Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 ανακοινώθηκε για πρώτη φορά τον Μάρτιο στο MWC 2015 στη Βαρκελώνη και σύντομα μετά από την ανακοίνωση, η Microsoft δήλωσε ότι η ενημέρωση θα είναι διαθέσιμη μόνο για τα νέα μοντέλα mobile phones, such as the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL.
Last week, however, rumors that started circulating online suggested that more phones they could get GDR2 in the coming months as Microsoft prepares the way for Windows 10.

Details of which models can receive this update are not yet available but Microsoft has confirmed that Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 is required if you want to obtain Windows 10 for Phones build 10051.
At this time, it seems that too many mobile devices can receive the update, such as Lumia 830 and 930, despite the fact that the latter has not been announced.
