Howard added that “the company will go where the market leads in terms of deciding which operating system to include in its handsets”.According to ZDNet, JD Howard, vice president of business operations & worldwide business development at Lenovo’s Mobile Internet and Digital Home group has confirmed that the company is planning on a Windows Phone 8 handset.
With regard to consumers’ security concerns over the vulnerabilities in Android OS or that the phones are made in China, Howard said that “the security features in Windows Phone 8 should help mitigate many of their fears”.
While a proposal to manufacture handsets running Microsoft‘s new mobile platform has already been submitted, a final decision might only take place in April as Lenovo‘s fiscal year ends in March.
Should the plans go through, the new device is likely to be available sometime this year.
