Evidence points to Microsoft work on 5.7-inch Windows Phone handset

Microsoft’s mobile efforts stand to get pretty exciting over the next few months. Not only do we have the formal commercial release of Windows 10 Mobile to look forward to, but the arrival of new hardware running Windows 10 out of the box. 



And for a platform that’s been sorely in need of some fresh handset blood (and maybe not just in the midrange budget space, for a change), that’s pretty tantalizing. But just what sort of phones can we expect? We’ve heard a few theories, and today we pick up some fresh evidence to help steer our imagination, as a 5.7-inch Windows Phone pops up in an import database.

Several entries dating over the course of the past week mention the importation of 5.7-inch smartphones from Finland (home of Nokia) to India for testing. And while there’s no mention of Windows Phone directly, the identification in similar listings of Microsoft hardware sure makes it likely we’re looking at the company’s own mobile platform.

There’s not a lot of extra hardware information available in this listing, though we do see that both single and dual-SIM versions of the hardware appear to exist. With stated customs values of what works out to around $600 a pop, this doesn’t appear to be another mid-ranger, either – something to be extra excited about. And while the ultimately designation of the handset may be up in the air (speculation has suggested a possible ID as the Lumia 840 XL or 940 XL), that it’s in development at all is looking pretty darn certain.

Nothing Phone 2: There's something in marketing gimmick

Nothing Phone 2 Squabble: Nothing priced its first phone (Nothing Phone) at 32,000 on July 12, 2022. The phone was distinct because to its glyph light feature and distinctive operating system. Nothing has also developed Nothing EAR (TWS), a Landon-based firm that has sold over 1 million units worldwide as of the end of 2022. Here is our whole Nothing Phone 2 review. Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing Nothing Technology Limited (stylized as NOTHING), has introduced Nothing Phone 2, and people are discussing his marketing techniques rather than his products. They implement a twofold embargo for artists; it appears that they are encouraging influencers to engage in dark marketing. Mr. Rakesh, alias Gyan Therapy, made a video opposing the embargo while everyone else was busy fluffing it.  So, following the contentious embargo, I've discovered two major reasons to avoid Nothing Phone 2: 1. Expensive Pricing: The Nothing Phone 2 costs roughly 45,000 INR, which is 5,000 INR higher than the Oneplus ...
