Maybe Windows Phone is not an example of a successful mobile operating system market, but the US company Microsoft is not willing to miss the opportunity to introduce some form in Android. Asus, the company responsible for mobile launches such as the Asus ZenFone Max or the Asus ZenFone Zoom, has announced that it has reached a collaboration agreement with Microsoft. Under this agreement, Asus mobiles and tablets will come standard with Microsoft productivity applications.
In an initiative in which more and more manufacturers are present (Samsung, Sony or LG, for example), Asus has announced that its next mobile devices will come from the factory with Microsoft's Office applications. " This agreement represents a significant value for both companies , " said Nick Psyhogeos , a senior Microsoft, referring to the ability to share patents and technological innovations that this agreement opens the two companies. For users, the only difference will be that your next Asus device will incorporate some applications as standard.Microsoft that, at the moment, we do not know if they can be uninstalled manually.
OneDrive or OneNote are only examples of Microsoft applications that other manufacturers already include in their mobiles, although in the case of Asus it should not be ruled out that other apps such as Office Mobile, Outlook or Bing may also be installed, all of them also belonging to the American company.
And, in terms of mobile telephony, what have been the latest Asus launches in Europe ? The most recent model was presented in August of this year, and it is the Asus ZenFone Max, a mid-range terminal that stands out for the enormous capacity of its battery. The ZenFone Max yet confirmed is priced out (although we do know that will be available on the international market), but its technical specifications are a screen of 5.5 inches with 1.280 x 720 pixel resolution, a processor Snapdragon 410 of quad core, 2 GigaBytesof RAM, 8 / 16 gigabytes of memory (expandable via microSD up to 128 gigabytes), a main camera of 13 megapixel camera, Android 5.0 Lollipop and a battery with a capacity of no less than 5,000 mAh.
