Microsoft ups allowable Windows 10 Mobile screen size to nearly nine inches

JMH · May 22, 2016

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.
