Microsoft has been on a preview spree the last couple of weeks. Recently the tech giant released a downloadable preview of the new Office 2016. Now though, after a less than stellar reception of Windows 10 for phones a few weeks ago, Microsoft may be ready to release a preview of an improved build of the OS.
This release was anticipated to reach the Microsoft Insider program last week, but as it turns out, it might happen until this week.
Gabriel Aul, Microsoft‘s General Manager of the OSG Data and Fundamentals team tweeted yesterday about the current status of Windows 10 for phones. Reports talked about build 10080 last week, bringing changes like a transparency slider for live tiles, in addition to the launch of universal Office apps for Windows 10 on smartphones. Mr Aul confirmed yesterday that the build is currently in internal testing, and if all goes well, we should expect the build to reach the Microsoft Insider program later this week.
One of the biggest benefits of this update is that it finally brings support to flagships like the Lumia 930. The Windows 10 OS for phones might just be the make or break element for Microsoft that will lead them to finally gain significant market share in the smartphone industry.
