The current devices with Windows Phone 7 officially receive the next major release of Microsoft's mobile system according to Nuno Silva, the evangelist of Windows Phone in Portugal. It was almost certainly upgrade the smartphones to Tango, but still did not have more information about Windows Phone 8, code-named Apollo.
In an interview with Portuguese Forum Forums, Nuno Silva says that Microsoft has confirmed the information that all smartphones will be upgraded to Apollo. As is also true for older devices such as LG and Samsung Omnia 7 Optimus 7, launched in late 2010. These devices had more modest GPU and single processor, clocked at 1 GHz, but have received official update for Mango.
One of the key features of Windows Phone are the restrictions of hardware and software that Microsoft imposes on the platform. No customizations made by manufacturers and operators - except pre-installed applications that can be removed easily - and hardware settings defined by the company, new versions of the system can run even on older devices.
The question is on account of the recent rumors that Samsung would focus their efforts on Windows Phone 8, which allow the production of more powerful hardware to smartphones - handsets with Android full of RAM and quad-core processors, the platform was not as striking for potential buyers. Will the new version of the system would run well even in the first generation Windows Phones?
Update | According to a "reliable source" in The Verge, there is no update for the Mango Apollo, which may indicate that the Evangelist in the Microsoft Windows Phone Portugal confused by the information passed company. "We affirm publicly that all applications will work in our Marketplace in the next version of Windows Phone. But we have nothing to say about future releases, "said a Microsoft spokesman. Because the source is anonymous and there is still no official stance of the manufacturer, we can not confirm any information at this time.
