Windows 10 Tech-Preview for Phones


Till today Window 10 will have became known among youth. The next iteration of Microsoft’s OS to create a unified experience across all devices that will be inhabited at the end is its main aim. Several preview builds for computers have already been released through Microsoft and new Window 10 is available for phones you will be highly excited to install this device in your phone but don’t perspire it. I have got a phone for job a Lumia 630, which happens to be one of the few compatible devices this time. So let us take a look what is new and wonderful in it.

The New Stuff

New Lumia 630


For making user friendly it has been designed partially on philosophy and rests on idea of cohesive design. The size of screen is not important. This disposition has had little effect on mobile, at least what we have already experienced and will not repeat Live Tiles still populate the home screen like window 8.1. Since then it has proved the best thing about windows phone especially after the click addition of folder support.

Personalisation

Review of window 10 shows that Live Tiles larger or a huge square or a vertically oriented rectangle can be made now in people panel. May be the large files will be able to pump more and different types of content to your home screen. Cortana Tile can also produce huge square for more news headlines & notifications.

Notifications


Slight change in personalization in home screen is also shown through it. In Window 8.1 the background image remains visible through certain Live Tiles with black and white board in panel. In Windows 10 image becomes the background by filling borders around live tiles and peeping through the semi-transparent images. It is just different and will be introduced in a later build.

The minor change to the hidden app list to the right of home screen in Window 10 also sits above the new background image alphabetically organized catalogue is a new section in recently downloaded apps. You can clean downloaded apps at your will and it helps to track down apps you have just install. If it comes you want to get rid of it but currently there is no way to present it now you know the kind you might be it frequently without the need of dedicated live tile.

Quick Setting & Interactive Notifications


Interactive Notifications


The addition of action centre was the biggest improvement of Window 8.1. It is like to put down menu you find on Android by selecting the setting shortcuts above a notification drawer. The problem is having few slots for setting which are not enough for change but this limitation has been addressed in Window 10 previously. Now you can access six more quick setting and also jump into the main setting menu. As only four original slots are open to customization and I rarely need to engage rotation lock or VPN in my phone so the new quick setting are useless to me.

Various typed of notifications are become interactive on upgraded action centre. Now an alarm can be dismissed and direct reply to a text without notification is possible. We can read notices before it come in notification drawer you can answer it within the alert itself which is not possible in E-mail. It would be wonderful to see it on board. Imagine approaching updates, liking photographs, reply on twitter etc within all form of notification. Less clicking, less fuss, less time.

In Window 10 you will be able to dismiss a notification in your desktop and it will disappear from your phone’s action centre too. It cannot be said that this can be possible to implement in the technical preview for phones.

Broader Text-to-Speech Support


Text-to-Speech


In Window 10 preview you can speak to almost every text entry field with the help of little microphone appears above the keyboard. It even works for text entry fields on websites you can get it work elsewhere though it is limited to VS users. Microsoft works to improve its virtual assistant for Window 10. It has limited Cortana to understand English in this early preview build. Some speech recognition resources are used to power the broaden speech to text feature it proved that one get around that by tricking the phone into thinking he was in U.S. We need to change a couple of region and language settings. (It was said that it was available for English user but not enabled on 630 when tested).

New settings menu and other core app changes with the help of redesigning of setting menu, we can track setting down move easily in Window 10. In Window 8.1 the setting app is an utter mess due to the 50 different category with featureless list but in Window 10 it has been reduced to in nine sections in most manageable way with express category catching setting that don’t fit  anywhere else. Due to the little icon and titles one can easily find his required thing. Microsoft also moved to a smaller, softer font which is fitted into one screen. No scrolling required but there is confusion if you look for sub menus. Once you find the specific setting you want to change and something is also faced in Window 8.1 but settings app will support consistent design in future builds and became easier to navigate.


New Setting Menu


The redesigning setting app gives us an idea of simplifying the parts in Window 10 for phones, photos by using more accessible fonts. For example keyboard is now smaller than island layout of Window phone 8.1 you have now scientific and programmer made which can change anything practically.

New Apps and Simplifying Design


New Apps


Photos is the first app for Window 10 featured in the preview for phones that’s universal. Meaning it looks and behaves like its desktop counterpart. In Window 10 the main gallery is populated by on device images and those stored on one drive it is not completely finished. The little menu button at the top left hand comes is the most interesting thing it speaks how Microsoft is simplifying the user experience to keep him focused what is on the display.

Miscellany

The change that has been noticed is the addition of a joystick to the keyboard. It is a kind of virtual version of the mouse nub you’ll find on ThinkPad laptops; it lets you move the cursor in a text, entry field without having to obscure it with your thumb. It is a simple change.

Missing


Lumia 630


Apart from a lot of new changes in Window 10 apps there is a long list of changes and features is still waiting to be implemented one thing which is difficult to predict is the impact of universal apps for Window 10. In theory the developers need to create one thing that will run on everything from PCs to phones to the XBOX one but they will still need to tailor it for different hardware configurations and display sizes. So many changes will be shown by Window 10 but still we aren't sure what part phones will play in the equation. Obviously a new app is in the works but the only details we really get from promo footage is that it will keep you better connected with your programme. It has introduced a brand new learner browser currently code name ‘Project Spartan’ with Cortana integration and a focus on clipping etc but i.e. for now is not included.

Windows 10 will combine comms from various services into single threads but we will have to wait to see what other messaging services Microsoft can bring into the fold.

Try this at Home

Microsoft warns that unexpected crushing could corrupt or straight up wipe file, so backing up your data is highly recommended. The messaging and dialler apps do not include dual SIM support messaging is missing a number of features so there is plenty of known potentially troublesome bugs. Now the majority of Lumias running Window 8.1 will be upgraded to the consumer ready version of Window 10 and take releases of technical preview will support additional handsets. If you have a device once that list the first thing to do is register for the Windows Insider Program. Then remain prepared for to keep the phone to be more or less out of action while it completes the long update process.


Microsoft is keen for everyone to try out this preview build as Window 10 preview for phones include a built in feedback app so you can report bugs and provides other feedback straight from  your phone. You can launch the app from anywhere by pressing button now let us know what you think about it. Have fun!
