The biggest news this past week was the release of Windows 10 Mobile build 10581 to the fast ring. Microsoft was promising a new Windows 10 Mobile build the week prior and it finally arrived.
Windows Insiders are able to upgrade directly to build 10581 from not just Windows Phone 8.1, but also on phones running either builds 10549 and 10572. It is a much appreciated change that you don’t have to flash your phone back to 8.1 to be able to upgrade to this latest build.
Build 10581 comes with a number of fixes and known issues, which you can read here. There are no new features for this build, as this release seems concerned primarily with bug fixes and overall performance improvements. You can watch our hands-on video of the new build below.

The folks at AdDuplex have released the statistics for the month of October. The latest report reveals how different Windows Phone handsets are performing in major smartphone markets.

You can read about this right here.
Stay tuned for yet another exciting week of Windows 10 Mobile news.
