During the MIX11 developer conference, Microsoft head of Windows Phone engineering Istvan Cseri has revealed that the next major revision of the Windows Phone Chassis spec will be updated to support the Qualcomm Scorpion processor as found in the T-Mobile G2 (MSM 7×30 series) with the Adreno 205 GPU, while the Snapdragon lineup in Windows Phone will be updated to the current Snapdragon series (MSM 8×55 series) with the same Adreno 205 GPU as the lower-clocked Scorpion. Another major addition to the hardware specification is the inclusion of gyro sensor support to allow for new applications that require motion input support.
