Despite forecasting a rollout of the Windows 10 smartphone update in December several months ago, Microsoft now says the upgrade will take place next year on select devices.
Although no particular devices suitable to the upgrade have been confirmed by Microsoft, The Verge reports that handsets will need to be equipped with a minimum of 8 GB of storage. In the meantime, the first smartphones to run on Windows 10 are the recently launched Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.
"This November we introduced Windows 10 to phones including brand new features such as Continuum and Universal Windows Apps with the introduction of the Lumia 950 and 950 XL. The Windows 10 Mobile upgrade will begin rolling out early next year to select existing Windows 8 and 8.1 phones," said a Microsoft spokesperson.
The Windows 10 Mobile operating system includes a number of functions including Universal Windows Apps and enhancements to the messaging and photo applications.
