the heart of WinPhon 8. This
includes not only maps and guided navigation, but also valuable
information in real-time traffic, as well as suggestions for
restaurants, bars and shops nearby with special offers and discounts.
Finally we have the web browser supports HTML5 Explorer 10 is now safer and more fluid. Audible,
to aknowledge a voice with which we can give orders and control mobile
Siri style, but at the moment is just that sentence recognition without
any intelligence behind it. The Hub Company is an application manager profesionlaes designed for businesses.
