In the concept video below, you can observe a customized startup screen similar to Microsoft Surface devices. The lock screen is updated with Live Widgets, Taskbar icons, and Cortana displaying reminders.
Next is the login menu with utility buttons, even though the screen is transitioned from a Windows 10 desktop and holds no significance for mobile devices.
The Start Screen closely resembles its desktop counterpart, featuring Fluent Design, enhanced Live tiles, widgets, multitasking, and the Taskbar at the bottom corner of the screen. Essentially, the concept transfers some features from Windows 10 PCs and mobile devices with a few refinements. The multitasking screen and dynamic images look quite appealing.
In the concept, the showcased demo device is capable of running full Windows 10 apps, suggesting these features may be added to Windows Core OS for mobile phones.
According to reports, Windows Core OS is set to support Andromeda and run on ARM architecture to enhance battery life compared to x86 devices, potentially offering Always Connect capability. The dual-screen design might also allow running Windows desktop applications.
Windows Core OS is designed to adapt the user interface for the device it operates on, regardless of the hardware. The interface can resemble Windows 10 when connected to a keyboard or mouse, delivering a comprehensive PC-like experience.
