New hands-on video shows Windows Phone 8.1 on a Nokia Lumia 630 developer device

With Windows Telephone 8.1 just days abroad from existence announced, the floodgates are starting to open up for leaks near Microsoft'south new major OS update. This forenoon, a new video originally found on YouKu, the pop Chinese video hosting service, and published by the site Coolxap, has been released.

The video, like many leaks, is of abysmal quality, and information technology was originally shot vertically. We managed to rip the video and reorient it, so it's easier to spotter. See it after the break...

So what exactly are we looking at? The device in question is definitely a Nokia Lumia 630. There are many clues that give it away, including the 5 MP photographic camera on the back with no flash, the rear speaker in the lower right corner and placement of the volume and power buttons on the right. Seeing equally the phone is matte blackness, and there's petty flare on the forepart, there'southward simply non much to look at with this phone.

Looking at the Bone itself, it's a seemingly current build of 8.i with virtual keys on the front of the device, as noted on the Lumia 630 hardware. Some other features observed in the video include:

Action center
New Podcast app
New FM Radio app, pulled out of Music hub
Video and Music Xbox apps separated into 2 apps
New Store layout, as we recently reported
IE changes, including new Tab section, private tabs
IE tabs are displayed in multitask view
Pull downwardly to close apps in multitask
New stock Photos app, with sections All, Albums, Favorites now on separate panels
New stock camera layout
Apps that are installed on the device: Storage Sense, Bombardment Sense, Data Sense

While the video and OS are in Chinese, nosotros tin can confirm its authenticity. Surprisingly, the vox-assistant app Cortana is not revealed on the video, which may suggest this is either an older build of the OS that feature won't ship on Chinese versions of the OS initially – we're betting on the latter, unfortunately, due to the time required for language localization.

To wrap up, there is non much revealed every bit new in this video, simply since many of you lot are yearning to see information technology in action, at that place you become.
