Lenovo is not clear about the future of Windows 10 Mobile despite the announced support from Microsoft
Fuel to the fire what Lenovo adds when talking about Windows 10 Mobile And despite what many may think, from Redmond is clear that they will continue to support their mobile ecosystem despite the company's withdrawal from the manufacturing of terminals.
But do we believe this position? From Lenovo, one of the most important equipment manufacturers, apparently do not have it so clear. And it is that the Asian company does not see the future of the mobile platform devised by Microsoft as rosy.
Lenovo has a good number of products in its catalog, whether laptops or tablets, which have Windows 10 and despite Being one of the manufacturers with Microsoft had agreements to promote Windows 10 Mobile, this is an area in which they have not lavished themselves excessively.
The company has experience in the world of telephony, since along with the terminals under the Lenovo seal they added those of the brand Motorola after its acquisition. We cannot say that it is a rookie company in the world of mobile phones. So it was a matter of porting that experience to Windows 10 Mobile.
Something we can stop dreaming about, at least if we stick to recent statements by Lenovo's COO, Gianfranco Lanci, in which you have stated the following:
Will they have access to classified information? Leaving conjectures aside, it is true and that cannot be denied, that Windows 10 Mobile has a complex futureAnd three problems in its base, two of them not directly fixable by Microsoft, is to blame.
Windows 10 Mobile problems
On the one hand the absence of terminals, the only one in which from Redmond they could pitch in. For a product to sell, a good showcase is needed and in this case the attraction is mobile phones and if we find a platform with a few representatives (HP Elite x3, Alcatel Idol 4 Pro, Acer Jade...) compared to the solidity of Apple and the iPhone or the immensity of Android…wrong way.
This brings us to a second factor such as sales and market share, which falls quarter by quarter until reaching minimum levels that in many countries are anecdotal. We repeat, terminals are needed that attract the consumer and at the same time the operators so that they introduce them in their catalogues.
And on the way to attracting operators... what is a system without applications Windows 10 Mobile needs more applications, grows little slowly but surely and not see how developers and apps from their store are lost along the way. It is another way to attract an audience that is just as important as the other two.
Three problems that are difficult to solve that, who knows if they could be the basis of this pessimistic position transmitted from Lenovo.
