A new article claims, via unnamed sources, to have the hardware specs
and code names for two upcoming Lumia smartphones from Microsoft. The
story says that both devices will use Windows 10 for phone and will launch later this fall.
The story comes from Unleash the Phones, and claims that
both new Lumia smartphones will have 64-bit processors and a triple-LED
flash for the rear camera. The report says one of the phones has the
code name "Talkman". Here are its rumored specs:
- 5.2 inch QHD display
- Qualcomm-based 6 core processor
- 3GB of RAM
- 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot
- 20MP rear camera
- 5MP front facing camera,
- 3000 mAh removable battery
The story says Microsoft is working on an even higher-end Lumia with the code name "Cityman". The report says its specs include:
- 5.7 inch QHD display
- Qualcomm-based eight core processor
- 3GB of RAM
- 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot
- 20MP rear camera
- 5MP front facing camera,
- 3300 mAh removable battery
The story adds that both phones are scheduled for launch in the
second half of 2015. In addition, the report claims that Windows 10 for
phone devices will have a feature where users can take a phone call but
answer it on their PC, and also send SMS text messages from their PC to
other phones.
Keep in mind that this report does not come from an official
Microsoft source on the record so take it with a grain of salt. We have
personally been unable to verify this information and remain skeptical
about all such rumors until the official word comes out.
