Microsoft quietly changed the specifications for devices running its Windows 10 Mobile operating system by upping the allowable maximum screen size to under nine inches.
It's not clear from
Microsoft's MSDN page when the company made this change, which I saw in a
May 22 report from MSPowerUser.com (and is originally from
NokiaPowerUser).
Until some point recently, the
maximum allowable screen size for Windows 10 Mobile devices was 7.99 inches.
Microsoft also is allowing devices with screens as small as 7 inches to run the Windows 10 desktop operating system. The previous low-end limit for Windows 10 desktop devices was 8 inches for the majority of devices, though
tablets running Windows 10 Pro (only) were allowed previously to be as small as 7 inches.
