Verizon Lumia 822, Lumia 928 Lumia Denim update with Windows Phone 8.1 ready to roll out
Alexandra BurlacuThe Verizon Nokia Lumia 822 and Lumia 928 are set to receive the latest Lumia Denim update with Windows Phone 8.1 very soon.
Microsoft rolled out a Lumia Cyan update a while ago, and in the meantime it also started pushing a new Lumia Denim update to select devices. Windows Phone handsets on Verizon Wireless, however, were left behind and didn't even get the Lumia Cyan update so far.
Verizon users who have been patiently waiting for their Windows Phone handsets to receive an update are now finally in for some good news, as the Lumia Denim update with Windows Phone 8.1 will start rolling out to the Lumia 822 and Lumia 928 in the coming days.
This means that these handsets will skip the Lumia Cyan update and go straight for the latest Lumia Denim, getting all of the goodies the latest software has to offer.
"Here's an early Christmas present to our U.S. readers: if you own a Lumia and you're on the Verizon network, the newest Windows Phone 8.1 upgrade - the super-charged Lumia Denim - is coming to you soon," Microsoft announced in a new post on the rebranded Lumia Conversations blog.
"Yes, that means you'll skip over the previous update, Lumia Cyan, and go straight to Denim!"
The announcement further reveals that the Verizon Lumia 822 and Lumia 928 will start receiving the latest Lumia Denim update with Windows Phone 8.1 "over the next few days." The high-end Verizon Lumia Icon will be the next in line to get the update, but will receive it sometime in early 2015.
The update will bring several notable improvements and new features to the table, including a number of imaging-related enhancements, SMS forwarding, the ability to create folders on the Start Screen by dragging one app over another, Cortana, and more.
As always with new updates, Lumia Denim will roll out gradually, which means that it may take a while to complete its journey. For the Lumia Icon, meanwhile, Microsoft has yet to reveal a more specific rollout date, but should offer more details shortly.
