The Nokia Lumia series of devices have been around the markets for a long time, and they were the first devices to introduce us to the Windows Phone platform. Microsoft has now released a new update for these age-old devices, which updates most of the Nokia Lumia phones running the Windows Phone 8.1 OS to the Windows 10 Mobile OS.
This has been one of the most awaited updates for the users of these older, Nokia Lumia phones. The update was originally promised to them to arrive back in the December of last year, but after a delay of four months, Microsoft finally released the Windows 10 Mobile OS for the older devices in the month of March.
The update was earlier available only for the users of the Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL, Lumia 550 and Lumia 650 devices.
The Windows 10 Mobile OS update came out for the users of many older Nokia Lumia phones such as Lumia 1520, 930, 640, 640XL, 730, 735, 830, 532, 535, 540, 635 1GB, 636 1GB, 638 1GB, 430, 435, BLU Win HD w510u, BLU Win HD LTE x150q, and the MCJ Madosma Q501 devices.
There has been quite a controversy over this selective release as the users of other popular devices such as the Lumia 520, Lumia 1020 and Lumia 1320 are upset that their devices have not received this update. Microsoft has explained why this selective release was made in their blog, saying:
"This list includes a limited set of Windows Phone 8.1 devices and does not include some devices that are currently running Windows 10 Mobile in the Windows 10 Mobile Insider program. As Windows 10 delivers significant new innovations, many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience. Our goal is to only offer the Windows 10 upgrade to devices that we are confident can continue to deliver a good customer experience," the company said.
