Microsoft India on Monday confirmed
that all Lumia smartphones running
Windows Phone 8.1 will get Lumia Deni
update by the end of this month.
Replying to users on Twitter, the
company noted that Lumia Denim updat
for Lumia 520 is already available in
India, "and will roll out to all Lumia
smartphones running Windows Phone
8.1 by the end of this month."
Although the announcement seems for
India only - as it came from Microsoft's
India Twitter account - it is likely that th
same is applicable for other regions as
well.
The Lumia Denim update includes the
Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1, which
brings features such as Cortana, Live
folders, Apps Corner, SMS merge and
forwarding, Snooze Times, Consumer
VPN, and Internet Explorer improvements.
The update also adds certain exclusive
features to Lumia devices, such as
bringing the Lumia Camera app to select
devices (Lumia 930, Lumia Icon, Lumia
1520, Lumia 830), and other camera
improvements, apart from the Glance
screen, and Hey Cortana voice activatio
(only on Lumia 930 and Lumia Icon).
Last week, Microsoft released a preview
of Windows 10 for phones , the
forthcoming major update to its OS for

Windows 10 Technical Preview for
phones supports limited number of
devices including the Lumia 630, Lumia

and provide your feedback to help make
this the best release ever-because it's th
one made for you."
