If new screenshots posted to the Reddit social network are true, Windows Phone 8.1 a possible update to Windows Phone 8 could now be in testing on a small amount of devices.
The screenshot, taken by a Reddit user who created the Archiver application that’s currently available for download in the Windows Phone Store, depicts a breakdown of what versions of Windows Phone his application has come in contact with.
While those version numbers are completely dominated by code branches of the 8.0 operating system –today’s shipping version of Windows Phone, near the very bottom of the photo is a notation for Windows Phone 8.10.12076.0.
So far, this is the first time that version number has shown up publicly. What makes it more interesting is that this number lines up with the branding that Microsoft’s using on Windows 8.1 or what it had been codenamed Windows “Blue” until Microsoft announced its final branding for the update back in May.
Analytics results from Windows Phone app Archiver that depicts the small scale usage of an operating system reporting it’s self as Windows Phone 8.10
Unfortunately, if it the operating system is in testing, it might not be widespread as the Archiver application has only come in contact with that version of the operating system just twice. The developer hasn’t yet posted any information about a possible time frame for when his application first encountered the operating system.
