It looks like we have some details on when the next major Windows Phone update will be released, and it looks like it will be by the holiday season, i.e., before Christmas of 2013.
The news comes from a Microsoft Careers website, with a job listing for a software development engineer for Windows Phone, and the listing has revealed that the next major Windows Phone update will land before the end of the year.
“This is a great time to join as we’re completing our current release and are getting ready for our next release targeting the holiday of this year. We’re chartered with keeping the momentum for Windows Phone by bringing new killer devices and delightful user experiences.”
Expected Features and Improvements
As yet, we do not have any details on what will be released in the next Windows Phone update. However, what we do know is that Microsoft has said that all of the Windows Phone 8 devices will get the update. This is great news for current users, as it ensures that their devices will continue to receive support and new features.
Historically, major updates for Windows Phone have included a variety of enhancements such as improved user interfaces, better integration with other Microsoft services, and new applications. For example, previous updates have brought features like the Cortana digital assistant, enhanced notification systems, and better multitasking capabilities. It is reasonable to expect that the upcoming update will continue this trend, possibly introducing new functionalities that will make the user experience even more seamless and enjoyable.
Potential Impact on the Market
The timing of this update is crucial as it aligns with the holiday season, a period when many consumers are looking to purchase new devices. By releasing the update before Christmas, Microsoft aims to boost the appeal of Windows Phone devices, making them more competitive against other popular smartphones like Apple’s iPhone and various Android devices.
Moreover, the update could potentially attract new users to the Windows Phone ecosystem. With the promise of “new killer devices and delightful user experiences,” Microsoft seems to be gearing up to offer something that could stand out in a crowded market. This could be particularly appealing to users who are looking for an alternative to the more mainstream options.
