First smartphones bearing Microsoft's Windows Phone eight operating system (OS) are hitting store shelves this holiday season. The best smartphones has even reviewed the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC Windows Phone 8X, the first 2 premium handsets with Microsoft's next-generation smartphone operating system (OS).
Multitasking :
We begin with the multitasking functionality wherever users will now get the option to manually close an application. And it also adds that much needed rotation lock feature – a feature which one of my friends was actually dying for.
Driving Mode :
You also get a Driving Mode feature where in the smarphone would restrict notifications and a different such activities to give the user a much better, distraction free navigation experience.
Full HD Displays :
Official support also comes for devices with full HD displays. Although I did not actually fancy this feature, today that almost every Android flagship devices have moved on to full HD displays – why not? This addition of 1080p display support also means we'd be seeing phablet sized Windows Phone devices in the months to come. Other addition would be the added support for Quad Core processors which until now could not come through to Windows Phone. So, expect a slew of devices running the Qualcomm powerhouses – the 600 and the 800 soon.
Is the multitasking improved?
Multitasking, which is in reality task-switching, remains unchanged in Windows Phone 8. An app pauses when you leave it and resumes when you open it up again.

Windows Phone 8
The good news is that it works and works well. Believing that this is a phone running a descendant of Windows NT, this is remarkable. Windows 8 Phone is solid, stable, and greatly improves on the tortuous task-switching that plagued the previous pre-release versions. Predictions of broken software rapport between Tango (the codename for updates to Windows Phone 7.x) and Apollo (Windows 8 Phone) were greatly overstated: Windows Phone 7.x apps run just very well on the latest OS (operating system), while an upgraded multitasking Skype isn't available in the Store just yet.Multitasking :

how well does Windows Phone 8 support productivity, and keep you connected to the business tools that truly matter?
In my opinion, Windows Phone 8's support for Office 2013 is unparalleled in any other mobile OS (operating system), but Google Docs support will have to come from the Web or from third-party apps.Is the multitasking improved?
Multitasking, which is in reality task-switching, remains unchanged in Windows Phone 8. An app pauses when you leave it and resumes when you open it up again.
Is it true that with Windows Phone if the phone screen is locked, Wi-Fi will disconnect and you won't get Internet notifications?
Yes. When you unlock the smartphone, it checks for new updates. Always-on Wi-Fi is a fast way to drain your battery.
