Lumia 650 announcement in February, no successors for Lumia 950 and 950 XL – TechTastic

The Lumia 950 and XL 950 are the latest high-end smartphones from Microsoft of the Lumia series, and they will also, in all likelihood according to the sources of Windows Central remain the same. According to the usually well-informed site the Lumia 650 is the only Lumia smartphone that is placed on the market in 2016. This means that the much discussed Lumia Lumia 750 and 850 can not be introduced. Earlier there were already rumors about the release of a high-end Surface Phone in the autumn of 2016.

Microsoft would like to announce the Lumia 650 on February 1 via the official blog. Presumably, Microsoft contends that the Lumia 650 is not important enough to be announced during a presentation. Last year, Microsoft introduced still some Lumia smartphones at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

In terms of specifications, we expect that the Lumia 650 is equipped with a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The leaked pictures also show a stylish design with an aluminum frame and rounded corners. Under the hood we find a quad-core Snapdragon 212-soc Qualcomm in combination with 1GB of RAM and an Adreno 304 GPU. Storage memory is standard 8GB but can be extended with a micro SD card.

Images can be shot with the 8-megapixel camera on the back. At the front we have chosen a five-megapixelfrontcam. Furthermore, the device comes into or white and turns it out of the box on the Windows Mobile operating system 10. It is still unclear what the Lumia 650 will cost and when the phone is in stores.

The company from Redmond would this year focus entirely on the introduction of the Surface Phone as the flagship of 2016. Currently might Surface Phone internally have been named Panos Phone, because Panos Panay, one of the main people behind the Surface line, is responsible for the development of the smartphone.
