A major leak from an internal Microsoft presentation has confirmed previous rumors about Microsoft’s coming flagship handsets, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, the Microsoft Display Dock, and a new low-end phone, the Lumia 550. Microsoft is expected to announce all of these devices on October 6.
The leak consists of six photos from that presentation, posted to Nokia Forever Latinoamérica on Facebook. Plus, there is a separate post about a third phone that Microsoft will reveal next month, the low-end Lumia 550. Both are in Spanish. But thanks to a year of Duolingo, I can actually read most of it.
