Microsoft Will Release A Successor To The Tablet Lumia 2520

We have heard that Microsoft has no plans to release any flagship smartphones, focusing on strengthening its position in the segment of more affordable devices. But it seems that it does not touch the plate and in the near future in the range of the company from Redmond will be a powerful new tablet computer on a hardware platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 805.

The novelty has already appeared in the database benchmark GFXBench, confirmed that it uses the GPU Adreno 420, which is one of the distinguishing features quad-core Snapdragon platform 805.

In addition, we found out that the novelty is equipped with a 10.1-inch capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 2560h1440 pixels and 64 gigabytes of internal memory, from which the user has access to about 55 gigabytes. On the characteristics of the device's camera, nothing is known, but the benchmark specified that the tablet contains the familiar features like accelerometer, gyroscope, digital compass, light sensor and proximity, as well as NFC-module.

Good opportunities gadget talk about him as a successor announced in 2013 Tablet Nokia Lumia 2520. However, the problem is that the latest gadget is running Windows RT, while the size of the display news suggests the need for a desktop version of its Windows operating system 10, since mobile Windows 10 can be used in gadgets with a diagonal up to 8 inches. And the presence of a tablet ARM-based processors virtually eliminates the possibility of using Windows 10. Therefore, it is possible that the Redmond Company plans to release a special modification deskopnoy Windows 10 with a circumcised functionality and compatibility with ARM-based processors.

One way or another, but the characteristics of the new tablet looks very attractive, and its appearance in the benchmark GFXBench indicates that Microsoft has almost completed the development devaysa, and its announcement will take place very soon.

High End Windows 10 Range of Lumia Spread in May

It seems that the topic of the extremehive and expected high end had been settled after seeing the event that Microsoft had prepared on the 21st of January. Satya Nadella discussed the issue and said that after the summer and before the end of the year, the expected launch high-end with the new Windows 10 operating system with features that deserves high end.

Following the statements of the CEO of Microsoft thought that we would forget a bit about it, but it was not because once again come out again rumors about the expected high end. The new information comes from the popular Chinese Web WPDang where we could see a comment that gives high-end Lumia May or June with Windows 10.

Two weeks ago an anonymous user commented that it had seen the high end in question with the new Windows 10 OS and about its design would have a sleek, thin line. Nokia Power User commented that could lead the rumored 3D Touch system as one of its star features.

Today we have known that Windows 10 for mobile processors will support eight cores and soon we will see in tablets and smartphones, this might make us suspect that something hatch Redmond boys short term.

Will we see the high-end before summer?

Microsoft Will Release a More Affordable Alternative to the Smartphone Lumia 830

Microsoft continues to work actively to expand its range of low-cost smartphones and mid-range devices. And so the next step will be the emergence of a more affordable alternative to the Nokia Lumia 830 smartphone, which is being developed under the symbol RM-1072.

Smartphone Nokia Lumia 830

The Hardware news will be very similar to the smartphone Nokia Lumia 830. On its front panel is also located a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. And at the heart devaysa is already rather outdated hardware platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad core processor. Size of RAM Microsoft RM-1072 is not specified yet, but given the similarity of the two devices, it is likely to also become limited to 1 gigabyte.

In Microsoft RM-1072 is equipped with 8 gigabytes of internal memory which can be expanded via memory cards format microSD. A major 8.7-megapixel camera puts it somewhere between smartphones Lumia 735 and Lumia 830. For video calls in 720p device provides simple little camera that is unlikely to suit lovers of self.

Earlier this year, Microsoft RM-1072 has already received the approval of the Indonesian regulator. And, considering also the current leakage, before the announcement of new items is not too much time, and it can make its debut before the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Let's not forget that Microsoft has already confirmed their attendance at this event, so that between 2 and 5 March 2015 we must be attentive to the movements that this company is likely during the technology fair Mobile World Congress .

This cancellation should not make us think that the passage of Microsoft by the MWC 2015 will be in vain. At a minimum, assuming that for some reason Microsoft may decide not to file any new phone the Lumia range, we can assist the detailed presentation of Windows 10 for phones, which will be the new version of the Windows Phone operating system you happen to Windows Phone 8.1.

As a curiosity we can take this opportunity to recall that it was going to be the Microsoft Lumia 1030 was expected to incorporate a display of more than five inches with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that was never specified, 2 gigabytes of RAM, 32 gigabytes of internal storage, Windows Phone OS on your version of Windows 10 and a main camera with a 50 megapixel sensor accompanied by an LED flash.

In fact, Windows 10 takes its own nomenclature of the type of devices that will be supported, precisely 10. Among the products attedi for 2015 is definitely the first smartphone that will mount Windows 10 and that surely will be part of the family Lumia.

Microsoft Enters the "Wearable" Was the Band Bracelet

The device, which will be launched early next year for $ 199, has ten sensors to monitor physical activity and includes heart rate monitor and GPS.

The ultraportable devices mark the current technological trend. Within a year, major multinationals have launched their proposals more or less luck. With some models on the market and others to come, as the case of Apple Watch, software giant Microsoft has confirmed "Microsoft Band", a quantifying bracelet that will allow owners to monitor their fitness and activity.

The debut of the company in this emerging technology related to the field of health will arrive in early 2015, two years after Sony launched its first smart watch that curtain lifted to other rival brands such as Samsung launched their first models last year, Galaxy Gear, one of the most successful and already has several subsequent generations.

Microsoft Lumia: Official Farewell to Nokia Which Will Remain On Low-Cost Smartphones

Goodbye, Nokia. Microsoft makes it official that the transition of the brand on future devices with Windows Phone 8.1 or higher will be Microsoft Lumia: the mark of the Finnish company, licensed for another ten years, will remain on the new Lumia 730, 735 and 830 - as the next smartphone in low-cost segment. Tuula Rytilä, vice president of marketing for Microsoft Mobile, does not show up when you get the first device with the new name. What consumers fans feared it might be a matter of weeks.

This choice is part of the vision of Satya Nadella, which intends to unify - in addition to the operating system - especially the corporate image. Lumia is not only the brand of smart phones produced by Nokia, but also a brand name used on the app for Windows and Windows Phone, and that will contribute to the overall growth of Bing and Xbox. Not clear, it was obvious, any reference to the fact that the Finnish company independent from the division acquired from Redmond will return to produce Smartphones using the same name.

How will the future of long-lived Asha, Nokia 310 and Nokia X ... which today are among the few products to keep your brand? We know that Smartphone’s with Android are to be withdrawn from the market, but not as much as Microsoft takes to keep the brand on low cost. Google has proposed a solution One like Android and Windows Phone - thanks to the generosity for producers - could easily emulate. The name of the Finnish company, which was once synonymous with mobile phone, now it does not seem destined to remain long on the market.
