After acquiring Nokia’s smartphone section, Microsoft have produced its several own Lumia smartphone (like the Lumia 640 and Lumia 540) but we haven’t seen a high-end device yet. Later this year, Microsoft reportedly introduce the flagship Lumia 940 to replace the current premium Nokia Lumia 930. One more model can be introduced together with the Microsoft Lumia 940 is a phablet Microsoft Lumia 940 XL.

We don’t know yet about the Lumia release date but we can guess some possible specs on the so-called Microsoft Lumia 940.

Speculated Microsoft Lumia 940 specs

Previous reports said the phone would pack a 5” display like its predecessor, the Lumia 930. However, the latest article on Nokia Power User mentioned that the Microsoft Lumia 940 would be shipped with a larger 5.2” display instead, while the Microsoft Lumia 940 XL display bump up to 5.7”. No hint on the resolution yet but it would be better to pack fHD resolution to an over-5-inch display these days.

We can hope the new Lumia smartphones will have at least octa-core CPU, 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. We will witness a huge change in shooting when a 24MP or 25MP Pureview main camera sticks to the back of the device. Front-facing camera on both Lumias will be updated to 5MP or 8MP.

New phones, new technique. Some other rumored features on the new Lumias include native pen support, iris scanning capabilities and 3D interactions. Next Lumias flagship should run on the new Windows 10, which is now available only as a Technical Preview.

In our thought, both new Microsoft Lumia940 and 940 XL release date are expected to appear no later than June 2015 when Microsoft allegedly debut the new Windows 10 OS. In the meantime, we have no idea how the phones will look like. Will they inherit the Lumia design? Or will they be distinctive?

Hopefully, Malaysia will be on top list of launching and the Lumia 940 prices are acceptable as well.
