Surface Pro 4, anyone?
Microsoft has begun sending invites to members of the press for an October 6 event in New York City. The invitations state that Microsoft has "some exciting news to share about Windows 10 devices," though stops way short of offering up any specifics.
That's okay because the web is filled with leaked information, rumors, and speculation as to what Microsoft might have up its sleeve. One of the hardware items likely to make a debut is a Surface Pro 4 tablet, which would explain the recent sale promotions for the Surface Pro 3.
Rumors are kind of all over the place in regards to the Surface Pro 4. Some state that Microsoft will opt for an Intel Core M foundation while others point to more burly Core i5 and Core i7 processor options. With Intel having announced a slew of Skylake processors, many of which are aimed at mobile devices, it seems probable the Surface Pro 4 will feature Skylake instead of Broadwell.
It's also been said that Microsoft will introduce a second generation fitness wearable, the Microsoft Band 2, and new flagship phones, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. You might also know the phones by their codenames, Talkman and Cityman.
While nothing has been confirmed, it's believed the Lumia 950 will sport a 5.2-inch display and the Lumia 950 XL a 5.7-inch panel, both with a 2560x1440 resolution. The smaller sized device is also said to feature a 64-bit hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a 3,000mAh battery, while the bigger Lumia 950 XL will get a Snapdragon 810 processor and 3,00mAh battery.
