Windows Phone 8 released

System release

The new Windows Phone 8 Operating System of the Microsoft Developer Conference was officially met on October 30, June 20, us time. This is another mobile Phone operating system released by Microsoft after Windows Phone 7 and has made many improvements in its functions. It is expected to go public this fall and continue to kill in the highly competitive mobile phone market.

Features

The name indicates that Windows Phone 8 is a bit like Windows 8. As Joe Belfiore said, the Windows Phone 8 kernel uses the same technology as Windows 8, which means that the two platforms may be integrated. At the same time, for developers, applications may also achieve interchange between platforms.

In terms of hardware, Windows Phone 8 supports multi-core chipset, which can make the mobile Phone more powerful. In addition to WVGA (800*480), WXGA (1280*768) and 720 p (1290*720) modes are also supported, applications written by developers can run on three resolution devices at the same time without any modifications. Finally, Windows Phone 8 supports the Micro SD expansion card. You can place images, videos, music, and applications on the Micro SD card.

In terms of software, Windows Phone 8 has a built-in IE10 browser. According to Microsoft's test results, the JavaScript performance of Windows Phone 7 is improved by 4 times, and HTML5 performance is improved by 2 times. In addition to providing users with a good online experience, Microsoft has also installed e-wallet in Windows Phone 8 this time. It seems that it is about to compete with Google. In addition, there are Nokia Maps, enterprise offices, and other functions.

Mobile phone interface

The UI of Windows Phone 8 is still in the Metro style, but this time it adds the display of the size icon, which is a bit close to the interface style of Windows 8. I don't know if it is convenient to use it. At least more applications are displayed on the current homepage, rather than the lengthy homepage scrolling like Windows Phone 7.

Windows Phone 7

Windows Phone 8 clearly supports Windows Phone 7 applications, but Joe Belfiore also mentioned that Windows Phone 7 users cannot directly upgrade to Windows Phone 8, microsoft will provide a "Windows Phone 7.8" patch to update the Windows Phone 7 user's mobile Phone interface to Windows Phone 8. Of course, the function should be Windows Phone 7, but it is just a new one.
