In the mock - up above , you may see the classic tile layout with a modernised interface that seems inspire by the purpose language ofWindows 11 . There ’s a raw set of app icons that seem pulled directly off a desktop , along with widgets that Microsoft really get down to spearhead on phones and now incorporate into Windows 11 . by nature , you get all the default Microsoft apps that you’re able to get on the screen background , including the Microsoft Store , Calculator , Control Panel . Photos , and others .

A duet of interesting thing to call attention to is that there ’s a dedicatedCopilot appin the mock - up , which would almost certainly be the causa if Microsoft release a Windows phone in 2024 , specially with all the fuss happening aroundGoogle GeminiandApple Intelligence , not to mention the new Copilot+ PCs .
We can also reckon that a Windows Phone in 2024 would have a big productivity slant and incorporate the multitasking and stylus lineament that Microsoft attempted with the Surface Duo andSurface Duo 2 . Then there ’s the gaming side of things — we would n’t be surprised if the theoretic Windows headphone replicate as anXbox Game Pass Ultimategaming handheld , let you stream game on the go . Technically , you could do this on Android and Apple phones already , but it ’s almost certain that Microsoft would have made it a big part of the stigmatization .
Overall , this is a pretty interesting feel at what a Windows headphone might depend like today if Microsoft was still concerned in making them . If you want to take a closer flavour at the mock - ups , they ’re available in high quality onFigma .
