Chinese suppliers observed increase in orders coming from Microsoft.
Microsoft has decided to forego part of Taiwanese services suppliers for the benefit of Chinese contractors wishing to reduce costs and achieve more competitive prices for the components. As expected, this year Truly Opto-electronics Ltd will become a major supplier of components for the needs of Microsoft.
Also, sources reported that Microsoft is now preparing to launch two new smartphones. They will most likely debut at the MWC 2015, which will open next Monday, March 2, in Barcelona.
