Microsoft has accidentally listed two new Lumia flagships on its online store. The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are both listed as unlocked models, with confirmation of some of the leaked specifications. Microsoft lists the Lumia 950 as a 5.2-inch handset with a 20-megapixel camera and 32GB of storage. While the larger Lumia 950 is 5.7 inches with the same camera and storage.
Microsoft is expected to announce both handsets at a special Windows 10 event in New York City next week. Previously leaked photos and specifications of the devices also reveal that Microsoft's new Lumias will support a Continuum feature to turn them into PCs, and Windows Hello to unlock the phones with just your face. Microsoft's Lumia 950 XL is also rumored to include support for the Surface Pen, alongside a new smart cover that has a circular cut out for easy access to notifications. Both devices are expected to include support for USB Type-C and Qi wireless charging.
It's clearly early and embarrassing for Microsoft to spoil its own announcement, but check back at 10AM on October 6th for full live coverage of the company's Windows 10 event from The Verge.
Look like nice phones. . .
I’m getting the 950XL as soon as it comes out.
No accident. They’ll get more attention with a ‘leak’ than just an announcement.
That technology is old. Some people are able to stop clocks with their face now.
There's a black man with a black cat
Livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate
Runnin' through his front yard
You know he thinks that he's got it so good
And there's a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
And he looks at her and says, hey darlin'
I can remember when you could stop a clock.
Thanks to Swordmaker for the ping!!
I really like my Windows phone. It’s my favorite phone interface. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have many apps. I only use Netflix and ebay, but there are a couple more that I would like to have.
“Leaked”, my beautress (a little UN lingo).
Intentional leak of course... Its called creating a buzz
