Device should hit stores in June, but there is no much information about the features of the model
The Indian company Karbonn announced that soon will bring to market a new smartphone with two integrated operating systems : Windows Phone and Android . Who brought the news to the West was the Times of India website, which spoke with Sudhir Hasija , chairman of the manufacturer. Hasija praise enough the fact that Microsoft have made it easier for the market to " open " your system .
He says : "Microsoft has loosened regulations and is opening its platform to other players . We signed a terms and two days ago we launched a series of handsets with Windows Phone " . This all should happen next three months , but the arrival of a dual- OS for professionals who are passionate about technology will come only in June . Just is not clear whether this dual- OS means separate or integrated systems .
The Karbonn is not known in Brazil , but makes for success in the Indian market - reaching 6.4 % of the market in August last year. The main focus of their products are consumers with low purchasing power , so most of your appliances are produced for intermediate niches within the portable segment. Does a dual- OS smartphone of this type come to Brazil?

Google is not known for allowing manufacturers to use Android in conjunction with other operating systems . Recently, rumors that ASUS would have given up on such a device by pressing the Google began to circulate again . That is, we may not see the Dual - Boot on international devices , but Google can be more flexible with local manufacturers such as Karbonn (India ) , Yotta (Russia ) , ZTE (China ) or positive ( Brazil ) .
