Windows 10 Mobile is an upcoming mobile operating system developed by Microsoft. It is an iteration of the Windows Phone product line and a successor to Windows Phone 8.1; it was initially announced as an edition of Windows 10, Microsoft’s operating system for personal computers.
Windows 10 Mobile aims to provide greater consistency with its counterpart for personal computers, including more extensive synchronization of content, a new universal application platform will allow one app to run on multiple Windows 10 devices such as PCs, mobile devices and Xbox, the ability for developers to port Android and iOS apps easily with minimal modifications, as well as the capability, on supported hardware, to connect devices to an external display and utilize a “PC-like” interface with mouse and keyboard input support. Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones will be eligible for upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile, pursuant to manufacturer and carrier support. Some features may vary depending on hardware compatibility.
Windows 10 Mobile is designed for use on smartphones and small tablets under 8 inches in screen size, running on ARM as well as IA-32 processor architectures. Windows 10 Mobile entered public beta for selected Microsoft Lumia smartphones on 12 February 2015. Joe Belfiore confirmed that due to how the OS is being developed, it will not be released in parallel with PC editions of the platform. The final version is scheduled to be pre-installed on a new series of Lumia smartphones in November 2015, with the rollout of upgrades for in-market phones beginning in December 2015.
