Window's phones don't show up all that often here in Gizchina so this
leaked photos is quiet special and could picture a soon to be released
Windows 8 phone in
China!
Despite Microsoft claiming to be gaining on the iPhone here in the
Chinese market I can honestly say I don't see the evidences, at least not in Qingdao where it seems iPhone's are still donminent and if you can't afford one you have a Xiaomi M1.
However this could all change with Window's 8 and Micorsofts team up with
Nokia, and the
phone pictured above could be the device to make it happen.
This photo originally popped up on a
Chinese website but was taken down. I eventually tracked it down over at
Ubergizmo who claimed it is either;
- A clever hack of a phone running Windows 8.
- A Lumia 800 prototype which never made the cut.
- Or an all new Windows 8 phone leaked and heading for release.
As Window's 8 fever spreads and
Chinese buyers look at alternative
operating systems and phones for a little bit of individualiy away from the iPhone and Xiaomi users, MS could see some potential growth over the coming months!
What do you guys think would you ever be tempted to dump Android or iOS for Windows phone?
