In recent months, many leaks and rumors have come to light regarding the flagships or flagship phones that Microsoft will launch on the market in the next few months. Some of them are even contradictory, which should make it clear to us that not all the information circulating out there is reliable or accurate.
But of course, that doesn't mean that all the leaked information is false either. There are always media and sources with a better reputation and reliability than others. Windows Central is one of them, and for this reason it is interesting that they have just published a complete report with what they say is true information regarding high-end Lumia futures
According to Windows Central, where they claim to have corroborated this data with multiple reliable sources, the specifications of the terminals would be the following:
Talkman (Lumia 950, successor to the Lumia 930)
- White or black matte finish, made of polycarbonate
- 5.2-inch WQHD (1440x2560) OLED display
- Snapdragon 808 processor, 64-bit Hexa core
- Iris reader, designed to work with Windows Hello
- 3GB RAM
- 32GB internal storage, with microSD slot
- 20MP PureView Rear Camera
- 5MP Front Camera
- Removable 3000 mAh battery
- Qi Wireless Charging Stand
- USB Type-C
Cityman (Lumia 950 XL, successor to the Lumia 1520
- Matte finish, black or white, made of polycarbonate
- 5.7-inch WQHD (1440x2560) OLED display
- Snapdragon 810 Processor, 64-bit Octa core
- Iris reader, designed to work with Windows Hello
- 3 GB RAM

- 20MP PureView rear camera with triple LED flash
- Aluminum Side Buttons
- 5MP Front Camera
- Removable 3300 mAh battery
- Qi Wireless Charging Stand
- USB Type-C
According to Windows Central, the name of these terminals has not yet been decided.Talkman and Cityman are just codenames intended for internal use, but at the same time, Microsoft has not yet made the decision to skip the x40 series entirely and name them as Lumia 950 and 950 XL. In other words, it is still possible that these teams go on the market as using the number 940 It is a subject that is still being debated within Redmond. "
Lumia 950 XL, with Surface Pen-Style and Smart Cover
According to the same sources that confirm the specifications above, the Lumia Cityman>digital pen, almost identical to the Surface, which will serve to take notes on the screen, and asmart case with a circular hole that will allow you to see the time, who is calling, and other types of incoming notifications."
The accessory to use Continuum will cost $99
Windows Central is also reporting an accessory, codenamed Munchkin , with a USB-C port that will will enable Continuumon future high-end Lumias.
Not many more details are given about it, but presumably it will include several output ports for display, mouse and keyboard, and Bluetooth to connect those and other peripherals wirelessly.
Yes, the sources speak of an estimated price of 99 dollars. Something very reasonable if we think that it enables the phone to function almost like a complete PC.
Another interesting detail is that the ordering of the side buttons will change a bit. The power button will go in the middle of the volume up and volume down buttons, separated from them by a small space. The dedicated camera button will remain.
In addition, the back of the phones will no longer have the name of Microsoft written on it, but will only show the icon of its logo (the 4 squares, which are also shown on the back of the Surface 3 ).
Lumias 550, 750 and 850: canceled for now
Finally, and after giving us hope with information about the high-end Lumias, the sources of Windows Central disprove the launch of the low-end Lumia and media that we mentioned a few hours ago, and whose specifications were filtered by WMPowerUser.
These teams, known internally as Honjo, Saana, and Guilin, were canceled due to internal restructuring recently announced by Satya Nadella. In any case, there is a lower-middle-range team whose development continues. This is Saimaa, a Lumia that would belong to the 6xx range, and that would be launched at the beginning of 2016 to replace the current Lumia 640.
