While Microsoft has already made it clear that only some of Windows Phone 8’s features will be included in Windows Phone 7.8, it didn’t offer a complete list of the differences between the two new versions of its mobile OS.

Luckily, Smartphone France has uncovered a document that seemingly belongs to Nokia, and lists the features that are missing from WP 7.8. These are:

• Over-the-air updates
• Support for screen resolutions higher than WVGA
• Internet Explorer 10
• Multi-core processor support
• Windows Phone Wallet
• NFC
• Real multitasking
• MicroSD card support
• Device Management
• Company Hub
• Secure Boot and Encryption



Windows Phone 7.8 will be launched as an update to current WP7 devices later this year. New (and affordable) hardware running it might also be introduced. ###
