Given
the sweeping
job cuts we've
seen at Microsoft this week, you could be forgiven for thinking the company is
looking at winding down its phone hardware business and focusing on the desktop
instead.
Nevertheless
CEO Satya Nadella has
promised he is
"committed to our first-party devices including phones", and it
sounds like the firm is going to make good on that promise in the
not-too-distant future.
Respected
Twitter tipster @evleaks (aka Evan Blass) says that at
least six new handsets are in
the pipeline, so those of you eager to give Windows 10 Mobile a run out will
have plenty of devices to pick from.
The
return of the Lumias
So what
could these handsets be? We've already heard a lot about the
Lumia 940XL, a Snapdragon 810-powered flagship phone with a 5.7-inch QHD
display and some mouth-watering specs.
There
are also rumours of a more modest mid-range Lumia
940 device as
well, with slightly less powerful internal components for what we would assume
is a slightly lower price.
As for
launch dates, we know that some
devices are coming this year, though we don't know exactly
when - Microsoft has yet to confirm how long we'll have to wait for Windows 10
Mobile after the desktop version of the software arrives at the end of this
month.
