The Verge confirms that Microsoft is working on 2 high-end Lumias
Table of contents:
This Saturday they already told us on Xataka Móvil about the leak of more information regarding the new high-end Lumias, or flagship phones , which Microsoft prepares for this year. And now, thanks to Tom Warren of The Verge, we have more certainty that those leaked features are correct."
The leaks talk about 2 new devices, whose code names for now would be Cityman and Talkman (as well as the code names of the Lumia 735/830 were Superman and Tesla at the time).Their final names will probably follow the same logic as the rest of the Lumia range.
Of these 2 teams, the biggest and most powerful would be Cityman, which also seems to be a successor to the Lumia 1520 (Lumia 940 XL?). Cityman would offer us a 5.7-inch QHD (2560x1440 pixels) screen, accompanied by 3 GB of RAM, a 20-megapixel camera (which will probably include some innovations), and an octa-core Qualcomm processor.
To the delight of many, the Cityman's back cover will be removable, allowing the user to replace the battery and add a microSD card up to 128GB , in order to expand the 32 GB of internal storage. And also The Verge confirms that Cityman will have support for the new function Continuum for phones, presented by Microsoft in the recent BUILD 2014.
Those who prefer a not-so-big phone (which is not to say small either) will have Talkman as an option. This Lumia will also have a QHD screen, but at 5.2 inches, and will be equivalent in all other specifications, except for the processor, which will include a Qualcomm chip of only >. "
Both phones are also expected to have a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, like the one on the Lumia 535/735, and a triple-LED flash on its rear camera.
News are also expected in the low range, a Lumia 440?
Given the focus that the company is having on the affordable segment of the market, it is to be expected that the launch of new flagships will also be accompanied by new equipment of less than 200 Dollars.
In WMPowerUser they give us clues in that direction, by revealing the existence of a new 4.7-inch phone, whose official name is RM-1127 , and whose price would be quite low, since the cost of its components would be equivalent to only 71 dollars.
Taking these data into account, and that the 540 and 640 ranges have already been announced, it is likely that this device corresponds to a hypothetical Lumia 440. Although such a statement is already in the field of speculation.
What do you think of these possible new devices? Would you like to see some Lumia 940, 940 XL and 440 with the mentioned characteristics ?
