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.
Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Specifications
- Matte White or black polycarbonate body
- Dual-SIM optional
- 5.7 inch WQHD (1440x2560) OLED display
- Snapdragon 810, 64-bit Octa core
- 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
- 3300 mAh removable battery
- Qi wireless charging
- Glance Screen

All that remains for this phone is pricing and availability with the latter likely happening in early November. Stay tuned to Windows Central for Tuesday's event as we'll be in New York City all day bringing you hands-on coverage.
Big thanks to @Windows10Lover and WinPhans, for the photos!
