In October 2010, Microsoft announced their mobile operating system Windows Phone 7. The WP system design was very different from the skeuomorphism of iOS and various Android manufacturers at the time. (Recommended Learning: PHPSTORM )
is very simple at first glance, and many people think that this design is very ugly at that time.
Different from Android and Apple, its main page also has Live Tiles (dynamic icons), so there is no need to click into the App to view information.
This design has been used for reference by many news apps/mobile phone system notification bars. No one recognized WP design 10 years ago, but now many designs are made based on WP.
When Windows Phone first started, many people predicted that it would fail.
Some foreign media say it is because Microsoft wants to be the next Apple and has made their WP circle too closed. At that time, to use Windows on a mobile phone, it had to use Microsoft-approved hardware configurations (processor, screen, etc.) to achieve the highest optimization.
But many manufacturers don’t want to make mobile phones based on their configuration tables, so instead they invest in open source Android (although WP is better in many aspects).
Not many companies are willing to help them make mobile phones, and people don’t want WP phones. WP mobile phone market share is small, so no one is willing to make software for their system.
In November 2011, some manufacturers were willing to try to make some quite outstanding mobile phones. And equipped with some cool black technology. Similar to the Dell Venue Pro which has a sliding keyboard, the HTC 7 Surround which has a super loud speaker stand, etc.
Nokia also plans to join this ranks, so all their expectations of the destroyed Symbian system are invested in WP. These WP phones feel much more modern than other phones of the same period. More and more people are beginning to like WP because of its large screen and modern design of mobile phones. During this period, the new Windows Phone 8.0 was also released with a more modern design. but! The kernel of WP8 has been completely revised. Previous WP7 phones do not support the new WP8!
Second half of 2013 - WP is about to get cold
To be honest, WP will definitely fail from the beginning. In the second half of 2013, Nokia released their 1020 mobile phone, equipped with an astonishing 41 million pixel rear camera! Looking at it now, this parameter is also very impressive. But he ultimately lost in the software ecosystem.
I remember at that time, the head of Microsoft’s WP department said that WP’s share would rise to 15% in 2018. But in fact, five years ago, many people knew that this was impossible to achieve.
As we all know, Google and Microsoft were the most direct competitors in mobile phones at that time. At that time, Android's market share had basically reached 80%, Apple's 12%, but Microsoft's only 3.6%.
In order to prevent WP from developing, Google deliberately did not put their own APP on the WP store. Google’s YouTube is Wai Guoren’s main way to pass the time, but WP does not have this software. There are not many people using Google search yet, so Wai Guoren naturally gave up choosing this phone.
