LED notifications and digital pens on Microsoft phones? With Windows 10 it will be possible

We continue to hear about exciting new things that Microsoft plans to bring to Windows 10 for mobile, the successor to Windows Phone 8.1. Yesterday we already showed you an interface change, revealed by screenshots from windowsmania.pl, which revealed greater consistency with the Windows 10 interface for PCs. And today we'll tell you about a couple more new features, revealed by those same screenshots.

The first of these is support for LED notifications, like those that already exist on BlackBerry and Android.This will allow applications to notify us of events, such as an incoming SMS or a new match on Tinder, by turn on an LED light on the device Of course, this functionality will not be available if the equipment does not have said light.

But precisely for this reason, it is interesting that several users report the presence of a inactive LED light on the Lumia 735, which already has a few months on the market. This would have been corroborated by the images obtained from a disarmed Lumia 735, published by the WMPowerUser blog.

The above would indicate that the Lumia 735 would be one of the few (only?) device(s) that could enjoy functional LED notifications right out of the box when Windows 10 comes out Definitely great news for those who own this phone, or plan to buy one soon.

In addition, in Microsoft Insider they mention a detail that many of us had not noticed in the screenshots, which is the presence of references to digital pencils , which indicates that along with Windows 10, phones with stylus support, like the one that accompanies the Surface Pro, or Samsung's Galaxy Notes, will start coming out.

If we add to this the recent purchase by Microsoft of digital pen maker N-trig, it is reasonable to think that Redmond could be preparing the release of a Lumia phone with a built-in stylus (perhaps a successor to the Lumia 1520, as it's in phablets where these pens make the most sense).

Will we see a Lumia of these characteristics in the coming months? At the moment we don't know, so we can only wait.
