Windows 10 Mobile Update: Microsoft Announces Old Lumia Phones Not Included For Upgrade
Microsoft announced the update to Windows 10 mobile won't be including mobile phones with 512 of RAM. However, users of old Lumia phones can still access the beta version at the risk of instability.
Apparently, Microsoft took note of users' feedback to the Windows 10 mobile update particularly when they commented that the experience didn't meet the expectations.
This wasn't the first time that Microsoft disappointed users, PC World observed, particularly when it announced in November 2014 that all Lumia Windows Phone 8 will avail of the upgrade.
"In January 2015, Microsoft said it would aim to support 'the majority of Lumia phone running Windows 8 and 8.1,' but six months later said the upgrade would only extend to devices running the latest Lumia Denim software," it said.
The Verge has the complete list of Lumia phones that will get the Microsoft Windows 10 mobile update. These are the following:
Lumia 430
Lumia 435
Lumia 532
Lumia 535
Lumia 540
Lumia 635 1GB
Lumia 636 1GB
Lumia 638 1GB
Lumia 640
Lumia 640XL
Lumia 730
Lumia 735
Lumia 830
Lumia 930
Lumia 1520
The user of Lumia wouldn't have reacted so much if Microsoft had been upfront about the Windows 10 mobile update.
"Windows Phone 7 handsets were never upgraded to Windows Phone 8, and Microsoft set the expectation this time that history wouldn't repeat itself," it said. "Another broken promise is bad news for a mobile operating system that is practically dead, and once again Microsoft has angered its small but loyal base of Windows Phone users."
