Microsoft had previously promised to
deliver its Windows 10 Mobile update to existing Lumia devices this
month, but the company is delaying its roll out. In a statement,
Microsoft says the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade will now begin early next
year to select devices running Windows Phone 8 and 8.1:
“This
November we introduced Windows 10 to phones including brand new
features such as Continuum and Universal Windows Apps with the
introduction of the Lumia 950 and 950 XL. The Windows 10 Mobile upgrade
will begin rolling out early next year to select existing Windows 8 and
8.1 phones.”
Microsoft
still isn’t confirming which devices will get the upgrade, but the
company previously said “it is our ambition” that the “majority of Lumia
smartphones” get the update. Devices will require 8GB of storage, so
that means some handsets like the Lumia 530 will be left out. Microsoft
released the final version of Windows 10 Mobile alongside its Lumia 950
and Lumia 950 XL launch earlier this month. The software maker now
plans to regularly update the operating system, alongside the PC version
of Windows 10.
