Η πρώτη σημαντική είδηση αφορά την αναβάθμιση Windows Phone 8.1, which will be available from next spring and will support all existing Windows Phone 8 devices.
During the Microsoft event, the Mobile World Congress revealed the company's intentions in terms of upgrading Windows Phone as well as new company partnerships.
The first major news is the Windows Phone 8.1 upgrade, which will be available from next spring and will support all existing Windows Phone 8 devices.
With version 8.1 Microsoft will be able to "support" more chipsets, όπως τα Snapdragon 200, 400 και 400 LTE. Επιπλέον θα είναι εφικτή η προσθήκη εικονικών πλήκτρων, ενώ δεν θα είναι απαραίτητη η ύπαρξη φυσικού keyυ για την κάμερα.
Additionally, the Windows Phone 8.1 version will allow users to store applications on the microSD card. The upgrade will also include dual-SIM support with active tiles for each SIM card and the ability to interface with the user interface.
The second important news was about the announcement cowork με κατασκευαστές hardware. Πλέον, ανάμεσα στους σημαντικότερους κατασκευαστές που θα χρησιμοποιούν το λειτουργικό της Microsoft στα smartphones τους θα είναι οι LG, Lenovo and ZTE, as well as some Indian companies (Xolo, Karbonn and Lava). In addition, companies such as HTC, Huawei, Samsung, Foxconn, ISR, Longcheer and of course Nokia will also be included.
It is worth mentioning that several of the above builders had previously shown devices with a Microsoft operating system, but lately they had preferred to work almost entirely on the Android platform.
Microsoft hopes with the above announcements to add momentum to its operating system and boost the sales. At the same time, announcing new affiliates is also a move of the company to show that it has not closed the door to other manufacturers, and the forthcoming completion of Nokia's acquisition.
