It is no mystery at this point that Microsoft intends to announce the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL early next month in New York City.
Today, some slides from an internal Microsoft presentation reveal the phones in all their glory. The images were posted by the Facebook page Forever Nokia Latinoamérica, which earlier leaked the Lumia 550 as well.
Nothing new is exactly revealed as the specifications of both phones, and even their designs have been known for some time now. However, instead of just third-party renders we can get an indication of how Microsoft is going to present the phones to the public.
Included in the images are some photos of the back of the phone and the Continuum dock codenamed 'Munchkin'. The specifications for both phones are repeated below:
