Windows 10 for mobile devices (marketed as Windows 10) is a mobile operating system developed by Microsoft, succeeding Windows Phone 8.1. It will primarily aim to bring tighter integration and unification with its PC counterpart, and provide a platform for both smartphones and small tablets with ARM system-on-chips.
Most smartphones running Windows Phone 8 or 8.1 will be capable of being upgraded to Windows 10 for mobile.
Development
In July 2014, Microsoft's then-new CEO Satya Nadella explained that the company was planning to "streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system for screens of all sizes," unifying Windows, Windows Phone, and Windows Embedded around a common architecture and a unified application ecosystem. However, Nadella stated that these internal changes would not have any effect on how the operating systems are marketed and sold. On September 30, 2014, Microsoft unveiled Windows 10; Terry Myerson explained that Windows 10 would be Microsoft's "most comprehensive platform ever," providing a single, unified platform for desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and all-in-one devices.
The mobile version of Windows 10 was publicly unveiled during a press event on January 21, 2015; in accordance with Microsoft's unification strategy, the Windows Phone brand is in the process of being phased out from public usage, and this version will be branded solely as "Windows 10" without any disambiguation, rather than "Windows Phone 10".
Windows Phone 8 smartphones can be upgraded to Windows 10 for mobile, pursuant to hardware compatibility and manufacturer support. In November 2014, a post by Microsoft Mobile's Twitter account stated that all Lumia smartphones running Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 would receive updates to 10, but following the official unveiling, Microsoft reiterated and stated that they were targeting the "majority" of Lumia phones, and that not all phones would receive the update or support all of its features.
Features
Action Center has been redesigned to match the version adopted by Windows 10 for PC; notifications can be synced between devices, and certain types of notifications allow inline replies. The home screen resembles that of Windows Phone 8.1, except that wallpapers are now displayed behind the tiles rather than within them. The messaging app can aggregate SMS with Skype. The camera app has been updated to match the "Lumia Camera" app previously exclusive to Lumia products.
Many of Windows 10 for mobile's apps are unified with their updated PC equivalents: the Office Mobile suite was updated, and a new cross-platform Outlook app was added. Mail and calendar functionality now provides support for additional third-party services such as Gmail. The new Photos app aggregates content from local storage and OneDrive, and will be able to perform automatic enhancements to photos.
