Lumia 940 & 940XL: year end flagships with Snapdragon 810, 3GB RAM and 20MP camera

Microsoft is planning to release three smartphones this year end, and we already know that they will be the Lumia Trio : Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL, together with Lumia 840. However, since Microsoft wants to issue some orders, the phones will be Lumia 940 and Lumia 940XL instead, following their predecessor Lumia 930.

Lumia 940 display will be a 5.2 inch screen with the resolution of 1440 x 2560 p. The phone will have a pixel density of 565ppi. Moreover, Lumia 940 specs have some awesome details to look at, such as a Snapdragon 808 SOC and a hexa-core 1.8GHz processor will power up the device. 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage are available from the start. Lumia 940 battery is 3000mAh.

Moreover, Lumia 940 camera is a 20MP one, which is huge since it is a flagship.

Lumia 940 will sport a very powerful hardware.

Lumia 940XL, as the name suggest, is the bigger version of Lumia 940. Lumia 940XL display will be a 5.7 inch screen, but with its QHD resolution the pixel density become lower: 515ppi. Lumia 940XL hardware specs are better as well, with Snapdragon 810 as the chipset and an octa core 2GHz processor. It will be equipped with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage either. However, Lumia 940XL battery is higher, being 3300mAh. The camera specs stay the same.

The last of the trio will be named Lumia 840, which could be a mid range handset. Since it is considered a mid range phone, it seems Lumia 840 display will come at 5 inch. The phone will have DUAL SIM option. Lumia 840 camera is rumoured to be the Pureview 13MP one. As Lumia 840 design would be familiar to that of Lumia 830, a front facing 5MP camera would be there as well.

Moreover, Microsoft plans to move the capacity touch screen on the bezel to the screen on Lumia 940 and Lumia 940XL. They state that it would prevent accidental pressing. Pretty neat for the thought. We do not know Lumia 940 & 940XL price or Lumia 840 price in the Philippines yet, but let’s wait until they are released.
