What will we see at the next Microsoft event on October 6?

The next Microsoft event that will take place on Tuesday, October 6, marks the return of Windows Phone to the high-end of products . Let's remember that the last time we saw a product with these characteristics was the Nokia Lumia 930, back in early April 2014.

And there are many expectations at this event, both because of our desire to see a high-end product with the Microsoft operating system and because of the official presentation of Windows 10 for smartphones.

But we don't just have smartphones at this event, as there is also talk of a new Surface Pro that would follow the same winning idea as the Surface Pro 3, a new Microsoft Band 2, accessories, and more.

Microsoft Lumia 950, 950XL, and 550

These would be the new smartphones to be presented by Microsoft. And we are sure that these will be revealed, since many leaks have come out of these in recent days.

These terminals, obviously, would be focused on the high-end range, since we are talking about generous 5.2 and 5.7-inch screens with resolution at 2K respectively, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB RAM, top-of-the-line cameras and more.

Then we have the Microsoft Lumia 550, another smartphone that has had several leaks in recent companies. As its number indicates, is a low-end terminal with Windows 10,and has a 5-inch screen at 720p, a Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor at 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, and a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED Flash and a 2-megapixel front camera.

These terminals will undoubtedly be the most important guests of the event, so we hope they will present it at the end.

Surface Pro 4

After a great season with the Surface Pro 3, where Microsoft seems to have hit the nail on the head with what the public is looking for (and with other companies following in their footsteps), Microsoft wants to bring a renewed version of this device to sweeten the mouths of consumers.

On this product we don't have so many details regarding the specifications, but there are rumors that the screen size could increase to 14 inches. Some say it could come in two sizes.

In addition to that, the new Skylake processors from Intel are also expected to be included, which would increase the performance of the Surface Pro.

Microsoft Band 2

Another of the devices that we hope to have new is the Microsoft Band, Microsoft's smart bracelet that will now have a second version that would aim to be launched in more regions.

Feature-wise, it is expected to have a slimmer design and more comfortable to use. On the other hand we would have a curved screen, and inside it is said that it would load a version of Windows 10 for “Internet of Things” (IoT).

The last thing that came from this device is a photograph –the one shared at the beginning of this section– that shows slight changes in its design.

Various accessories

A few days ago there was a rumor that the Microsoft Lumia 950 could have a similar price to the iPhone 6S. But this would be so because it would come included with various accessories.

It is not yet known which ones, but there is talk of the possibility that it comes with the Continuum Dock, a device that would allow us to manage our smartphone as a laptop. There is also talk of a new version of the Nokia Treasure Tag, speakers, and a Miracast receiver.

What's new in Windows 10 for mobile

Although all of these new smartphones will come with Windows 10, many surely want to know when they will be able to upgrade their smartphones to this new operating system.

We hope that during the event we can find out, at least, the date to download Windows 10 and compatible smartphones. Remember that Microsoft's idea is to bring Windows 10 to all Lumia.

Conclution

It will undoubtedly be a relevant event for Microsoft because it will mark its next strategy to compete in the smartphone market.

Let's remember that the event will be on Tuesday, October 6, that is, next week.

What are you looking forward to the most from this event?
