Besides, the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 was expected to support a couple of hardware features including support for 2K resolution display and quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor.

According to the new disclosure, these changes in the Update 2 will come along with the preview version of Windows Mobile 10.
