New features of wp8 mobile phone

Windows Phone 8 will use the same NT kernel as Windows 8(ARM), which means that WP8 will probably be compatible with Win8(ARM) applications, and developers only need a few changes to make the applications run on two platforms.

1. Hardware upgrade The WP8 system has been greatly improved in hardware for the first time. As for the processor, WP8 will support dual-core or multi-core processors, while only single-core processors can be supported in the WP7.5 era. WP8 supports three resolutions: 8 x 48(15:9), 128 x 72(16:9) and 128 x 768(15:9), and WP8 screen supports 72P or WXGA. Third, WP8 will support MicroSD card expansion, and users can install the software on the data card. At the same time, all Windows Phone 7.5 applications will be compatible with Windows Phone 8.

2. Browser improvement WP8' s built-in browser has been upgraded to IE1 mobile version. Compared with the era of Windows Phone 7.5, the performance of JavaScript is improved by four times and that of HTML 5 is improved by two times.

3. It is more convenient to transplant the game. WP8 with a new kernel starts to open the native code (C and C++) to all developers, and the performance of the application will be improved. The game is based on DirectX, which is convenient to transplant. Due to the adoption of WIndows 8 kernel, WP8 mobile phone will be able to support more applications on Windows 8, and software developers only need to make some minor adjustments to these software. In addition, WP8 supports Direct3D hardware acceleration under ARM architecture for the first time, and because it is based on the same core mechanism, it will be easy to transplant programs from Windows 8(ARM) platform to WP8 platform.

4. supporting NFC technology WP8 will support NFC mobile transmission technology, which was not available in the previous WP7 era. Through NFC technology, WP8 can better interoperate among mobile phones, notebooks and tablets, making it easier to enjoy resources.

5. Realizing functions such as mobile payment Due to the introduction of NFC technology, mobile wallets have also appeared in WP8, supporting credit cards, debit cards, membership cards and other things, as well as NFC contact payment. Microsoft calls it "the most complete mobile wallet experience". At the same time, Microsoft has developed an in-program purchase service for WP8, which can also be paid by mobile wallet.

6. Windows Phone 8 with built-in Nokia maps will replace Bing maps with Nokia maps, and the map data will be provided by NAVTEQ. The built-in map services of Microsoft WP8 all have 3D navigation and hardware acceleration functions. At the same time, all models will be built with the original exclusive voice navigation function of Nokia, while Nokia's WP8 mobile phone map supports offline viewing, Turn By Turn navigation and other functions. The cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft is gradually deepening.

7. Business and enterprise functions Because WP7.5 does not fully support business, mobile commerce will be greatly improved in the WP8 era. WP8 will support BitLocker encryption, secure startup, LOB application deployment, device management, and mobile Office work.

8. The new standby interface WP8 has a new dynamic tile interface. Tiles can be divided into three types: large, medium and small, and the color of each small square can be customized. It should be noted that holding down the ceramic tile can only adjust the position or delete it, but in WP8, the size of the ceramic tile can be adjusted by the scissors in the lower right corner, and even the whole screen can be widened horizontally. At the same time, the real-time map navigation on WP8 can be displayed directly in the tile of the main interface.

9. Supporting MicroSD card In the era of Windows Phone7, WP7 mobile phones did not support SD card expansion, so this time Microsoft announced that Windows Phone 8 added this function, and WP8 mobile phones supported SD card expansion. However, at the press conference, Microsoft only demonstrated how to copy files to SD cards, and did not explain whether applications could be installed in SD cards. Microsoft announced the first cooperative OEM of Windows Phone 8, which will include Nokia, Huawei, Samsung and HTC respectively, deeply support the localization development in various places, and will also speed up the version update. However, due to the kernel change, WP8 will not support all mobile phone upgrades of WP7.5 system, and Microsoft has also provided a WP7.8 system for WP7.5 mobile phones, which is equipped with a new interface of WP8 to show comfort.

1. The brand-new WP8 interface will have three sizes of dynamic tiles, namely, large, medium and small. What users see is no longer a static Fang Gezi interface, but tiles with different sizes can be combined together, and the tile size can be adjusted by pressing and holding the tiles.
