Dual SIM mobiles have been a resource especially focused on emerging markets. However, for some time now, the proliferation of this type of equipment has been a constant in western regions. The Nokia Asha, for example, bet on this configuration, which is also becoming a must-have feature in low-cost smartphones that come from aspirational manufacturers. To all these are gradually joining mid-range and high-end versions of the main firms in the sector, and in this sense, the Finnish firm itself would bet on it with a future Nokia Lumia.
This is supported by the professional filter @Evleaks, who has advanced that the company that will become part of Microsoft will put into circulation in 2014 at least one computer based on the Windows Phone 8 system capable of working with a couple of telephone lines in its inside. It would be a version of the still unknown Moneypenny, a code name that encompasses one of the mid-range equipment that we would know next year from Nokia.
The question in this regard lies in the objectives that the manufacturer would seek to meet with this equipment. In principle, as they suggest from Phone Arena, it would be a Nokia Lumia designed specifically for emerging countries, where the firm maintains a good position in market share. With this, we would speak of a fairly inexpensive equipment, which leads us to think of a device that in performance would be close to the very affordable Nokia Lumia 520 "" or the Nokia Lumia 525, its review, although it is not yet known how much it will end up costing " ”. In any case, we already know that Nokia does not miss the opportunity to put in stores in Europe and the United Statesits affordable calling phones, so its presence in developed markets should not be ruled out.
Own Nokia Moneypenny would release Windows Phone Blue, we understand as the next update of the operating system Microsoft. Among other improvements, this version would bring its appearance and interface to the Windows 8.1 environment, the firm's platform for computers and tablets, which would seek to conclude a more homogeneous design between the editions of the system intended for different terminals. The news would also be extended to the Windows notification center and a voice assistant that would try to emulate the Google Now experience on Android or Siri on iOS.
2014 will be an important year for Nokia. Not only will it spin off its terminal line of work to fully integrate into Microsoft, but it will also face the challenge of absorbing the maximum market share with a view to retaking the positions it has been losing in recent years. In this sense, the objectives that arise from the hand of Windows Phone begin to be fulfilled. In Latin America, the Microsoft ecosystem is already the second in presence, with which the forecasts that IDC and Gartner raised last year, placing Windows Phone as the second platform in global share, only surpassed by Android, are on the way to being accurate.
