A few days ago we learned that Microsoft and HP were working on a new mobile with Windows 10 Mobile intended for the mid-range but with Continuum. Something that caught the attention of experts.
And this has made it possible for us to know more information about this new terminal that we will surely know in February at the MWC in Barcelona. But the data that has been leaked recently they speak more about the union between HP and Microsoft than about the terminal in question.
According to the latest information about this new mobile from Microsoft and HP, this new mobile from HP will inherit the essence of Microsoft's Lumia family. Thus, the new mobile will have the ClearBlack technology of the Lumia screen as well as other additions that Microsoft will incorporate to the Lumia.
The essence of the Lumia will continue in the market but under the HP brand
Among these additions is the function of iris scanner currently on the Lumia 950 and possibly it will mean that the device will also have Windows Hello. Thus, the characteristics that we know at the moment are the following:
- Snapdragon 652 processor.
- ClearBlack screen.
- Iris scanner.
Many sources claim that this terminal It will not be a mid-range mobile but a high-end one, equal to the HP Elite X3 and many others claim that the terminal will have a cost between 650-900 eurosHowever, these information are unclear and contradictory with the first information from the terminal.
Many Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile users do not understand why Microsoft has killed Lumia and here we could have part of that answer. But the few remnants of this department may be or have been sold to HP, which seems interested in the Microsoft ecosystem as well as the mobile market. In any case, it seems that Lumia will resist dying, at least its essence will survive in future Windows 10 Mobile phones.
