14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft’s IFA 2014 press conference is about to kick off in Berlin, Germany, and here is what we can expect to see. First of all, there will definitely be a selfie-centric phone introduced during the event, but there will be at least one other mid-range device.
Nokia Lumia 730 and Lumia 830 are expected to make their debut at IFA 2014, but Microsoft said that we should expect lots of surprises, whatever that might mean.
The sequel to the mid-range Lumia 720 was leaked a while ago and is known as the “selfie phone.” This will be Microsoft's first smartphone that will feature a “big selfie camera” on the front, though the number of megapixels is still a mystery.
Other than that, we only know that the Lumia 730 is likely to sport a 5-inch HD (720p) display and a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor inside.
On the other hand, the Lumia 830 is a camera-focused phone that is said to boast a PureView rear-facing camera possibly larger than 10 megapixels, as well as Xenon flash.
However, these are just the latest rumors regarding Microsoft’s lineup of future Lumia phones, so take them with a grain of salt until they’re officially announced.
Speaking of which, Microsoft is going to live-stream the “More Lumia” launch event starting at 4am EDT / 8am GMT / 9am BST / 10am CET / 11am EST, so you can watch their new products from wherever your are.
