Microsoft Lumia 940, 940 XL Specifications: New Flagships to have Iris Scanner, 2K Screen & More
It's that time of the year when
all major smartphone-making companies launch their masterpiece
flagships to woo the consumers. In similar efforts, Microsoft will be
coming up with two flagship Lumia devices, codenamed Talkman and
Cityman, aimed to take out most rivals in the high-end category.
As widely expected, Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL will run on the latest
Windows 10 OS, Microsoft's latest attempt to unify all platforms under
one roof.
Microsoft is taking a notch higher in the smartphone race as rumours suggest some unseen features to embrace the new flagships. According to a report from Phone Arena,
the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL are said to boast iris-scanning
authentication, the company's new enterprise-grade biometric integrated
into Windows 10.
That's not all, we also have a full spec-sheet of the possible
features that will come in the two new flagships. According to the
sourced sites (WinFuture and DrWindows),
the Talkman is going to be the smaller variant while the Cityman will
feature a bigger display and the handsets will be covered in aluminium
frames and polycarbonate material. Both handsets will replicate the
successful Lumia 830 design, reports suggest.
In addition, Microsoft is also going to add a Type-C connector on
both flagships, a much-needed feature to support Windows 10 for
Mobile's Continuum feature. Other possible specs in the Lumia 940
include a 5.2-inch QHD display, a hexa-core Qualcomm processor, 3GB RAM,
32GB built-in storage with microSD card expansion and a 3,000mAh
