Windows Phone 8 will use the same NT core as Windows 8 (ARM), which means that WP8 will be compatible with Win8 (ARM) applications, and developers can make applications run on both systems with only a few changes. run on a platform.

1. Hardware improvement This time the WP8 system has received a major improvement in hardware for the first time. In terms of processor, WP8 will support dual-core or multi-core processors, while the WP7.5 era can only support single-core processors. . WP8 supports three resolutions: 800 x 480 (15:9), 1280 x 720 (16:9) and 1280 x 768 (15:9). The WP8 screen supports 720P or WXGA. The third point is that 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 improvements: The built-in browser of WP8 has been upgraded to the IE10 mobile version. Compared with the Windows Phone 7.5 era, JavaScript performance has improved four times, and HTML 5 performance has improved two times.

3. Game porting is more convenient. With the new kernel, WP8 has begun to open native code (C and C) to all developers. The performance of the application will be improved, and the game is based on DirectX, making it easy to port. Due to the use of WIndows 8 kernel, WP8 mobile phones 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 the ARM architecture for the first time. At the same time, because it is based on the same core mechanism, it will be an easy task to transplant programs from the Windows 8 (ARM) platform to the WP8 platform.

4. Support NFC technology WP8 will support NFC mobile transmission technology, this feature was not available in the previous WP7 era. Through NFC technology, WP8 can better realize interoperability between mobile phones, notebooks, and tablets, making it easier to share resources.

5. Implement functions such as mobile payment. Due to the introduction of NFC technology, mobile wallets have also appeared in WP8. They support credit cards, debit cards, membership cards, etc., and also support NFC contact payment. Microsoft calls it "the most complete mobile wallet experience." At the same time, Microsoft has developed an in-app purchase service for WP8, which can also be paid through mobile wallets.

6. Built-in Nokia Maps Windows Phone 8 will use Nokia Maps to replace Bing Maps. Map data will be provided by NAVTEQ. Microsoft WP8’s built-in map services all have 3D navigation and hardware acceleration functions. At the same time, all models will have built-in voice navigation functions that were originally exclusive to Nokia, and Nokia's WP8 mobile 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 Since WP7.5’s support for business is not comprehensive enough, mobile commerce will be greatly improved in the WP8 era. WP8 will support BitLocker encryption, secure boot, LOB application deployment, Device management, and mobile Office work, etc.

8. New standby interface WP8 has a new dynamic tile interface. The 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 pressing and holding a tile can only adjust the position or delete it. In WP8, you can adjust the size of the tile through the scissor in the lower right corner, and even widen it horizontally to the entire screen. At the same time, real-time map navigation on WP8 can be displayed directly in the tile block on the main interface.

9. Support MicroSD card. In the Windows Phone7 era, WP7 mobile phone did not support SD card expansion, so this time Microsoft announced that Windows Phone 8 has added this feature. WP8 mobile phone supports SD card expansion, but at the press conference , Microsoft only demonstrated how to copy files to the SD card, and did not explain whether applications can be installed on the SD card. Microsoft announced the first batch of cooperative OEM manufacturers for Windows Phone 8, which will include Nokia, Huawei, Samsung and HTC. They will provide in-depth support for localization development in various regions and will also speed up version updates. However, due to kernel changes, WP8 will not support the upgrade of all WP7.5 system mobile phones, and Microsoft also provides a WP7.8 system for WP7.5 mobile phones, which is equipped with the new interface of WP8 as a sign of comfort.

10. The new WP8 interface will have three sizes of dynamic tiles: large, medium and small. What users see is no longer the same square grid interface. You can combine tiles of different sizes together by pressing and holding The size of the tiles can be adjusted.
