Much has been said about the purchase of Nokia "" of its division of terminals and hardware "" by the North American Microsoft. Those of Redmond want to have a total tutelage over the family of devices that commands the progress of Windows Phone in the market. Logically, it is too early to know how the results of this new situation will materialize, but what we are beginning to have indications of is what Windows Phone 8.1, the next version of the platform, will be like. A couple of different sources have revealed individual images showing screenshots of the main interface of the next step in the progression of an environment that was released in 2010.
On the one hand, from XDA Developers they have unveiled a capture that shows a new tile intended to group the notifications that are received, so that they are all grouped in a single space, which would help to maintain order in the updates received from the system messaging, as well as emails or news on social networks. The proposal would thus maintain a certain coherence with the applauded and minimalist main space of Windows Phone, without therefore resorting to the also successful Android formula, which Apple borrowed for its part.
Likewise, in the same image we can see that another tile shows advisories dedicated to Skype and Outlook "" Microsoft's native email system and heir to Hotmail "", although it is difficult to guess what it could be. However, relying on another filtered image, this time from windows-phone.pl, we can have clues about it. In this capture you can see how several tiles can be kept selected simultaneously, which apparently could proceed to some kind of grouping following random criteria. Thus, it is invited to think about the possibility that Windows Phone 8.1 andThere is an option to join several tiles in a folder, which helps to maintain a bit of order in the main interface of the Microsoft operating system.
At the moment there are no dates that serve as a guide to know when the Redmond would release version 8.1 of Windows Phone. So far they have been presenting previews during the first bars of the summer to launch the update during the last quarter of the year. However, in 2012 they limited themselves to showing one version, the last one in force so far, which would only be released in new terminals, presenting an update that maintained some of the newest features, although with slight differences (Windows Phone 7.8). In view of the fact that Nokia will present the new Nokia Lumia 1520 ”” the first phablet on September 26 with Windows Phone in general and Nokia in particular ””, it could be that Microsoft took the opportunity to kick off the Windows Phone 8.1 race. Despite everything, there are no indications that point in this direction. What does seem clear is that current Windows Phone 8 phones may be updated, according to the clues that the Nokia Lumia 620 has already shown with the still unpublished version.
