Windows 10 Mobile Flagships To Arrive Earlier Than Usual In India

Microsoft has firm plans to introduce Windows 10 Mobile with flagship smartphones.

 

Its always been about the waiting game for Windows Phone fans here in India. Flagship devices would reach on time when Nokia was in charge, but when Microsoft took over the focus went on budget devices. Flagship smartphones (that were already few in number) reached India almost 6 months to a year after launch.

Clearly, a lot of excitement would have died out for Windows Phone fans in India by then, but this is about to change.

At Microsoft’s quarterly conference call, CEO Satya Nadella confirmed that company is still in for the hardware business and will not rely entirely on partners. More so, he also admitted that the company does not have the necessary smartphones with premium hardware to make the Windows 10 Mobile experience as it should be. So it plans on doing the same:

"I believe our participation in the phone segment by itself, so Windows phones and Lumia phones being there is important and that's why we picked the three areas where we have differentiation and we're going to focus on it. We're going to have great flagship phones for Windows fans. That's actually a segment we don't today have good devices and we hope to change that with Windows 10."

This is good news for current Windows Phone fans, as they can expect some powerful hardware options for their smartphones running Windows 10 Mobile.

More importantly, this will also give them the bragging rights when it comes to hardware, as the flagships (or should we say flagship) on sale today, are a good 4 generations older than current flagships available on the Android front.

Microsoft’s move to add flagships to its line up will certainly add the much needed oomph factor that Windows Phone currently lacks in India. The company’s line up is solely focussed on the budget segment with the only mid-ranger being the Lumia 830.
