Quite a lot of movement on the Windows 10 for Phones front after Microsoft seeded the first preview version to a select group of internal testers. Expected and quite normal when a thousand people have access to it.
You can read up on how that happened here.
Microsoft, on the other hand, is quite keen on keeping all details secret for the time being, to the point that there is not set date for when the first preview version will be made available for users.
Work on this new mobile OS continues, however, and it has recently been spotted online, revealing a new browser that might be offered with the new operating system.
This post on Reddit has specifics on the user agent string that could be included in the default web browser on Windows 10 for Phones. It is now marked as Android 4.2.1 and using Edge 12.0.
Curiously interesting, as you can see below:
Windows Phone, as you may well be aware is set to debut with a new browser codenamed Spartan. This new solution is also available on the desktop, and it of course, utilizes the new Edge rendering engine on both platforms.
Redmond is expected to keep Internet Explorer as the online choice in this first preview build that is set for debut in around a week or two from now. Joe Belfiore said at the January 21 event that Spartan could be released, three, four, even five months from now.
But as the logs show, it is being tested, as Microsoft rushes to complete development of this brand new solution for its upcoming operating platform.
