Microsoft continues internal testing of the Windows Phone 8.1 update (Blue). A screenshot published by @evleaks, which specializes in technology leaks, confirms TheVerge's early post. in the Windows Phone operating system, Microsoft is going to replace the physical return and search buttons with virtual ones.
The choice of Microsoft is clear. The company is moving away from physical buttons to help hardware manufacturers stimulate the release of mobile devices by reducing costs. The transition to virtual buttons will allow manufacturers of smartphones to use almost identical components for the release of handsets on Android and Windows Phone.
Microsoft is trying to convince manufacturing companies to use the Windows Phone operating system on their Android devices. She is even considering the possibility of releasing free versions of Windows Phone and Windows RT to counter the more popular Android platform.
Very little information about Windows Phone 8.1 can be extracted from the screenshot above. All the details will be revealed at the next Build conference, which will be held in San Francisco from April 2 to April 4, 2014. The update is expected to bring with it a notification center, a personal assistant, Cortana, improvements to Skype and a number of other interface changes.
The other day on the Web there were rumors that in the ninth version of Windows Phone, scheduled for the III-IV quarter of next year, there will be no Modern tiles. The information was distributed by Eldar Murtazin, an analyst and editor-in-chief of one of the leading Russian mobile technology portals. His Twitter account says that Windows RT will no longer exist in its current format. This is consistent with Microsoft’s plans to reduce the number of Windows.
