In an interview Andy Lees said that dual-core devices are not out because WP has not felt the need of it as the OS runs pretty good over a single core processor itself. When asked about plan about the future devices and the next generation LTE support on the devices, Lees said that the work is on and we could soon see devices running on dual-core processors but no specific date was given by him. He also went on to say that LTE support was not included till now in devices as the chipset consumes a lot of power and they everything to be ready in a systematic way instead of pushing out devices just to compete in the market.
Lees said that he is happy with the recent patent deal between Samsung and Microsoft which has strengthened their relation and it also includes a strong support from Samsung to develop WP devices. He also didn’t forget to mention that there is obviously a very deep relation between Nokia and Microsoft after Nokia decided to push all its future devices with Windows Phone OS onboard and this agreement is quiet ‘special’.
