Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Prototype Leaked
While the spec sounds great, the real pull of the new Lumia phones will be Windows 10, which will nearly certainly be pre-installed on the two devices.
Windows 10 is rolling out now to PCs, laptops, and hybrid devices the world over, but Microsoft’s latest attempt to crack the mobile market is slightly behind schedule.
With all the attention now fixated at Windows 10 Mobile after the launch of Windows 10 for desktops last week, Microsoft is taking its time to roll out any new build to the Insider members.
The device, with a 5.7-in. display, will reportedly be announced in September or October alongside the Lumia 950, with a 5.2-in. display. With only a handful of people getting a free pass on the charge, sadly, for many Windows users this will actually seem like a good deal.
It’s also got a USB Type-C port, and it’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset aided by 3GB of RAM.
As mentioned above, Microsoft is also working on a smaller variant known simply as Lumia 950.
Meanwhile, Microsofts upcoming model, Lumia 950 XL smartphone images have leaked online. It’s also said to pair its PureView camera with a triple-LED flash, and use an iris scanner and a Surface Pen.
Although Microsoft has not yet announced when Windows 10 will be rolled out, reports have emerged saying it will be out by November.
We have been told along the Windows 10 development process that the flighted testing through these rings would be the norm for any prospective updates to the OS. The company went to target the bottom of the pyramid market with very low cost and affordable Lumia phones.
Additionally, Microsoft clarified today that Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), a Microsoft patching tool typically used for large deployments, is being updated this month along with System Center to “to ensure compatibility with Windows 10″. Few days into the launch, Microsoft recorded over 14 million users, who were attracted to get a feel of the new operating system.
