Microsoft confirms new details about the Windows Insider program with specific reference to Windows 10 Mobile builds. The new Lumia 950, 950 XL and 550 will have a fast track to receive the new release.
Microsoft, the same time the announcement of new build 14251 Insider Preview of Windows 10 desktop, has provided useful information that can trace the evolution of the Windows Insider program with specific reference to the mobile platform.
The Redmond has confirmed that the program that allows you to try out new releases of Windows 10 Mobile will continue giving priority to the most-recent models of the Lumia line, namely the Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL and Lumia 550 that came on the market with the most latest version of the mobile operating system preinstalled Microsoft. Microsoft does not say so explicitly, but the reference is probably to the new development branch Redstone RS1. And other Windows Phone devices, waiting to upgrading to Windows 10 Mobile? Microsoft intervenes on the point, even if it is a fairly laconic reply.
We will begin to make available these builds for distributed devices (natively ed.) With Windows 10 Mobile – the 950, 950 XL and 550 – and will expand distribution when releasing Windows 10 Mobile for other devices.
Microsoft’s action brings back a question that many existing Windows Phone users will continue to pose, or if, in practice, the deployment process to Windows 10 Mobile gets underway. Unfortunately, come to the end of January, there was no significant news about it. The arrival of the update is generally set for the beginning of the year.
Returning to the Insider Preview release of Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft, through Gabriel Aul, makes it clear that the team is almost ready to deploy a new build and is focusing on the so-called OneCore, ie the core of shared code between Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile and consequently, of all the devices that access these software platforms: PC, smartphone, Xbox, Hololens. The structural changes that portend the arrival of new features. In this phase to have a fast track in the distribution of new builds, the new Lumia appear the best solution.
