Windows Mobile Back? Everything You Need to Know About Windows 10 Mobile Here!

Microsoft is veering away from Windows Phone and Nokia Lumia phones and bringing back Windows 10 Mobile. Microsoft announced on Windows.com that Windows 10 Mobile will be making a comeback.

Microsoft wrote in a blog post, "Windows 10 Mobile is designed to deliver the best user experience on smaller, mobile, touch-centric devices like smartphones and small tablets. It boasts the same, new universal Windows apps that are included in Windows 10 Home, as well as the new touch-optimized version of Office. Windows 10 Mobile offers great productivity, security and management capabilities for customers who use their personal devices at work. In addition, Windows 10 Mobile will enable some new devices to take advantage of Continuum for phone, so people can use their phone like a PC when connected to a larger screen."

CNet reported that Windows 10 Mobile is set to release in the summer of 2015. The device will feature Microsoft's universal aps that were made to be compatible to all their devices. The mobile OS will use the new Continuum feature that automatically changes an app's layout as soon as the phone is linked to a PC monitor. In such a setup, communication can be done via a mouse and keyboard.

Microsoft also wrote that Windows 10 will be launching in 190 countries and 111 languages in the summer.

Microsoft stated, "We designed Windows 10 to deliver a more personal computing experience across a range of devices. An experience optimized for each device type, but familiar to all. Windows 10 will power an incredibly broad range of devices - everything from PCs, tablets, phones, Xbox One, Microsoft HoloLens and Surface Hub. It will also power the world around us, core to devices making up the Internet of Things, everything from elevators to ATMs to heart rate monitors to wearables. No matter which Windows 10 device our customers use, the experience will feel comfortable, and there will be a single, universal Windows Store where they can find, try and buy Universal Windows apps."

Windows 10 will be offered for free to the majority of present-day tablet, smartphone and PC users, with the hope of bringing back the glory that Microsoft enjoyed before the Android and iOS era. Company executives aim to have over 1 billion devices operating on Windows 10 by 2018, based on the same report by CNet.

TechRadar also gave an early review of the Windows 10 Mobile, citing that the platform is showing real promise and the phone looks better and offers more functionality than ever before.
