Microsoft is prospected to launch the Windows 10 Mobile OTA update at the end of February, and a set of Lumia flagship smartphones are going to get upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile.
Currently, the fresh Lumia 650, Lumia 550, Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are the only phones that come preloaded with Windows 10 Mobile. Other Lumia devices either run on Windows 8.1 for phones or a preview version of the Windows 10 Mobile.
According to MS Power User, the Redmond giant will start rolling out the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade on Feb. 29. All smartphones currently running on Lumia Denim and Windows Phone 8.1 are eligible for the upgrade, except for some unsupported Lumia devices. Although Microsoft is going to release the update on a specific date, all the devices will not be capable of receiving the upgrade at the same time.
The first set of devices that will be receiving the update include Lumia 430, Lumia 435, Lumia 532, Lumia 535, Lumia 540, Lumia 634, Lumia 640, Lumia 735, Lumia 830 and Lumia 930, Mobi Picker reported. While there are rumors of other upcoming partners like Xiaomi and OnePlus, Microsoft has not yet confirmed any other hardware partners for the Windows 10 Mobile OS. However, in the near future, there is a possibility of them surfacing.
The Redmond giant had communicated in mid-2015 that it would be releasing the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade for the eligible devices by December the same year. Nevertheless, the company did not manage to keep its promise and the process got rescheduled to the eve of this year.
Since then, an employee from Microsoft Mexico has disclosed that the software update will be available by Feb. 29 although there has not been any official confirmation on the issue from Microsoft. The source, however, is deemed to be reliable since they had revealed information concerning Lumia 950 and 950 XL two weeks before their unveiling.
Following the fact that Windows Phone did not see the success that Microsoft had hoped, there has been much unease about the Windows 10 Mobile as well. This time, Microsoft may as well push its way through the limits to partner with more hardware companies in order to see the success of Windows 10 Mobile.
