Dual-core CPUs and LTE coming to Windows Phone in the future

Windows Phone just recently reached a major milestone with the 7.5 update, commonly known as Mango, by adding multitasking and other big improvements to the OS. Check out what we thought of it here. Anyway, now there are two other major milestones in the works too dual-core CPUs and LTE connectivity.

Andy Lees, head of the Windows Phone division. He thinks they are in a good position to take the role of the third player in the mobile OS world as an alternative to Android and iOS, with Mango helping to boost sales volumes.

As for dual-core CPUs, those are something thats being worked on but Lees did not give a time frame for when they might make it to market. Current top end WP phones run on 1.5GHz single-core CPUs and Lees thinks they will stack up well enough against dual-core smartphones.
