The latest Windows 10 Mobile brings the Voice based Virtual Assistant Cortana and also the Continuum but this feature requires high-end specifications to provide hassle free experience. We also expect an increase in the number of apps in the Windows Store since one universal app can work on all the Windows 10 devices with different form factors like Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile. It has the latest Microsoft Edge browser that comes built-in with Windows 10 OS.
You can also find changes in the user interface when compared to the Live Tiles on Windows 8.1. Apart from the Lumia, there are few Windows 8.1 based smartphones launched in India like Canvas Win W121, Canvas Win W092, & Xolo Win Q900S. All these three devices come with 1GB of RAM and are powered by Snapdragon 200 quad-core processor. There is information about the Windows 10 Mobile Update for these devices.
