Windows 10 is now under beta test, and it may come out later this year, likely this June. The new Windows OS may bring great changes in the UI, Cortana and other specs, and it is said that Windows 10 will be able to run on the low-end Lumia smartphones. According to a post from PhoneArena.com, Windows 10 is very smooth with Lumia 635. So the users of low-end Windows smartphone will benefit from the update. In fact, if you are tired of Windows 8.1 on your smartphone, you can wait for the Windows 10 update as well.
Microsoft skipped Windows 9 and jumped to Windows 10, maybe it wants to bring a different using experience to all users. Running Windows 8 on smartphone is a cool experience, and it gives users a new Modern UI and a new way to handle their smartphone. The using experience of a Windows phone is very unlikely with an Android phone or iPhone, and it has its own characteristics to attract the users.
According to a post from Gadgets.com, not every Lumia phone will be able to update to Windows 10, and the update will only provide for the majority smartphones running with Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Besides them, the budget phone Lumia 430, the selfie phone Lumia 730, and the golden edition Lumia 930 can update to Windows 10 as well.
Windows 10 features have been released, and many new functions are added into the new OS, such as Spartan Browser, Snap app and others. But few are mentioned about how Windows 10 will look like on the Lumia phone. Actually, Windows 10 will bring an interactive UI on Windows phone, and it will make users feel like that they are controlling their computer with the phone.
From the leaks on the Internet, we have already known that Cortana will have a major update on Windows 10, and we hope that it can be more humanized and friendly. We can’t help to compare Cortana with Siri and Google Now, and we will find that although these voice assistant are alike, Cortana provides a great function of recording your controlling habits. This may be a good start of a user-friendly voice assistant.
Windows 10 will have built-in MS Office apps, including MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint. These three apps are the most commonly used aps in our daily life, and when users want to edit their Word documents for example, they will be able to finish the task on the Windows 10 smartphone. The features of the Office apps on Windows 10 smartphone are almost the same like the Office apps on the computer, so the apps on Windows 10 smartphone will be very helpful.
The new features of Windows 10 smartphone may also include a movable keyboard. If you are using a large-screen Lumia 1520, you may feel that texting messages on the phablet are not as easy as texting on the 4-inch smartphone. The movable keyboard will provide much help because it can be located on the position you want on the Lumia phone. This is great, especially for the phablet users.
A cross-platform universal photo app will also be introduces on the Windows 10 smartphone. The new photo app allows users to use OneDrive to sync photos and make up the beautification and selection of the photos. For example, the photo app will automatically sort out the accidental duplicates and the photos taken in burst mode. This photo app may redefine the usage of photo apps on a smartphone.
When Windows 10 arrives this year, it won’t only bring surprise to the PC users, but also the fans of Windows phones. This new PC and mobile operating system is like Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 in its UI design, but it will have more great features than the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Let’s wait and see.
