14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has already announced that, once Windows for PCs reaches the market, it would focus a lot more on the mobile version and that's exactly what the company is trying to do these days.
Gabriel Aul, head of the Windows Insider, today confirmed that his team is already testing a new release candidate internally, but no timing can provided at this point, as any major bug that might be discovered could push back the launch for several days.
Just like the company announced last week when it released Windows 10 Mobile build 10512, the focus is now on fixing bugs and improving performance of the operating system, which could be a sign that the new platform is almost feature complete and Redmond is hard at work to get it ready for the grand debut later this year.
“The team was very focused on our Windows 10 release for PCs and tablets, and we needed to do some prep work for Mobile to move to a new branch. I expect the builds to be out more frequently again as we go forward from here. Our major focus on Windows 10 Mobile right now is on improvements to core quality,” Microsoft said last week.
New flagships expected in late September
Windows 10 Mobile is projected to launch in September or October, but the date is unknown right now, as Microsoft is keeping all details secret for the moment.
But there's some talk online that Windows 10 Mobile could actually see daylight in late September or early October, together with new flagships that would serve as pioneers of the new operating system.
Two separate devices are likely to launch with Windows 10 Mobile, namely Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL, both expected to include not only the new operating system but also high-end features such as an iris scanner to be able to use the new Windows Hello authentication system.
@chief_tech We have new builds working through internal rings, but no ETA to share.
