Upcoming Windows Phones 2015: Microsoft Partners With Lenovo To Launch Windows 10-Powered Handsets In China
Windows 10 is finally hitting the market a couple of months from now, and most PC fans are already excited about what this new OS can offer them. However, as early as now, there are some reports claiming that the Win10 is already DOA or dead or arrival mainly because the market has waited too long for Microsoft.
Now, according to a report by GSM Arena, it looks like the Redmond, Wash.-based technology giant has partnered with one of China's biggest companies in order to bring the new Windows 10 to the world's biggest market.
In the report, Lenovo will allegedly offer Windows 10 upgrade services all throughout the Asian nation. In addition, the electronics company will also develop new smartphones running Win10.
Based on the report, Lenovo will launch a number of Windows-powered smartphones by the middle of 2015.
Announced last year, the Windows 10 OS will be Microsoft's answer to the decreasing demand for PCs and WP-powered handsets.
In order to manage users better, as well as offer streamlined services that are standard across all devices, the tech giant will allow the new Windows 10 to run on PCs, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones.
One major problem Microsoft might face when releasing the brand new operating system is the serious piracy problem in the region.
As a result, the Redmond-based company reportedly partnered with a number of firms namely Tencent, Qihu 360, and even Xiaomi to offer Windows 10 to their respective consumers as a free upgrade.
In a report by the Windows Blog, users can upgrade to Windows 10 even if they are running pirated versions of Windows.
