Windows Phone Lenovo?

The whole internet is slowly starting to spread speculation that Lenovo is working on a smart phone operating system from Microsoft. Specific details are still not available, but it does not prevent us to abandon our imaginations. Want to know how Lenovo Windows Phone I imagine?

Even during last year's MWC 2014, Lenovo introduced as an official partner of the Windows Phone. But it was a long time the latest relevant information on the cooperation of Microsoft and Lenovo in the field of smart phones. Initial speculation reported that Lenovo will introduce the final facility by the end of 2014. This did not happen. At this year's MWC 2015 in Barcelona, ​​Lenovo has re-emerged as a project partner Windows Phone and thus revived my desire for Lenovo smartphone operating system from Microsoft stable.

The reasons why the final performance smartphone with Windows Phone occurred, there may be several. It was probably preferable to wait directly to the new version of Windows Phone and ride the wave and on the marketing and focus on the next generation of devices. Lets imagine a broad portfolio of low-end to high-end devices and provide them long enough technical support. Development and promotion of devices running which incidentally from afar started playing knell, simply would not be lucrative.

So now we have no choice but eagerly await a Windows Phone and speculate about its specifications. The main advantage of Windows Phone operating system for smart phones is that it is not at all demanding as hardware is concerned. Thanks to the great optimization is sufficient to completely smooth running and common hardware so devices with a price tag of around 3000 - can compete with the much more expensive colleagues running Android.

Personally, I can imagine a slightly modified Lenovo VIBE X2 with Windows 10, painted in a beautiful blue color variation is a great 5palcovým FullHD IPS display. Eight-core processor X2 offers plenty of power for boorish Android system, and if in such a phone running Windows Phone, system response would be absolutely fabulous. Such a device would accurately reflect the spirit of the entire ecosystem with a new Windows Phone tenth beautifully chiseled lines, lightning speed, fine display and sophisticated design is exactly what I look for.

I think that Lenovo may also offer attractive low-end smartphones built on the basis A7000, which offers plenty of power and a great display. Hardware specifications for the system from Microsoft more than sufficient. As for high-end devices are concerned, I'll be surprised what the new Lenovo VIBE X3 Pro, which could be a top model with Windows built.

Users of Android One in Indonesia and India were already in the enjoyment of the new system, therefore we must also assume that the update older devices such as the Nexus 7 2012 should do something useful again.

A tangible indication of the imminent release of the updated website is in the Nexus factory images and also the telecommunications provider T-Mobile has provided in-house website for the Nexus devices with an update. In addition, also appeared in the issue tracker on the testimony of a Google-Developers, which states a bug that this Android 5.1 (API 22) is fixed and should be the release shortly.

Inside is a 1.6 GHz faster potter Quad-core processor and it will likely come from rock chip and has access to 2 GB of memory. The 16 GB internal memory measured coincides with a size of 16 GB of pretty average, an extension is possible thanks to the built-in microSD slots available, however. In addition there are two 5- and 2-megapixel camera, a powerful 8000 mAh battery, and Android version 4.4 KitKat.
