Windows 10 for Phone Build 10051 Tour

The good news is that Microsoft is offering the ability to support a wider range of Windows phones, including:

Unfortunately, this build has some scaling issues with the Lumia 930 and Lumia 640XL, making the UI very small and unusable. These two devices are therefore not supported in build 10051.

In the latest build, the company is introducing a number of new apps, including new Mail and Calendar, Phone and Messaging, People, Maps, and updated app switcher apps. In addition, Build 10051 also includes a preview version of the Project Spartan web browser, which uses the new rendering engine of the desktop version of the browser.
