Microsoft may be working on a pair of high-specification
Lumia smartphones meant to showcase the upcoming
Windows 10 operating system. Details relating to two upcoming smartphones have apparently leaked, with a report claiming one device codenamed "Cityman" has a 5.7-inch QHD display, while the "Talkman" will have the same resolution but use a smaller 5.2-inch screen.

The Talkman will apparently have a six-core Snapdragon processor and similar RAM, storage, and cameras as the Cityman, except it will use a 3,000mAh battery and will be slimmer than the
Lumia 930.

It is claimed the phones will include a new Windows 10 feature similar to the iPhone's "Hand Off," allowing the desktop to make or receive calls and texts, via the smartphone's SIM. While the
Continuum system brought up during Microsoft Build last week was said to require more powerful devices in order to function, there is no word on if these two rumored devices will be capable of using it.
Microsoft is likely to wait for Windows 10 for Phones to roll out to devices before releasing the two handsets, with the company having already advised it would be releasing the mobile version of Windows 10 some time after the standard computer version launches.
