Windows 10 Version 1511 New Update KB3118754 Available now
According to its press release, AT&T is the “first US carrier” that will offer the Windows 10 smartphone, thus opening the possibility that the device will also get carrier support from other telecommunications company in the future. Aside from carrying the mobile version of Windows 10 right out of the box, the new device’s specs sheet also spells out its premium features. But when it comes to Windows 10 Mobile, every build holds importance, considering that it doesn’t get as much attention as its older sibling, the Windows 10 for Desktop. “Project Westminster”, which allows for Web sites to be ported as Windows 10 Mobile apps, has already been released to developers, while the iOS bridge, “Project Islandwood”, has been opened sourced.
Adding a new, easy avenue for monetization to Windows 10 is key for Microsoft, which is trying to attract applications and developers to its Windows Store, an app store built into its new operating system. Demand in emerging markets has helped Micromax Informatics to cement its position among the top 10 global mobile phone vendors worldwide, while Chinese brands such as ZTE, Huawei, Xiaomi, TCL Communication Technology, Oppo and BBK became increasingly aggressive in the emerging markets. Many expect it to be the Mobile Build 10586, the same number as its PC counterpart. The video showed how the experience of using the Timber app on an Android-powered Nexus 6 could be emulated on a Windows-powered Lumia 1520 smartphone. Insiders are being encouraged to test the build and make sure it’s ready for public consumption. “Additionally, you can also recover your phone by using the Windows Device Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 and then upgrade to Build 10586”.
A few related reports also indicate that Vodaphone is going to give an installment program for this new device at the price of £35 for every month for around 24 months, including 1,000 minutes, 1 GB of a 4 G data and unlimited texts.
The physical camera button should be working again if it wasn’t working for you before.
I have successfully updated a Lumia 640 and 830 to the new build and will be poking around to see how performance is and if any of the issues that have lingered around earlier builds are still there. While Microsoft’s overall mobile strategy may still be a bit murky, one thing is clear: the company is still making a big bet that Windows 10 Mobile can succeed.
