The latest rumors commented that Microsoft could be secretly preparing the presentation of its own smartphone. However, Stephen Elop (head of Nokia) has come to step to deny these gossips and confirm that your senior partner of the moment is not working on any advanced terminal with Windows Phone 8 inside.
After the launch of the Microsoft Surface project, the company's first own tablet and its first foray into the world of hardware , market reactions were diverse: it is worth noting the rejection made public by the Acer CEO, in which he warned to Steve Ballmer and his people who would think twice about the launch of this team.
Months later, the rumor that Microsoft Surface would have a brother in a smaller format: a smartphone to be clearer. A new team that would make the company present in both markets, using a version of its new operating system: one for computers / tablets and the other for advanced mobiles.
This same month of October, for next October 26, the two versions of the new operating system will be launched on the market that can be seen both on computer and tablets: Windows 8. In addition, the first units of tablets with the system of icons inside. And Microsoft's Surface will be one of them. Days later "" October 29 "" could appear the mobile version.
But, Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia, has already made it clear in an interview with AllThingsDigital that Microsoft has no plans to build its own terminal. Or, at least, he has no knowledge of that project. Although he also makes his position clear if the story suffers an unexpected 180 degree turn: "they can do it, if they choose." That is, the head of Nokia would not mind that Microsoft also competed in a sector where Nokia is presumed to be the greatest exponent to take the maximum market share within the Windows Phone sector.
Nokia recently presented in public two new terminals that will be the best bet of the year: Nokia Lumia 820 and Nokia Lumia 920. Two smartphones in the line of the first range of advanced mobiles but which in this case are mounted under a dual-core processor. But the news does not end here. There will also be a rear camera with PureView technology in the case of the Nokia Lumia 920; Nokia Lumia 820 will continue to bet on an eight mega-pixel sensor like its catalog brothers.
Meanwhile, HTC also showed its cards and submitted its bets for Microsoft's new icon system. Their names are: HTC Windows Phone 8S and HTC Windows Phone 8X. A move very similar to that of Nokia betting on a large terminal (model 8X) that equips a high definition screen and dual-core processor. And a model that will be the entry-level range in the market (8S model) with a price below 350 euros in free format.
