NEW YORK: Company has announced that the new Windows 10 flagship smartphone will be available in this summer 2015.
Director of Product Marketing for Microsoft Mobile Devices, has mentioned that a flagship Lumia is likely “later this summer”. The US summer period lasts from late June to early September.
Though the report didn’t include any other details on this, it is worth noting that the time-frame coincides with the Windows 10 update release period for other Lumia smartphones.
To remind user Microsoft clarified that “not every [Lumia] phone will upgrade or support all possible Windows 10 features.”
Answering a question about which of “today’s Lumia devices can be upgraded to Windows 10″, the company’s Corporate Vice President of Sales for the Microsoft Mobile Devices group, Chris Weber, said that company is making it as easy as possible to get Windows 10. Windows 10 has been designed to run well on today’s Lumia phones. Like any upgrade to a new platform, not every phone will upgrade or support all possible Windows 10 features, and certain features and experiences will require more advanced future hardware. Our goal is for the majority of the Lumia phones running Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 to join the Windows ecosystem along with an expected hundreds of millions of PCs, tablets and other devices running the next generation of Windows.”
Although Weber didn’t share any list of devices that will get updated to Windows 10, he pointed out that “the budget-friendly Lumia 435, the selfie-happy Lumia 735, or the gorgeous gold-edition Lumia 930” will be able to get update to Windows 10 as it becomes available.
