According to the latest rumor, both Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL, which are going to be Microsoft’s upcoming flagship smartphone duo are going to be much more expensive in comparison to the starting price of both Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6. In addition to Lumia and Lumia 940 XL, Microsoft also plans on releasing a boatload of
Windows handsets this year.
Unlike current generation flagship smartphones, which are incorporated with metal builds, both Windows mobile devices will feature a polycarbonate chassis, which begs the question, ‘Is Microsoft looking to rake tons of profit from its upcoming devices?’.
Lumia 940 And Lumia 940 XL Are Also Rumored To Feature A Retinal Scanner And Triple LED Flash According to the
source that sprouted up the rumor in the first place, both Lumia and Lumia 940 XL are going to be running a retinal scanner and triple LED flash function. The triple LED flash feature has been stated here because both the handsets are expected to feature a front facing LED, which we are confident will be putting smiles on to the faces of several smartphone consumers who have a severe affinity for taking selfies.
