Microsoft Lumia 950



Microsoft unveiled a new version of its operating system last year breaking the mould and skipping ahead right to the number 10.
Windows 10's main aim was to connect its ecosystem of devices using the same apps across desktop, tablet, smartphones and even its own Xbox One.
All Microsoft devices from now on are likely to run with a certain version of Windows Phone 10 installed, even the mega exciting Microsoft HoloLens reportedly runs in conjunction with the OS.
Windows 10 was made available at a press event before allowing our friends over atTechRadar Pro to have a go on it, but that was mostly with the desktop version of the system. This is primarily for the mobile version, yet there is a little crossover as both platforms are so closely interconnected.
Microsoft shared some more details of the platform at MWC 2015 by revealing any device currently running Windows Phone 8.1 will be upgradeable to Windows Phone 10 by the end of the year.
We managed to get a bit of hands-on time with the developer version of Windows Phone 10 at MWC.
The biggest change I found in Windows Phone 10 is the look of the OS. Each page has a translucent background meaning if you place an image as your background it'll follow you through whilst not being too distracting from the content in front.
