At that time, the product pages for the new Lumias were unavailable, as Microsoft clearly wanted to stir up interest without actually revealing too much information (not that we didn't know everything about the two devices already), but now more photos were published in the store and provide us with a quicker look at the phones.
Familiar Lumia design
As you can see for yourselves, the two Lumias look just like in the photos that got leaked not a long time ago and feature the familiar Lumia design that has been used even before Microsoft took over Nokia.
The Lumia 950 XL will come with a 5.7-inch display that will boast a resolution of 1440x2670 pixels, as well as a 20-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel unit on the front for selfies and video calls.
A Snapdragon 810 processor will also be offered, and so will be 3GB of RAM, and 32 GB of storage. MicroSD card support will be available for expanded storage. The 950 XL will come with a 3,300 mAh battery, but for the moment it's not yet clear if it is removable or not.
The smaller Lumia 950 will have a 5.2 screen with a resolution of 1440x2560 pixels and pretty much the same specs, except for the processor which is likely to be a Snapdragon 808. The battery will also be smaller – only 3,000 mAh.
Both models will come with an iris scanner for Windows Hello, USB Type-C, and support for Microsoft's new Continuum features that will allow the phones to become mini-portable PCs.
