Microsoft's upcoming front runner smartphone is reportedly codenamed as McLaren, which is tipped to make it's debut in the United States, on different carriers, later this year. The new Windows Phone from the Redmond company, that acquired the Finnish based manufacturer, Nokia, will come with new features like Kinect inspired sensors, that is internally known as 3D Touch or Real Motion (Nokia developed?), according to the source reports.
The new function on the phone will let it's users hover their fingers over the device's display panel to work around with different applications and even play games. The Verge also reports the upcoming handset's back design will be somewhat similar to the Nokia made Windows Phone, Lumia 1020, with the slightly humped casing for the primary shooter and LED flash.
The purported impending Microsoft phone or codenamed McLaren will come fitted with a number of hardware sensors to make their new 3D Touch technology work well. According to the reads, users of the smartphone will be able to answer a phone call by raising the phone towards their ears and to enable the speaker, all you need to do is just place the handset on a table during an active call, users can also end the call by placing their smartphones in pocket. And with these new sensors on board, you can silent your smartphone by just covering it with your hands or when held to chest and just wave your hands over the screen to dismiss alerts and other notifications.
Once the phone is official, it will also have the abilities to detect how the user is holding the 3D Touch enabled smartphone, that is said to improve the screen orientation while using it in bed for instance. The looming phone from Microsoft is said to skip the physical button on the sides of the device, where you will be able to wake the phone up by just holing it within your hands. With the clear interaction of the sensors and the operating system, you can zoom in and out the lens from the camera app by just dragging your fingers along the sides of the rumored smartphone.
As stated by them, the company was in plans to introduce their new 3D Touch tech and Windows Phone 8.1 OS on Nokia's phone, codenamed Goldfinger handset, but as things have changed in the mean time for Nokia, Microsoft will have to shift their idea over a new device. The authority also talks about the new MixView feature from their software side, where users will be able to hover over a live tile from the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system and also open it with a "tap down in the air", basically without the need of touching the display, to open a set of small tile, with applications apposite to it.
Unfortunately, we don't have any other information regarding the handset Microsoft is preparing in their pipelines. But if everything aforementioned goes up for an official announcement, this can be a tough competitor for other upcoming 3D technology enabled smartphones.
