Microsoft rumored to be bringing the Windows 8 kernel to Windows Phone Apollo
Windows Phone is a solid mobile OS with a refreshingly new UI. We know you’ve read that statement before in our WP7 news, but we keeping having to say it because no one seems to want to buy it. Nokia has seen some moderate success with their new Lumia handsets, but in doing so they shot up to a 45% market share of WP7 Tango phones sold. Not a promising way for Microsoft to enter the second year of Windows Phone’s life.To combat this Microsoft has planned a massive update scheduled for Q4 2012. Code-named Apollo, it will unleash high-resolution screens, dual-core CPUs, and greater integration with the upcoming Windows 8, which is scheduled for release in the same time frame. According to rumored information reported by All About Microsoft’s Mary-Jo Foley, that’s not all Apollo and Windows 8 will share – they may end up running the same kernel. Right now WP7 doesn’t share the Windows NT kernel that Windows 7 runs, it’s instead based on the … [Read more...] about Microsoft rumored to be bringing the Windows 8 kernel to Windows Phone Apollo

Many phones prove that by offering 90% of the hardware for 300-400$. posted on 30 Apr 2016, 09:13 0 6.

Looking at the actual net margins from Samsung (not to be confused with estimated material cost) , selling them at $600 from the start would actually mean a loss. posted on 30 Apr 2016, 09:52 1 9. sarcastic_nerd (unregistered) The profit margin … [Read more...] about Comments for : Deal: Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge now available at great prices on eBay

All 4 are running 1280x720p (or greater) resolution while the iPhone is running only 1136x640. And soon HTC and their 5" 1920x1080 phones will get benchmarked and "should" score lower than the LG with the same S4 Pro.
