Windows Phone 8 (WP8), the newest version of Microsoft’s mobile operating system, will bring a great number of new features and enhancement, some of which are as follows:
Support for multi-core processors:
As WP8 has been designed with special attention on the new high-powered smartphones, it will support multi-core processors.
Support for higher resolution screens:
Microsoft’s next-generation mobile OS will support two new high-definition resolutions, viz. 1280 by 768 and 1280 by 720.
Better mapping service:
It will bring Nokia Maps, which promises more comprehensive maps, directions for navigation, and the option of storing offline maps.
On-card storage:
Users of the upcoming WP8 will be able to expand the storage capacities of their smartphones using MicroSD cards.
Digital Wallet and NFC tech:
WP8 will support NFC technology and bring a Wallet hub which will handle users’ digital coupons and credit & debit cards.
Internet Explorer 10 (IE10):
Users of the WP8 will be able to reap the benefits of more sophisticated security features of the IE10, such as SmartScreen Filter.
However, a big deficiency of WP8 is that the existing users of WP will not have access to all of the above-mentioned new features.
