A recent International Business Times report talks about all the Windows 10 features that were discussed at the WinHEC (Windows Hardware Engineering Community) that was held in the previous month. It states Windows 10 will include plenty of new features such as support for 4K video shooting, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi HotSpot 2.0, improved audio experience on Bluetooth, NFC, customisable battery saver feature, new sensors for activity tracking, temperature, heart rate, UV and more.

The first Windows 10 build only supported six Lumia devices. However, Microsoft has officially confirmed that the next build will bring support for more than 30 Lumia smarpthones. As of this writing, Microsoft has not revealed the release date of the next Windows 10 Mobile build. However, the official blog post that was published last week states that it would take at least one more week to release the next preview build. So, Microsoft is likely to release it in this week.
