Although Tuesday is just around the corner, it has not stopped leakers from releasing new details about Microsoft's latest hardware. The latest leak this morning from @Windows10Lover shows the Microsoft Lumia 950 is all its glory. Although we have previously seen sterile renders and some low-resolution photos these pictures put the phone in a whole new light.
Probably the biggest details to emerge is the revelation that this phone also now gets a triple flash. Earlier reports and leaked specifications indicated that only the Lumia 950 XL was getting a triple LED flash, but Microsoft has evidently upgraded the Lumia 950 too with a triple version.
Microsoft Lumia 950 Specifications
- Matte White or black polycarbonate body
- Dual-SIM optional
- 5.2 inch WQHD (1440x2560) OLED display
- Snapdragon 808, 64-bit Hexa-core processor
- Iris scanner (near infrared) for Windows Hello
- 3GB of RAM
- 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot (up 2TB micro SD card)
- 20MP f/1.9 PureView camera with triple LED flash
- 5MP Wide-angle front facing camera
- 3000 mAh removable battery
- Qi wireless charging
- Glance Screen
- Qualcomm rapid charge
- USB Type-C
Additionally, we can also get confirmation that there will be a dual-SIM variant of the Lumia 950, something I have confirmed earlier on our most recent #AskDanWindows episode.
Focusing in on the front of the device we can get a better look at low-infrared diode for the iris scanner. Part of Windows Hello this feature lets users unlock their Lumia just by looking at it, which should make a good commercial for this phone.
