“Lumia 950 XL comes with a 5.7” display and a 2.0 GHz octa core Snapdragon 810 processor. The smartphone comes with rater low-end hardware including a 4.7-inch LCD display with a 720p resolution, a Snapdragon 210 quad-core 1.1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage which will be expandable via microSD card. Microsoft was rumored to opted into an exclusivity deal this time around for its phone but it appears it doesn’t have an exclusive deal with AT&T. Once the phone is connected to this screen, it displays nearly the full version of Windows 10 on the big screen, giving people a similar experience that they will get from a proper computer.
A budget Windows 10 smartphone called the Lumia 550 will follow in December.
He says, “Earlier today, we attended the Windows 10 Device Event in New York”. In the new Lumia phones there are a number of unique features.
It’s also rumoured that we’ll see the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, the first Surface to ship with Windows 10 at launch. “We’re moving people from needing to choosing to loving Windows, and these devices promise to fuel even more enthusiasm and opportunity for the entire Windows ecosystem”. With more than 1.25 billion visits to the Windows Store, Microsoft announced all-new universal apps for Windows 10, including Box, Facebook, Instagram, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Flipagram, Uber, and others.
The Surface Book features a 12-hour battery life, according to Microsoft. Notice how the black border around the screen is slimmer on the Surface Pro 4 above than it is on the Surface Pro 3 below.
The newly announced Surface Book is a laptop replacement, operating much like the Surface Pro series, but without a kickstand on the back of its tablet portion.
The company is reportedly working on a phone that comes with the power of a surface device. It comes with a 6th gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor and up to 1TB of storage.
Pre-orders for the Surface Pro 4 start on October 7 starting at United States dollars 899.
Windows 10’s new browser Edge replaces Internet Explorer. Unlike Apple’s iOS updates and more like Android, Microsoft has to course a few of those updates through carriers, which could further delay it by a month or so.
But the Surface Book isn’t just another Surface tablet with a better keyboard. Microsoft Band 2, which allows users to monitor their fitness and exercise regime, will be priced at $249 when it becomes available on October 30.

In terms of overall style and design, the Surface Pro 4 gets a relatively minor makeover from last year’s model. The Surface Pro 4, on the other hand, is for the true professional, the guy who wants mobility, power, versatility, and functionality in one awesomely built package.
