There are three active lines of work that the South Korean Samsung supports in the development of smart phones: Android, Bada and Windows Phone. The first one is the one that focuses the most attention in the manufacturer's catalog, and although the Bada family of phones could undergo an evolution towards the Tizen environment, at the moment we are dealing with the Microsoft ecosystem. Currently, the terminals that Samsung maintains in the market for the Windows Phone environment in the Spanish market are the Samsung Omnia 7 and Samsung Omnia W, both currently running withWindows Phone 7.5 Mango.
However, the firm would be preparing the launch of new devices designed to work with the next version of the platform, Windows Phone 8 Apollo, which would go on the market in parallel with the arrival of Windows 8 "" an operating system designed for computers, laptops and tablets ””. This has been confirmed by the South Korean company itself, which places the launch of at least one terminal with the new edition of the platform during the second half of the year.
Since plans Microsoft is developing a common strategy platform to deploy new versions of Windows from October, is likely to think that the new mobile from Samsung with Windows Phone 8 Apollo would not arrive before the last quarter of the year. Despite everything, there is no precision in official data in this regard, so it only remains to wait for the Asian company to decide to share more information about the plans they have.
Nor has it transpired any information about the type of terminal that Samsung would have conceived to house Windows Phone 8 Apollo. At the moment there is not much data that invites us to think about the performance and benefits that the platform would guarantee, although it is likely that it will continue in the line that the Microsoft guys have been developing with the current versions. Namely: an environment that seeks efficiency rather than requiring hyper-powerful technical equipment. In fact, the terminals that are currently designed to work with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango do not have dual-core processors, and much less does the possibility that this generation bet on chips is raised quad-core .
Although we have already seen advances in Windows 8 for computers and tablets "" that can already be used in its beta phase "", at the moment it is unknown what Windows Phone 8 will look like. However, judging from what is seen on the desktop platform, everything seems to indicate that there will be a continuous line in the interface, which will persist in the Metro concept, that is, based on tiles that show dynamic information about the installed applications.
Among the rumors that have been known about the future of Windows Phone has come to plan the possibility that Microsoft is working on a dedicated version of its motor control system for Xbox 360, Kinect, designed to function specifically according to the requirements of a smart mobile. Currently, the Android 4.0 facial recognition unlocking systems and Apple's virtual voice assistant, Siri, are the closest thing to what the Redmond firm would come up with.
