Microsoft Lumia 940 Leaked Image Reveals Camera With Triple-LED Flash

Windows Phone fans have been waiting for Microsoft to release a new flagship smartphone. The Lumia 940 is expected to be that device, and an image of its rear camera with triple-LED flash has just leaked.

While Apple and Samsung battle it out in the high-end smartphone game, Microsoft has seen most of its success come from its mid-range and budget handsets. The Nokia Lumia 520, which was released in April 2013, had sold over 12 million units when Microsoft announced it was the company's best-selling smartphone and revealed sales numbers for the first time in July 2014.

As Microsoft prepares to roll out its next desktop OS, Windows 10, on July 29, the company is also putting the finishing touches on its smartphone equivalent OS, Windows 10 Mobile. The updated OS is rumored to be released in September and will be able to run on any current Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone.

It only makes sense that Microsoft would also like to have new flagship Lumias to be the launch vehicles for the new OS, and those devices are expected to be a pair in the form of the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL. The handsets are expected to feature similar high-end specs, and as the Lumia 940 XL's name implies, it will be a phablet.

The Lumia 940 and 940 XL are expected to feature 5.2-inch and 5.7-inch 2560 by 1440 quad-HD displays. The smartphones will likely be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, microSD expansion slots and 5 megapixel front-facing cameras for video chat and selfies.

Once we hear any new details regarding the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL, we'll report right back.

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of 10 free call apps to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks With $149 Windows 10 Laptops Despite a lacklustre start, Chromebooks are becoming relatively popular in the super-budget end of the portable market. This has worried Microsoft for some time. After all, with a Google-centric experience, not to mention an operating system in the form of Chrome OS, there’s little if anything to be gained here by Microsoft and everything to lose. That’s why it’s targeting the Chromebook specifically, with a most likely Windows 10-based $149 laptop. They’re no MacBook killers and don’t expect them to play GTA V, though (when it finally makes a PC appearance that is). According to tech rumour site www.Digitimes.com , these laptops are geared primarily towards emerging markets, education and the super-low end market, which includes users whose tasks are limited to web browsing, word processing and social media use. The Chromebook has gained traction in quite a few areas and Micros...

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
