The history of Windows Phone: from Windows Mobile to the present day

Windows 10, mobile version and innovations
The most relevant news at the moment in the Windows Phone ecosystem is the expected release of the Windows 10 operating system next year.
No wonder it is said in the singular: this OS will be the same for all gadgets, from a smartphone to a desktop.
That is, the current division of Windows into Windows and Phone will become a thing of the past.
Formally, the new OS will be called Windows 10 Mobile (for now), and its priority in terms of synchronization is an expanded set of synchronized content and functions, universal applications (that is, for the mobile and desktop versions), the ability to connect gadgets to an external display, using a smartphone as a PC with mouse and keyboard support.
The minimum requirements for the system are similar to those for Windows Phone 8, including screen resolution, RAM and processor frequency.
Support for new Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, including 64 bit ones, will also be added.
As for the interface, it is already known (and most of them are already shown in Preview versions) that support for background images under tiles, the ability to stretch tiles vertically, a new Office Mobile, a new design of context menus, a Notification Center fully synchronized with the desktop version, a new File Explorer for navigating through files, a new default application for the camera; a calculator combined with an application for converting some units into others, LED notifications for applications, an increased threshold for enabling battery saving mode, and so on, and so on.
Because it is easier to say that something has not been updated, since almost everything will be updated: there will be either new applications or a significant update of the current one.
The first technical Preview of the new OS was released on February 12 of this year, it is available for some Nokia/Microsoft Lumia and HTC One M8 gadgets.
News for owners of smartphones on Windows Phone 8
Fortunately, devices running on Windows Phone 8.1 will indeed be able to upgrade to the "tens", and this is the official position of Microsoft.
The only "but" - some functions of the devices may differ depending on the gadget.
But the fact that the update will be released (no, everything will not be "like with Windows Phone 7") is already a well known fact.
Which is also supported by the fact that on some devices (see above), upgrading to Windows 10 Mobile is already possible and new "chips" can already be tried on them.
Conclusion
Formally, the history of Windows Phone does not end there.
Yes, this operating system will get a new name with the release of Windows 10 Mobile, but in fact it will still be the "good old" Windows Phone, to which all smartphones with the current Windows Phone 8.1 will be able to update, regardless of whether you have Update 2 installed or not – in this case, it is secondary in every sense.
Therefore, it is worth waiting for the release of a new OS, which will open a new chapter in the history of mobile operating systems from Microsoft.
