Good news for Windows Phone fans, as another video showing the next version of the Technical Preview has been spotted in China. This means that we're very close to release, though a clear launch date hasn't been confirmed by Microsoft yet.

However, we do know that Microsoft needs one more week to test the next version of Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview, which means the new build should be rolled out next week.

Until then, the folks over at WindowsBlogItalia have spotted a video of the upcoming build, coming directly from China.

They put it together and released it online, but if you don't know Chinese, you will only base your judgement on what you see rather than on what you hear.

That being said, from what we see, the video shows Microsoft's Project Spartan, as well Windows Phone's calendar application, but also the virtual QWERTY keyboard and dialer.

The contact list is shown on video as well, along with the Outlook Mail application and parts of the main menu on the smartphone with some of the apps installed.

This might be the next build to be released by Microsoft next week

The build version is 12534, which isn't available for download yet. However, we can't say for sure whether or not this is the next Windows 10 Mobile build that Microsoft plans to release next week.

It's also worth mentioning that this version of Windows Phone seems stable enough and pretty snappy. There are no lags while scrolling and no freezes during the 3-minute video, so we must assume that there are other things that those who will download it should test.

As mentioned earlier, we expect the next Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview build to arrive as early as next week. Along with new features and improvements, the next update should also bring support for additional Lumia smartphones, which makes it more important.
