In this article we will discuss Windows 10 Mobile, indicate the release date in Russia, make a short review, discuss some reviews, and also learn how to install Windows 10 on the phone.
The term for the official release of this system
The system made a lot of noise even before it appeared, and now, finally, Microsoft at a public speech in New York announced the deadline for the formal emergence of Windows 10 Mobile. Release date is the end of July 2015. It was also stated that this operating system will become available not only for expensive smartphones, but also for budget-class devices that meet its needs.
What happened before?
Representatives of Microsoft said that the main options for Windows 10 Mobile (release date took place in 2015) were originally different. This version was planned to be published in early spring 2015. But for technical reasons, the date was postponed. This operating system can be used by those cell phones that have a memory card of 8 gigabytes, as well as devices on which an OS modification called Phone 8.1 Lumia Denim was previously installed.
A little earlier, Microsoft provided information on its website about which of the smartphones will be able to find Windows 10 Mobile in the first place. These will be
Lumia devices
: 430, 435, 532, 535, 540,
640, 640 XL, 735, 830, 930. It is not known why the
Lumia 1520 tablet phone is not listed in this list
, but
Windows 10 Insider Preview says that he can take part in beta testing.
Interface Overview
Among the innovations of Windows 10 Mobile, it is necessary to focus on the sizes of “live” tiles in the system menu that are different from previous versions. The changes also affected the keyboard, and more precisely, voice start, file manager, Cortana assistant and the applications Camera, Maps, Outlook and Office. Internet Explorer has passed, and now the main Internet browser is Microsoft Edge. Reworked many complex investments.
There are also dialog messages. You can answer them through notifications. By the way, the “Alert Center” itself connects to computer Windows 10 and other mechanisms based on this OS, if they are assigned to the same Microsoft account.
Applications
Particular attention was paid to applications, so the software is multifaceted for all types of devices with Windows. This innovation naturally led to two results that came from here: the order in the Windows Store was put in order and the Continuum function appeared, which helps to work on the computer. The smartphone is connected via USB, then the phone’s functionality and all its applications are displayed on the monitor.
The important news was that this system can gain great popularity in the near future among stable applications. Visual Studio accepts the cipher created for Android and Java, as well as Simbion. It can be said, using Microsoft tools, it is easy to transfer the cipher to Windows 10 Mobile almost completely without overloading it. Visual Studio can do a rebuild on its own, the linker will only need to take care of the functionality and reduce power consumption, and in the case of ordinary applications you don’t even need to think about it - everything will work.
Not sure how to install Windows 10 Mobile? This will be described a bit later. In the meantime, we will remind those people who are not in the know, this operating system is already available to many smartphones.
Thus
, the Windows 10 Mobile system, whose release date in Russia took place on July 29, 2015, is one of the newest operating systems in the world. Now let's discuss the system reviews in more detail.
Reviews
Discussing Windows 10 Mobile, an overview of which is presented in this article, it became clear to specialists: people believe that the operating system has a good future. At this stage, according to the same users, the system is still imperfect. Unfortunately, Windows 10 Mobile, a review of which proved that the system is still “bald,” has not yet been completely completed. At the moment, developers are gradually fixing bugs, but still, this OS still requires a decent revision, although it has its advantages.
pros
Thus, the Windows 10 Mobile system reviews both positive and negative. Alert Center has become the main positive feature presented by the OS. It makes available an extended list of toggle switches, erases some alerts, allows you to answer them. This is supposed to be the right solution on Windows Phone 8.1.
Also of the advantages can be distinguished:
- First display. The external type of table for work and the list of applications that deserves approval, because Windows 8.1 had exactly this kind of appearance. You might think that this is a minor change, but it is only at first glance.
- Joyce on the keyboard. Very interesting replacement for the cursor.
- Downloading multiple applications at once in the Market.
- The latest system applications. It should be noted that this does not apply to all applications. This advantage is located on the verge of simultaneously new opportunities and errors. These include the latest Office apps, a mailbox and a numerator, a player, an arithmometer, a clock, and an advanced browser.
The latest messaging and contact apps do not take advantage.
disadvantages
- Scale selection problems: meaning unreasonable text breaks in the store, too large or too small interface components. It looks unattractive. There is a hope that this is only a mistake, and not a failed “feature” of the application.
- Error in the "curtain" of notifications. We can say that this property is reproachfully, but what to do if partially incomprehensible symbols are very striking when lowering the “curtain”, which then disappear. If this is done in order to show that they are there, then why expand the button?
- Keyboard errors are perhaps the most annoying bug in the system. If the text is typed manually, other elements may come out instead of specific letters. AutoCorrect often fails, as a result, the words are capitalized in the middle of the sentence. The keyboard itself is small (much smaller than 8.1).
- Background applications do not work correctly. Everything here is very bad for users, "dummies." When the background setting of the applications is done incorrectly, when the power saving is turned on, the chronophore (alarm) may not ring. In other words, if you turn off background applications, some of them will send push messages.
- Multitasking. In this menu (compared to 8.1) applications are closed for too long. In a compartment with the lack of a “close all” command, this is a little upsetting. When you open this menu, automated rotation of the display becomes unavailable.
- Lock Screen Error. The sensor after unlocking may not light up or light up immediately, the date and time also appear with a delay.
- There is no voice input.
- There is no way to work two SIM cards at once.
So, now about how to install Windows 10 Mobile?
