Cortana and on Android

Microsoft's Cortana virtual assistant is getting a facelift on iOS and Android aimed at making it more useful for users, and also bringing a bit of brightness to what's currently a rather dour interface.
The app's biggest change is the launch of a button that lets users quickly choose between a suite of common actions, like viewing their calendar at a glance, checking reminders, or getting a weather forecast. The app itself looks friendlier, with a purple gradient background replacing a stark black, white, and blue color scheme.

On top of that, Microsoft also announced on Thursday that the iOS and Android versions of Cortana are coming to the U.K., so that Brits will be able to use the virtual assistant. Microsoft has been slow to expand Cortana's geographic reach until the assistant has been set up to work with local social norms and other expectations.
The Cortana app is a key part of Microsoft's strategy with its virtual assistant. Windows smartphones are an extreme minority compared to the iOS- and Android-powered devices that overwhelmingly dominate the market. If Microsoft wants its virtual assistant to be ubiquitous, it's important to invest in a mobile app that works on other platforms.

HP and Microsoft with a new super-phone model

The market share of mobile Windows 10 is quite small compared to iOS and Android. However, this does not mean that Microsoft and its partners are ready to surrender.
According to recent rumors, HP and Microsoft may be working together to bring a new Windows phone 10 next year.

HP has already made some efforts for inclusion in the smartphone market. For example, earlier this year the company has launched Elite X3, phone that works through the Windows 10 operating system.






If new speculations turn out to be correct, can have an X3 Elite successor next year, it said that could be launched at MWC 2017. Unfortunately, the specifics of the new phone from HP and Microsoft are not yet known

However, if the phone will be the successor of Elite X3, it will be an improvement of the device which has Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal space.
Thus, it can be expected that the new phone have a new model of processor from Qualcomm, Snapdragon 835, RAM memory and 8GB of 6 or more storage.
