Specs revealed for two new Windows 10 flagship phones from Microsoft

A new article claims, via unnamed sources, to have the hardware specs and code names for two upcoming Lumia smartphones from Microsoft. The story says that both devices will use Windows 10 for phone and will launch later this fall.

The story comes from Unleash the Phones, and claims that both new Lumia smartphones will have 64-bit processors and a triple-LED flash for the rear camera. The report says one of the phones has the code name "Talkman". Here are its rumored specs:

  • 5.2 inch QHD display
  • Qualcomm-based 6 core processor
  • 3GB of RAM
  • 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot
  • 20MP rear camera
  • 5MP front facing camera,
  • 3000 mAh removable battery

The story says Microsoft is working on an even higher-end Lumia with the code name "Cityman". The report says its specs include:

  • 5.7 inch QHD display
  • Qualcomm-based eight core processor
  • 3GB of RAM
  • 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot
  • 20MP rear camera
  • 5MP front facing camera,
  • 3300 mAh removable battery

The story adds that both phones are scheduled for launch in the second half of 2015. In addition, the report claims that Windows 10 for phone devices will have a feature where users can take a phone call but answer it on their PC, and also send SMS text messages from their PC to other phones.

Keep in mind that this report does not come from an official Microsoft source on the record so take it with a grain of salt. We have personally been unable to verify this information and remain skeptical about all such rumors until the official word comes out.

We do know for certain that Microsoft will release the final version of Windows 10 for phones sometime after the "summer" launch of Windows 10 for PCs, but a specific date has yet to be revealed.
