Along with unveiling its new Lumia 930, Lumia 630 and Lumia 635 smartphones which will all ship with Windows Phone 8.1 preloaded, Nokia today announced at Build 2014 that all existing Windows Phone 8 Lumia devices will be updated to the new version of Microsoft’s operating system later this year. The update will be known as Lumia Cyan.
Windows Phone 8.1 introduces more details at-a-glance through Live Tiles, one easy swipe to important notifications with Action Center, faster ways to connect and type with Word Flow and, starting in the US, a personal and proactive virtual assistant called Cortana. In addition, the Windows Phone 8.1 enterprise pack means existing Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices will become better business phones.
Much as it did with Lumia Black earlier this year, Nokia will include not only Windows Phone 8.1 but enhancements to Nokia’s own apps as well in Lumia Cyan. Among them will be enhancements to the camera roll and Creative Studio as well as an updated Nokia Storyteller app.
The update will begin to roll out to existing Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices this summer. Additional details are not yet available but we’ll bring them to you as soon as we have them.
