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.

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Cool Down

Cool Down Your Android Phone With a Tap An overheating phone is bad news for your battery life, your palms and the internal components inside your device. Fortunately, there's an Android app that can help, shutting down some non-essential system tasks and background processes to give your handset the chance to cool off. You can choose from a one-tap quick fix or a more detailed manual mode. The app in question is EaseUS Coolphone and it offers several ways to wave a metaphorical fan in front of your phone's face. You can tap the quick cool button on the app's opening screen, via the app's one-button widget or from the app's entry in the notification drawer. After a few moments of scanning, you can choose to apply the changes suggest by the app. It will look for apps running in the background that don't necessarily have to be there, as well as settings that can be turned off to reduce the work your phone's doing. If you find these changes t...
