Will Your Lumia be One of the First Phones to Get the New Windows 10? Find Out Here!

Windows 10 was finally launched July 29 and a number of users have started downloading the much-anticipated upgrade on their PCs and laptops.

And mobile gadget users are wondering when the same could be done with their Windows phones.

According to Windows Central, Windows 10 Mobile will be arriving first in a select number of Lumia smartphones. This isn't a big surprise, considering the units are made by the same company behind the latest OS update. The first 10 Lumia smartphones to get the over-the-air update are the Lumia 430, Lumia 435, Lumia 523, Lumia 535, Lumia 540, Lumia 640, Lumia 640 XL, Lumia 735, Lumia 830, and the Lumia 930.

"A notable omission is the Lumia 1520, which is a hi-end model that was expected to be among the first representatives of the new mobile Windows," Phone Arena observed. "Also missing from the list are phones with less than 1GB of RAM, such as the good old Lumia 520 and the newer Lumia 630/635."

"However, if Microsoft says that it will update all Windows Phone 8 handsets eventually, it will have to do so for 512MB RAM devices too, as well as carrier exclusives such as the Lumia Icon on Verizon," the site added.

Other Lumia models may be upgraded at a later date. Is your Lumia one of those named in the list?

It has also been reported that the upcoming Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL will be unveiled already equipped with Windows 10. It's been rumored that these handset may be released in the fall this year, as Microsoft officials had said during this year's Mobile World Congress that Windows 10-enabled Lumia smartphones will be shipped later this year, ComputerWorld revealed.

Juniper Research analyst Sam Smith told the tech news source that "the 950 will probably run a 64-bit Snapdragon 808 processor, with the 950XL running a slightly more powerful 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor." The 950, however, may not be able to run the Continuum feature of Windows 10 - something that Smith called a "misstep" for the latest OS version.

"Continuum is the ability to plug a device into a keyboard and use it as you would a desktop, which works toward the universal platform concept that Microsoft has heavily promoted," ComputerWorld explained.

With the growing variety and number of Lumia phones out in the market, it is said that Microsoft, which bought Nokia more than a year ago, will be "reducing the amount of Lumia models they make, resulting in fewer devices needing updates," according to Windows Central.
