Microsoft Will Soon Introduce an OS For Mobile named As REDSTONE

An internal build of Windows 10 Mobile's next major update, Redstone, has been spotted on Buildfeed and it could be headed to Windows Insiders in the near future.

It hasn't been long since Microsoft delivered the first major update for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile but the company is already busy developing the OS' next update which is expected to roll out next year. According to Buildfeed, the latest Windows 10 Mobile build from the Redstone branch that is being used internally, is 10.0.11082.1000.rs1_release.151210-2021.

Microsoft is currently planning to push regular monthly updates to Windows 10 in the meantime, and the company has already revealed its "Windows as a service" plans that accompany this. Windows 10 will ship this summer, but Microsoft will continue to update it and components that aren’t core to the operating system on a regular basis. As part of those plans, elements like Project Spartan, Microsoft’s new browser for Windows 10, will be updated through the Windows Store to ensure features can make their way to users at a more rapid pace. Microsoft moved a lot of the core features of Windows Phone to this model last year, and it’s something the company is increasingly doing across Windows as a whole.

The Windows Redstone updates won’t be seen as a Windows 11 or Windows 12, but more of a Windows 10.1, with new features added to the core for all difference device types to take advantage of. Microsoft is currently planning to detail more of its HoloLens and Windows 10 development plans at Build later this month, and it’s possible the company may discuss Windows as a service and Redstone. We understand the Redstone name was first used around two months ago inside Microsoft, so it may still be a little early for the company to share its plans.
