Microsoft: the Lumia 532 is Windows 10 ready

Microsoft last week announced two new entry-level Windows Phone 8.1 handsets: the Lumia 435 and Lumia 532, both of which should be released starting February. According to the Redmond company, the Lumia 532 is "Windows 10 ready." While this information isn't visible on the handset's product page, it shows up when you search for the 532 on Google or Bing (as you can see in the screenshot above). More exactly, this is what Microsoft is saying:


Of course, it will be a while before the Lumia 532 is updated to Windows 10, as Microsoft is planning to release the new OS in late summer / early autumn. However, Microsoft's description is somewhat important, as it suggests that Windows 10 will have the same name regardless of the device it's running on.

Meanwhile, there's no mention of Windows 10 when it comes to the Lumia 435. Even so, the 435 will surely also be updated to the new version of the OS (just like all the Windows Phone 8-based Lumia models launched until now, from low-end to high-end ones).

Microsoft will unveil more about Windows 10 tomorrow, January 21, when a laptop-phone hybrid device could be showcased, too.
