The larger start screen can accommodate more dynamic tiles, new customized driving modes, and more powerful accessibility options.

These are just some new features and ideas in the third update of Windows Phone 8, which will be released to existing mobile phones in the next few months. As the manager in charge of the Windows Phone update team, today I will introduce the contents of the third official update of Windows Phone 8 and our upcoming new preview plan to help developers make their applications run smoothly on our latest software platform.

This year has been a busy and exciting year for our team and Windows Phone. If you follow the news, you may notice that our market share in Europe has increased by nearly 10%. We see that Windows Phone is really accelerating. We believe this stems from our continuous and rapid promotion of this platform. At the same time, our hardware partners also took advantage of this innovation and released a series of amazing Windows Phone devices throughout the year.

The story behind the third update

When we started planning the third official update of Windows Phone 8, we had three main design goals:

1. Create amazing Windows Phone devices.

2. Provide a new functional platform for existing users and partners.

3. Improve the overall quality.

Support larger and higher resolution screens.

This update can be used for future Windows Phone devices with 5-inch and 6-inch touch screens. The larger 1080p HD display will enhance the personalized function of Windows Phone. For example, a large start screen can accommodate six dynamic blocks instead of four in a row.

A larger start screen means that you can lock more important contacts, information and applications. Built-in applications such as email, pictures, contacts, music+video will also be expanded to make full use of more space on 5-inch and 6-inch screens.

More powerful hardware

In addition to the larger screen, the third update will also support the Qualcomm 8974 quad-core processor. The powerful computing power of this chip will make our already fluent operating system perform better.

Driving mode

The new "driving mode" function helps you reduce the distraction of your mobile phone while driving. When a Bluetooth device is connected to a mobile phone, driving mode can limit the number of screen lock notifications, including text messages, phone calls and quick status prompts, until you park safely.

You can even set the driving mode, so that the phone will automatically reply to the caller or sender during driving, and let them know that you will reply to them later.

New auxiliary function

Another highlight of this update is "the mobile assistant function of Windows Phone 8", which is not a single function, but a series of applications, aiming at improving the easy-to-see, easy-to-listen and easy-to-use of Windows Phone. These applications include a screen reader, which is convenient for blind and visually impaired users to manage phones and contacts, send text messages and emails, browse the web, call Skype and Lync, and listen to alarm clocks, calendars, low battery and other notifications.

Improved Internet access function

People are familiar with the Internet * * * sharing function, which can turn Windows Phone 8 into a mobile hotspot and share your cellular network data with others through Wi-Fi.

The third update will make it easier to use mobile phones as data hotspots of Windows 8. 1 devices. Just match your phone with Windows 8. 1 PC or tablet via Bluetooth, and enter the network name to connect to the Internet. You don't need to enter a password, and you don't need to turn on the internet function of your mobile phone. The system is ready for you.

More new features

This is not all the new features of the third update of Windows Phone 8. In addition to hundreds of internal performance adjustments and improvements, we have added some small and convenient new features, some of which are very popular, including:

More ringtones: In the third update, you can customize ringtones such as instant messaging, e-mail, voice mail and alarm clock. You can also customize the SMS reminder ringtone for your contacts, so that you can know who sent you the message without looking at the screen.

Rotation lock option: When you are reading e-mail in bed, you can use the new rotation lock option to fix the horizontal or vertical display mode of content on your mobile phone to avoid content rotation.

Better storage management: The new storage settings make it easier for you to clean up the phone space and manage temporary files. The brand-new catalog view can make the space occupation clear at a glance.

Easier to close the application: When you no longer use the application, you can now use the application switch to quickly close the application.

Out-of-the-box Wi-Fi access: You can now connect Wi-Fi when setting up your mobile phone, saving network data traffic from the beginning.

Better Bluetooth connection: Our team has made a series of improvements to improve the connection quality of Bluetooth accessories.

The third official update and developer preview of Windows Phone 8 is planned to be launched soon.
