Microsoft released its latest Windows 10 Mobile preview build for testers this week as the release date of the Lumia 950 and 950XL, which will run on the OS, inches ever closer. Whether the company is wrapping up its preparations and readying a full release remains unclear, though some think this version could be the final product.
Microsoft pushed the new iteration, Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10586, to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring with general bug fixes and improvements from old builds, according to Gabe Aul, engineering general manager for the Microsoft OS group, in a blog post on the new build.
For instance, this newest build fixed some glitches involving SD cards, including mislabeling SD card names, showing the incorrect storage amount and apps crashing when moved to reside on SD cards. The newest iteration also sees general reliability improvements for loading and resuming apps and games, camera functions and restoring from a backup.
There are still a number of known issues with the build and, as ever, the company asked testers to report glitch discoveries and suggestions.
Some think this new iteration could be the final version that the company pushes to Windows 10 Mobile users. As ZDNet pointed out, the version number 10586 matches the same build number for the final version of the Windows 10 PC and tablet OS that the company released in July.
Microsoft is working quickly – or at least quicker than before – to prepare for the launch of its Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL smartphones. The Redmond-based company has had iffy experiences in the market with its phones in the past, though its latest focus on a unified platform and applications for all devices could see the company fare better.
Further, the general success of Windows 10 in the PC market could help drive interest in the new smartphones. The new PC OS has seen significant adoption in the consumer market, and those numbers can only rise as Microsoft makes a concerted push on enterprises to upgrade as well.
