Microsoft is planning to launch two new Windows Phone 8.1 devices shortly.
Microsoft devices Chief Stephen Elop revealed the devices in an internal meeting. He described the first phone, codenamed 'Superman', as a 'selfie phone' which sports a 5MP front camera and a 4.7 inch display for capturing high quality self shots.
The second handset is codenamed 'Tesla,' and recently appeared in leaked images. Elop described the Tesla handset as an affordable high-end phone with a PureView camera.
Tesla will likely debut as a Lumia 720 replacement and it mark a new effort by Microsoft to push PureView down to even lower price points.
The handset looks similar to the squared Lumia 930, but we understand it will be thinner and less bulky.
