Four predictions for Windows Phone 8 in 2013

We leave behind the prediction of the Mayans, and since we do not have any threat of the end of the world nearby, we can go on speculating about what the future of things will be, in this case of Windows Phone.

I would dare to say that this year we will be able to really see what Windows Phone is made of, almost 2 years have passed since the operating system was released, and until now all this was as a test to see how it was liked by the public. Microsoft (and Nokia) put all the meat on the grill in this version, and this is where we will see real results in the competition.

With a year ahead, it's a bit difficult to know what will happen with this operating system and the market in general, because with a small change you can shake up the entire market and companies. However, we'll take the crystal ball out of the closet and talk about some of the things that could happen this year on Windows Phone.

Leaving Power Behind

The Windows Phone market, from the start, has been more geared towards perfecting things like apps and design than power. Apparently Microsoft always wanted to highlight this, and Windows Phone 8 comes from the same side.

By 2013, you could see terminals that enter more through the eyes than by the specifications, without going any further, it is already rumored that Nokia could be preparing a terminal with almost the same specifications as the Nokia Lumia 920, but with a major change in design.And HTC seems to be focused on launching the terminal with a 4.7-inch screen with Windows Phone 8.

The low-end will take an important place

Although high-end handsets are important, in many markets low-end handsets still get a significant portion of profits Y companies know this. Nokia has launched terminals like the Nokia Lumia 510 or the Nokia Lumia 620 and Chinese companies like Huawei already have their bets for those markets.

In 2013, these terminals are going to grow in number and we will see alternatives for those users who are still a little leery of buying a terminal with Windows Phone.

Games, Games, Games

Because of the good portability that Windows Phone 8 has to other Microsoft platforms, it is possible that we will see interesting things in the games.Of course, more titles could arrive at the store that would take advantage of the benefits of NFC and the portability provided by tablets and smartphones.

Exchange of products between each user by NFC? Using a Windows Phone as a controller for some Windows 8 or RT game? Games with good graphic quality thanks to Unity3D or Havok? The cards in hand are many, and we hope that in 2013 the developers play them well.

A battle between Blackberry OS and Windows Phone

The market is always divided by 3 competitors, the first two, as you can imagine, are iOS and Android, third place It is still being seen who is going to take it. Of course the two that are fighting it are Windows Phone and Blackberry OS.

Blackberry 10 OS has a release date of January 30, and this will greatly mark the future of the RIM company, as it is one of its last bets to avoid falling into financial trouble.Of course, Microsoft and Windows Phone 8 won't let RIM take this spot.

Does RIM have tools to outpace Windows Phone? Yes, the most obvious is that Blackberry is much better known and accepted in the world than Windows Phone, also, the operating system has an interesting interface driven by gestures. However, Windows Phone is not alone either, the main advantage is the designs on the terminals and the vivid colors that attract attention, also, Microsoft is a very big company and knows how to sell its products and advertise them.

In 2013, we may see more aggressive competition between these two operating systems to see who will go on to take over third place in the market and who would leave behind.

Now it's your turn, What are your predictions?
