hey guys this is Austin and saying here's the video going over windows phone 8 so earlier today a linked video hit the web of a Microsoft executive going over all the brand new features that are going to be coming in Windows Phone 8 so this video is originally meant for carriers for manufacturers people like Samsung and HTC however it was late and Microsoft has officially confirmed it so let's just go over some of the new features one of the biggest surprises is that Windows Phone 8 is going to be heavily based on Windows 8 so this means it's going to have a very similar kernel and have a lot of the same features in addition apps that are made for windows 8 can very very easily be ported over to Windows Phone 8 this makes a lot of sense of course with windows 8 having the new Metro UI which is very similar to which you will find on Windows Phone today as well as a lot of improvements as far as touch screens and all that kind of stuff goes it just seems like it's a natural fit how old are these technical changes are going to be just that technical and under the skin so all the current apps that run on Windows Phone will continue to run going to be no major changes but there of course is going to be a lot of under the hood tweaks this means that several key upgrades are coming to Windows Phone 8 so it will now be able to support multicores so of course currently Windows Phone 7 only supports a single core CPU however now you'll be able to get dual core quad core or how many recorder they decide to fit it all should work really nicely there's also going to be support for four different screen resolutions so currently all windows phones have a resolution of 480 x 800 certainly not awful but it is definitely getting a little bit long in the tooth so now we will get several more most likely including high definition resolutions there are also going to be a lot of brand new features so this includes a new skype app so it's still going to be optional so it's not going to be integrated into the OS or anything it's going to be very nice to you of course you want to use skype on your Windows Phone so the other things include there's going to be a lot of integration with Windows 8 so instead of having to use the clunky zune software everything will just be integrated so you can just be able to plug it in and everything should just work windows phone 8 will also be using a brand-new version of internet explorer and I Explorer 10 mobile now and explore actually isn't all that bad on Windows Phone and they're going to be some key improvements here most notably the fact that it will actually be able to compress your data so example some images and whatnot can I should be compressed a little bit to help you save on bandwidth there also will be NFC support so you'll be able to take your phone and pay for things and on top of that also will be able to skin cameras so for example if you don't like the standard camera interface you'll be able to get it skin to however you like so that's about all we know on Windows Phone 8 personally I'm actually really looking forward to this I've been using Windows Phone 7 for about a month or so now I've guys say I like it there's a lot of really cool stuff however not being able to have a dual core or quad core processor which you know it's pretty much what all the major phones are going to these days on top of only having one screen resolution across all the phones they make was a big problem for me however now they're going to be fixing both of these as well as getting some cool windows 8 integration I'm always looking forward to it so now that you've heard a little bit about Windows Phone 8 what do you guys think are you perhaps interested maybe taking a look at it maybe switching over from your current iPhone or Android or Blackberry or librarians are you making for apps interested in taking a look at Windows Phone 8 definitely be sure to let me know in the comments section below if you guys enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more information on Windows Phone 8 be sure to hit that subscribe button up above I will be making more videos when we get some more information when it comes out all that kind of good stuff so to be sure that you know about all the new latest updates on Windows Phone 8 be sure to subscribe
