Nokia’s next firmware to be dubbed ‘Blue for Windows Phone 8.1?

In the next few months, Nokia is expected to release a forthcoming firmware update for their Lumia line. That should be no surreptitious as we're as well expecting an Bone update chosen Windows Phone 8.1. Firmware helps make your phone's hardware amend, and it'southward very specific to your device. The OS though is general. That'south why the Developer Preview Program only gives the OS update, but requires additional firmware updates afterward on to complete the experience.

Os updates and firmware are like Sith, in that location are always 2.

Now, a new video posted by Nokia Russia highlights the current features in Lumia Blackness. That's the firmware that coincides with Update iii. That in and of itself is not news, merely at the very terminate of the video, the vocalization over makes brief mention of the next Lumia update, and even phone call is by name: Nokia Blue.

'Blueish' is the codename for Windows Telephone 8.1 (and other Microsoft services), and so Nokia calling their new firmware 'Nokia Blue' makes a lot of sense. (It's likewise kind of funny, since we have Black and Blue for those two firmwares).

Bold the information is correct, the firmware/OS design will await similar this:

Amber <-> Windows Telephone 8 Update two (aka GDR2)
Lumia Black <-> Windows Phone 8 Update three
Nokia Blueish <-> Windows Phone 8.ane

At that place's nearly a semblance of a pattern there.

So what's in Nokia Blue? That'southward a expert question, and we actually don't know yet.

In the past, firmware like Nokia Blue has "unlocked" some features similar advances to the Glance screen, amend Bluetooth support, improved photographic camera algorithms, Movement Monitor and more. Presumably, in that location could be some avant-garde features in the 8.i Bone update that are taken reward of by newer chipsets institute in the Lumia Icon and Lumia 1520 e.k. ever-on voice recognition. Firmware would be needed there to enable those and other features.

Nosotros're reaching out to diverse sources to confirm the firmware name and any other details. But due to the obviousness of the name and a Nokia video calling it 'Bluish, we're leaning heavily on this. So again, before Lumia Black was Lumia Black it was called Bittersweet Shimmer. Stay tuned.

App folders in Start, new gestures, and more than are coming to Windows xi soon

Microsoft is gearing upwards to release a scattering of new features for Insiders in the Dev Channel on Windows 11, many of which will re-innovate functionality that was missing in the original shipping build of the Bone. It's been ii weeks since the terminal Dev Channel build was released, which got me wondering if anything is going on internally to warrant this pause in build releases.
