Window 10 mobile features?

[Rose640]

Is my Lumia 640 getting all the Windows 10 features since its a budget phone, or at least is it gonna get the majority of them ?

I can't see that anything is missing from my 640. Windows 10 Insider is indeed running very well on it.

You aren't getting continuum that's for sure. That's it really.

Well that continuum made me start saving money for a new laptop, it would be such a shame if we don't get it on 640, it has 1.2 quad core processor and 1 gig of ram so I guess it could carry out the continuum very well.

So, is continuum a hardware issue?

It is, continuum requires new hardware to make it work. Probably something on the gpu or WiFi to make it, Microsoft wouldn't say.

You need a chipset that can drive two displays simultaneously. The only one that on WP is the snapdragon 810 right now.

Well that's disappointing.

The continuum may fail because of heat! Imagine powering your hotel's big flat screen tv/monitor with your new flagship, do some office work, browse the net for an hour and finally get carried away and play your favorite games for hours!!! Your phone cpu could be fried...no ventilation inside the phone!!

Saying it will be fried is exaggerating a bit. If a snapdragon 800 can handle big games with ease then an 810 should be able to multitask between the game and another (less intensive app).
