Designer creates new Microsoft Lumia 940 concept

New flagships running Windows 10 for phones are expected to debut later this year, but in the meantime, designers across the world don’t want to wait any longer and create their own concepts imagining the devices that Microsoft could release at some point in 2015.

This is the case of the Lumia 940 XL concept, a new design that’s based on existing speculation on the successor to Lumia 930 and that proposes not only an absolutely stunning look but also hardware specifications that would make such a device a flagship in all respects.

As you could easily guess since it has the XL moniker, this model would come with a larger screen than that of the Lumia 930, which kind of pushes it closer to the phablet range.

A 5.4-inch 2k SAMOLED LCD screen would be offered on the 940 XL, the concept designer says, which should be good enough not only to offer impressive quality but also to be energy-efficient and allow the battery to get you through the day.

Windows 10 and Intel CPU

Needless to say, the device would ship with Windows 10 for phones and would be powered by an Intel Atom x7 64-bit quad-core processor. 4 GB of RAM would also be offered, and so would be 32 GB of internal storage and microSD card support for an additional 128 GB when needed.

As far as cameras are concerned, the Lumia 940 XL would excel too, so a 24.2-megapixel rear unit with PureVIew and Carl Zeiss Optics would also be installed. For selfies and video calls, there’s a secondary 8-megapixel front camera with a LED flash.

Obviously, this is just a concept and there’s no proof that the final product (if Microsoft indeed plans to launch an XL model in addition to the standard one) can look like this, but there’s no doubt that such a design would really appeal to lots of buyers out there.
