14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has already promised to launch a new Windows 10 Mobile build very soon, and this is most likely scheduled to arrive this or the next week, but Redmond hasn't provided any kind of information, as work continues until the very last minute.
And yet, Chinese media is now reporting that a brand new build is being tested locally, which could provide us with a quick glimpse into the version that Microsoft might be releasing to our Windows 10 Mobile devices soon.
This new build is 10512, which is a huge jump from 10166, the current version of Windows 10 Mobile that was released to insiders more than one month ago. So Microsoft might indeed focus a little bit more on the mobile version now that the PC build is out, but it remains to be seen if this information is accurate or not.
Increased focus on mobile
Last month, Microsoft promised to focus more on Windows 10 Mobile once the PC version goes live, and it turns out this is indeed the case, if the new build number is indeed real.
Basically, with this huge version jump, Microsoft could be signaling a major batch of improvements, which could in its turn be the result of changes to accelerate work on the project. More developers were supposed to move from the PC version to the smartphone once Windows 10 got the green light, in order to make the new operating system ready for the big launch later this year.
As for the release date, nothing is certain so far, but Gabriel Aul, head of the Windows Insider program, has hinted that a fresh mobile build is projected to see daylight anytime soon, as the company is working on creating a new branch for insiders (mostly thanks to OS work advancing very well).
Windows 10 Mobile build 10240 was held back from the public release because of a blocking bug, so 10512 could be the next big release for insiders.
