Leaked video of Windows 10 for phone reveals transparency slider, Lumia Camera 5.5

Although many Insiders are now using build 10052 for Windows 10 on phone, WPXAP has shown version 12544 in a new hands-on video.

The spring in version number implies many changes, and indeed there are. We take the video for you lot to watch, but nosotros have broken downwards the important parts since yous may not understand everything that is being shown in the video.

Background transparency, new Accent colors

Perhaps the biggest features a slider control for transparency of the background prototype. As expected for Windows 10 desktop, users will be able to dispense the opaqueness of their preferred background image.

Additionally, Microsoft has bumped the number of Accent colour choices from 20 (plus an optional OEM color choice) to 48, giving users a much more fine-grained control over their device colors.

Lumia Camera 5.v

Plainly, Microsoft has a Lumia Camera five.5 in the works, a significant bump from the current five.0 version. Devices like the Lumia 1020 tin can evidently get the super-quick camera launching found on the Lumia 830, Lumia 930 and Lumia 1520. This app is a rather big deal.

Unfortunately, Rich Capture was not revealed to be in this build. This characteristic, however, is likely a limitation of the Lumia 1020's hardware, something that Microsoft has always maintained every bit not existence possible (due to the need for quad-cadre processors for background processing).

New Word and OneNote apps, Store Beta, etc.

A skilful segment of the video reveals the new Word and OneNote apps in detail. Additionally, the Store beta app is shown equally is the new build of Spartan, which matches the PC version.

The Video and Chapters

0:35 – Transparency controls for background images
0:57 – New accent colour choices, upwardly to 48 (previous was 21)
1:07 – New Spartan build 10061
i:27 – New Lumia Photographic camera 5.5 including quick-launch on Lumia 1020. However, at that place does not appear to be support for Rich Capture (likely due to older S4 processor)
1:55 – New Windows Store Beta
2:22 – New call screening and contacts
2:55 – New Word and OneNote apps for Windows 10

No word when Microsoft will discuss these new features. We should remind users that some of this is experimental and may non even make it to the final version of Windows x for release. Nonetheless, information technology should give a good direction of where the company is heading with Windows ten for mobile.
