Windows Phone 10 Launch Reportedly Set For Q2

Windows 10 Launch Date




More good news! Kind of explains why Microsoft has paused releasing flagship phones. Word is that Windows Phone 10 launch could take place sooner than what was expected earlier.


This, of course, follows a report earlier today that the first devices powered by this new operating system might be here by May this year.


In any case, no longer are people claiming fall 2015 launch date for Windows Phone 10.


Sure, the following information still comes via unofficial sources, but there is talk that the mobile OS is headed for a launch in the second quarter of the year — Microsoft has actually hurried development of Windows Phone 10 in order to bring the new version to market as soon as possible.


This actually is one of the reasons why Redmond wants to push the preview builds to interested users right after the January 21 event.


There’s more.


The report also claims that Microsoft is planning to use the upcoming Mobile World Conference in March to showcase the first devices running Windows Phone 10. MWC 2015 just suddenly got all that more special.


Redmond is rushing things out and wants to position some new high-end Lumia smartphones against the iOS and Android offerings.


None of this is confirmed, obviously, but something like this is not exactly out of the ordinary. Technically, Microsoft could cut down on some features and get Windows Phone 10 (along with a bunch of new devices powered by it) out sooner.


They can always be added in via updates later down the road.
