This just in: Microsoft is able to make the leap into mobile modernity… at its own pace. During a contemporary interview with All Things D, Windows Phone President Andy Lees revealed just a few information about Redmond’s future crop of handsets, a good way to apparently include both LTE capabilities and dual-core processors. The exec confirmed that LTE-equipped devices are indeed within the pipeline, but declined to specify whether they’d hit the market this year or next. Seems, Microsoft desires to wait until current LTE networks prove able to supporting more power-efficient smartphones. “The primary LTE phones were big and huge [users] of the battery,” Lees said. “i believe it’s possible to do it in a method that’s much more efficient, and that is what we shall be doing.”
Lees was similarly opaque about Microsoft’s plans to include dual-core CPUs into its mobile lineup, saying only that they are at the way. In response to him, however, even single-core Windows Phones can hold their very own against the twin-core competition: “They’re all single core, but i think that they’re going to be faster in usage than any dual-core phone that you just put against it, and that is the point.” Lees went directly to wax Panglossian about Microsoft’s strategy, claiming that the absence of LTE and dual-core processing doesn’t necessarily mean that his company is behind the days. “i believe that what our strategy is is to position things in place that let us to leapfrog, and that i think that’s how we’ve gone from worse [sic] browser to the right browser,” he explained, “and that i think an analogous is right with hardware.” Look at the complete interview for yourself, on the source link below.
