Leak: Microsoft Windows 10 For Smaller Tablets Shows Killer UI Features Ahead Of Release Date: New Three-Dot Quick Menu Revealed

With the impending Windows 10 release, Microsoft has indicated that the tablets with smaller screen sizes, i.e. below 8 inches, would be running on a different Windows 10 interface. Apparently, the new Windows 10 for smaller tablets will be in line with the Windows Phone UI. Furthermore, the latest Windows 10 leak showcases the never-before-seen version of the upcoming OS.

New Features Of 'Windows 10 For Smaller Tablets'

The Windows-focused site WinBeta has been lucky enough to get a slew of images of the Windows OS specific to smaller tablets. The site also showcased the first impressions of the new software. However, readers should note that the leaked screen grabs of the interface are not the final product version; therefore, the final version could be substantially different from the ones showed in the current leak, BGR notes.

According to WinBeta, “The new Windows 10 apps are designed to scale at almost all screen sizes. When running on Windows 10 tablets, this is no different. Apps like Calculator and Voice Recorder take advantage of the extra real estate, displaying the apps as if they were desktop apps instead of phone apps.”

Furthermore, the Windows 10 for smaller tablets will apparently get easy access to a new quick menu at the bottom right corner of the screen within any app, and this is reportedly represented by three dots. Plus, the listed options in this particular quick menu changes based on which app is being used currently.

Moreover, according to WinBeta, with the Windows 10 on board, small tablet users can connect a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard, thereby “allowing for navigation with a cursor and typing on a keyboard.” Evidently, this particular feature will be beneficial for users that work on-the-go. To top it off, the new Universal Office apps will reportedly be compatible with the Windows 10 for smaller tablets. Therefore, a brilliant editing suite is guaranteed with the upcoming Windows 10.

Meanwhile, the Windows 10 release date is believed to be set for April at Microsoft’s BUILD conference. Windows 10 for smaller tablets has apparently been designed for devices where running a full version of Windows OS is considered as overkill. Therefore, the smaller tablets will reportedly run the new universal Windows apps that run on phones and PCs, but not the desktop apps (win32). Lastly, interested readers can check out the killer Windows 10 screenshots from WinBeta.
