Microsoft Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL to Release on 10th of October! Date and Specs Revealed

It's a date!

10th of October has reportedly been chosen by Microsoft as the day the company will finally announce their much awaited phones – the Microsoft Lumia 940 and the Lumia 940 XL.

These two phones are expected to be the biggest releases in the windows 10 mobile OS, and are also expected to be the first phones to come out of the box with Windows 10 mobile OS pre-installed in them.

The company has been setting sight on the future after a major disaster in recent times.

While the Nokia deal turned out to be financially a major loss, and the firm bled out over 7.6 Billion dollars and lost more than 7800 employees, the losses have been acknowledged and written off, and amidst speculations of the Microsoft Mobiles department becoming defunct and Nokia being sold off, it is a ray of hope that the company is not going to do anything of that sort as the current talk around the town suggests that Microsoft will indeed stay with the original plan and more of Windows 10 Mobiles are expected though these might very well end up to be the last of the Lumia phones.

With Microsoft gearing up for the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL, here's a sneak peek at their expected specs:

Both, the Lumia 940 and the Lumia 940 XL are expected to be coated in aluminium and will also feature many advanced features such as an impressive 16MP Camera and a 5MP front camera which will add a much needed clarity to the Lumia fornt cameras, along with Nokia pureview technology.

The Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL will also feature a 3,300mAh battery.

The phones are also expected to release with an Iris scanner.

With such impressive features and large screens at 5.5 and 6 inches respectively, the Lumia 940 and the Lumia 940 XL are indeed some of the most awaited phones in the market, however, they could very well be the last of an era.

These phones are also expected to release with an Iris scanner which will function with the help of Windows Hello technology which Microsoft is planning to bring to the table for the very first time with the Windows 10 OS.

However a large part of this depends on what the reaction of the users is with the Windows 10 OS for PC.
