Haven’t got a Lumia phone?
What do I get with the latest update?
New resizable Live Tiles
The iconic Windows Phone experience of Live Tiles really is what makes your Lumia come to life. At a single glance you are up to speed with what’s going on, and with the new start screen your Lumia phone becomes even more about you. That's because now you can fit more tiles on the home screen. Pick the tiles that matter to you most, move them about and resize them as you like – and mix it up by fitting four columns of smaller tiles on your screen to reduce scrolling.
