Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL Briefly Listed on Microsoft Store

Ahead of Microsoft's October 6 event, where the company is expected to finally reveal the new Cityman (Lumia 950) and Talkman (Lumia 950 XL) Windows 10 Mobile-powered devices, the Microsoft Store listed the two smartphones briefly.

Spotted first by a Twitter user, the Microsoft Store (now pulled down) showed the Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL unlocked versions listed in "Windows 10 Ready Phones" page. According to the listing, the Lumia 950 will feature a 5.2-inch QHD display while the Lumia 950 XL features 5.7-inch QHD display. Both the smartphones can be seen packing a 20-megapixel rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics. Other features listed for Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphone include 32GB inbuilt storage with external microSD card support up to 2TB. Notably, the Microsoft Store claimed that both the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL will run Windows 10 instead of the Windows 10 Mobile. The listing was spotted on the UK-specific Microsoft Store (via WinBeta), and the phones were listed with GBP currency; though no price was listed. We can expect that the Store showed the place-holders for both the new Lumia smartphones.


As for the leaked specifications, which have been reiterated by multiple sources over the past few months, the Lumia 950 sports a 5.2-inch QHD display and is powered by Snapdragon 808 processor coupled with 3GB of RAM and a 3000mAh battery. The Lumia 950 XL, on the other hand, is said to equip a 5.7-inch QHD display, and is powered by a Snapdragon 810 chipset coupled with 3GB of RAM. Both the handsets are reportedly going to have a 21-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie sensor.

Apart from the long-rumoured Cityman (Lumia 950) and Talkman (Lumia 950 XL) Windows 10 Mobile devices, the company is also likely to launch the Surface Pro 4 tablet, the successor to the Surface Pro 3.
