The Microsoft Lumia 650 is up for pre-order even before it has been officially announced. UK-based retailer, MobileFun listed the device on its website for $283.99, which is approximately Rs. 19,300. However, the website does not mention the date as to when the device will be available. As per the listing, the device will come with a 5-inch IPS display and a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. It is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.1GHz with 1GB of RAM. The device is equipped with a 2000mAh battery and runs Windows 10 for Mobile out-of-the-box. The device is listed as having an 8MP rear camera while the front camera details are not mentioned. However, it is expected to be a 5MP sensor.
Recent reports suggest that the Microsoft may be planning on launching the Lumia 650 on February 1, but may do so without an event. It has been suggested the the company will release the details about pricing and availability via its official blog. It is also reported that the Lumia 650 will be the only phone to be released by Microsoft this year. However, the much rumoured Surface Phone might be launched eventually.
A few days ago, Microsoft accidentally mentioned a device called Lumia Phone X, which may be the Surface Phone. On the description of a video produced by Microsoft China to explain Continuum, it is mentioned that the Microsoft Lumia 950/XL, Acer Jade Primo, and Lumia Phone X will support the device. The description was later edited to reference the Lumia Phone X, which could mean that the device is legitimate and the company is trying to cover it up. It is also possible that the device mentioned is not the Surface Phone, and it is a yet-to-be-numbered Lumia Phone.
Reports suggest that HP may launch a high-end Windows Phone by the end of the year. GFXBench screenshots suggest that the device, called HP Falcon, will have a 5.8-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC. It has been tipped to come with a 20MP rear camera and a 21MP front camera. The device is expected to be announced at the World Mobile Congress event scheduled to be held in Barcelona next month.
