Facebook smartphone will be on Windows Phone?
Naturally, Microsoft has its own opinion about the future mobile device Facebook. The company from Redmond believes that it is hardly a good idea for Facebook to make its own smart phone based on the Android fork, as it did, for example, Amazon and Barnes & Noble with their tablets. Obviously, Microsoft believes that Windows Phone is the best basis for a Facebook phone.
Neither side has commented on the rumors, but it is likely that Microsoft, at least, has contacted Facebook for potential partnerships. Rumor has it that Microsoft really wants to help build a platform that will carry the tag “powered by Windows Phone”, but is branded with Facebook. Such a plan will certainly mean less work for Facebook to create a mobile platform, but just as well it will mean that the social giant will have much less opportunity to customize the operating system.

A big plus for Microsoft is that Facebook will not support a direct competitor in the face of Google. Yes, and the output of the smartphone Facebook almost instantly and several times increase the presence of Windows Phone in the market. A survey conducted at the beginning of the year showed that approximately 12% of users in the United States are “very interested” or simply “interested” in Facebook. If we assume that even half of them still buy a Facebook smartphone on Windows Phone, then Microsoft’s market share will experience an unprecedented rise.
In addition, Facebook and Microsoft already have a fairly close relationship - Facebook is deeply integrated into Windows Phone and Microsoft already more or less understands how to work with it and develop it. And finally, Microsoft already has established contacts with manufacturers of smartphones (information appeared at the end of April that HTC, which, by the way, has a good line of Windows Phone devices, is preparing a smartphone for Facebook ) and operators, so Facebook will not have to start everything from scratch.
Summarizing all this, we can conclude: Facebook is unlikely to incline to Windows Phone, but adopting Microsoft’s mobile system can greatly simplify the company's social life and speed up access to the market with its smartphone, and the software giant will be very helpful with market promotion.
