Nokia To Release Touch Gesture Sensing McLaren Smartphone Soon

Microsoft is getting ready to put up a brave fight against its competitors in the mobile phone handset market. According to the latest reports, Microsoft is getting ready to release a phone, which will work with gestures, just like the Kinect device that comes with Xbox.

According to Windows online support, Nokia is currently developing the Smartphone codenamed ‘McLaren’, which will function and respond according to your gestures. Some of the features incorporated in the phone are answering to calls while you bring the phone close to your ear, automatic launch of speakerphone, when it is kept over a table etc. The reports also suggest that the phone is capable of automatically ending the call when it is put into the pocket. In order to mute the phone, all you will have to do is hold it to your chest. Another feature is dismissing the alerts by moving the hands over the screen.

The exclusive features seem to be endless in ‘McLaren’. According to Windows online support, the phone comes with a grip detection feature and this will ensure correct display orientation when you lay down. The phone also features 3D touch technology to enhance this feature. Another feature is the touch sensitive sides and the zoom functions. You can zoom in and zoom out the camera simply by swiping the casing of the phone.

Earlier, Microsoft had decided to release the new 3D technology along with the release of Windows Phone 8.1. However, according to the latest reports, we will see this technology only by the end of this year. The sources close to Microsoft say that the new technology could be released as an update this year.

The news about the release of McLaren phones was first revealed by tipster @evleaks. According to @evleaks, the device is ready to be in the market for the holidays and would be available with three service providers, T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T. Now, there has been no official confirmation from Microsoft on this matter.

There is also another report that Amazon is also getting ready to launch 3D Smartphones. If these reports are true, the software giant would face fierce competition right from the launch of McLaren. Keep in mind that this is one of the major handsets getting ready to release after Microsoft took over Nokia. There is a lot of expectation on this phone. The success of McLaren would encourage Microsoft to indulge more in the hardware market.
