5 New features in Windows Phone

By Jenny Smith


The Microsoft Windows Phone 8 is often mentioned in the tech news. Computer lovers will always be on a look out for the most up-to-date technology and so talking about the characteristics of Windows 8 is an activity they like. With regards to the Windows 8 powered mobile phone the most important factor to note is that it is powered by a number of unique capabilities never seen before. The functions provided in this phone are better than that of its precursor as this operating system is based on NT; what's more, it has a new Kernel. Let us find out more about it and the five new features of this cutting edge mobile phone.

- Start-up display

- Data use alerts

- News & Movies Updates

- Mapping available offline

- Me Tile Features

Now let's take a look at each of the above features one by one that makes this phone software so unique

The startup screen within the new edition of Windows phone is something that comes with an additional advantage to the user. The display has the capacity to adjust the size of the tiles. This way a operator can include as many tiles as needed. Now it is quite easy to increase the tiles on home screen since you can make way for additional tiles by resizing them. This way it's easy to get to apps added on the start up screen without making it chaotic or dealing with space constraints.

Usually a user has to manually monitor the data usage while surfing via the internet. Checking data via AT &T app is exhausting but with this new Windows 8 phone, the user will not need to track data by hand. The efficiency of data tracking is automated with this new edition of Windows. In addition, the additional functionality of data alert also resizes and decreases the website page size that is downloaded on the mobile phone. Consequently faster downloads and much less data use.

People who are keen on catching up on the latest news do not need to look up additional sources as the latest news updates will be supplied by Bing. In case you are interested in knowing about the most up-to-date motion picture releases then you need not open any third party mobile app as Bing is well equipped to give you all the details you might need. Current news headlines and movie reviews, releases are all available via Bing that will come pre-loaded with Windows 8.

The map option is usually accessible on the internet to the users but not necessarily off-line - this changes in Windows 8. You may use the Maps functionality without having to use the internet. This should help you conserve data usage and perhaps battery life. Go to the pre-loaded Maps and start searching for the preferred locale.

The new Windows Phone is likely to offer the features of Me tile. However, this functionality is available for users but if this capability is accessible for developers is unclear. It is normally employed for changing the screen lock to acquire notifications and alerts on unread communications.
