When Apple launched the iPhone 5S with a 64-bit processor, it sent the rest of the spec-obsessed SoC world on a race to catch up. After about a year of lag time, the Android ecosystem has finally started to catch up, with HTC announcing the Desire 510, the first 64-bit Android phone.
Surprise surprise..
Well, yeah. When Windows XP 64-bit was release, there were very few 64-bit applications too. It will take time.
(Off topic: Although I'm still waiting on Firefox 64-bit. Grrr.)
Same issue with Windows. Apple forced the issue with iOS, yeah? Makes me wonder what MS will do for WP.
Shouldn't native software be developed before the launch date? I think you were thinking of third-party softwares.
This would (given they didn't completely screw something up) be a near-perfect budget phone if it weren't for the lack of rear camera flash and notification LED... :/ By which, of course, I mean it has a removable battery and expandable storage.
