Microsoft working on 2 'high-end' Lumia phones for Windows 10

Microsoft is reportedly working on two high-end Lumia phones for Windows 10 that are expected to be rolled out later this year.

According to The Verge, the two devices are codenamed 'Cityman' and 'Talkman' respectively.

Cityman is designed to be the true flagship phone for Windows 10 and is likely to include a 5.7-inch QHD display, Qualcomm octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 20-megapixel camera at the rear. Microsoft is planning to use a removable rear cover for access to the battery and microSD slots, despite the presence of 32GB of internal storage. The device will also support the new Continuum for phones feature to transform a phone into a PC and Microsoft is planning to ship some additional hardware with the phone to enable this.

Talkman Lumia, on the other hand, is expected to be slightly smaller than Cityman with a 5.2-inch QHD display. Powered by a Qualcomm hexa-core processor, the phone will feature 3GB of RAM, and a 20-megapixel camera.

Both handsets will come with a triple-LED flash to support different tones for photos, alongside a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, the report said.
