Microsoft offered us a peek at Windows 10 for phones at a press event last month. Now a few alleged screenshots are providing a closer look.
In one key change, some of the context-sensitive menus seem to be getting tweaked to more closely resemble the ones on the desktop andtablet editions of the new OS, according to photos leaked by Chinese website IT Home, as spotted by the Verge. That's not surprising as Microsoft is specifically gearing up Windows 10 to provide a more consistent environment and experience across PCs, tablets and mobile phones.
Another new option would apparently allow you to split the keyboard in half so you can type with both your right and left hands. That may not be useful on smaller Windows 10 phones but could be handy on bigger devices. The screenshots also reveal a new audio recording app.
The Alarms feature has been tweaked to resemble the universal Windows 10 app. Such apps are designed so they can more easily run across different devices. Microsoft has also moved the voice input to the top of the keyboard.
Windows 10 for desktops and tablets has already been available as a Technical Preview for users to test. Microsoft is slated to roll out a similar preview edition for Windows 10 for phones sometime this month.
