Lumia 640, 640 XL unveiled ahead of time

lumiaunveil At MWC 2015 several companies will be making announcementsfor their new and upcoming products. Microsoft is one of them, however it looks like the announcement was made a bit earlier than expected. The Redmond company announced on their website (it has since been taken down) two new handsets – the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL.

Oops. Stuff happens. It wouldn’t be the first time an announcement has jumped the gun.

I think we can safely assume that these handsets are the successor to the Lumia 635. But what can we expect from these two handsets? Well, the leaked specifications for the Lumia 640 claim that it will come with a 5-inch display, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of onboard storage. It is also said to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 400 processor which would make this one a low-end device. It will have an 8MP rear-facing camera, and a 1MP front-facing camera too.

The Lumia 640 XL is a mystery at the moment, but we can assume that it will have a larger display, hence the XL. We don’t know if it will be more powerful or not. Microsoft will be making their announcement soon, so we will have all of the info at that time.

Microsoft's new 'Project Spartan' web browser shown off in new video (MSFT)

AP Microsoft gave us a quick glimpse at its next web browser — codenamed Project Spartan — back in January , but a new video shows some of the web browser’s newest features in action. The folks over at WinBeta have managed to get their hands on an early copy of Project Spartan, according to The Verge , and their video walkthrough demonstrates how the browser will see close integration with Cortana, Microsoft’s own Siri-like virtual assistant. In an effort to make browsing the web more efficient, Cortana will be able to glean important information from websites like store hours, phone numbers, and addresses. Cortana lets you know if she’s been able to pull any helpful information by jumping up and down in your search bar. Click on Cortana’s circular symbol, and a side bar is brought up that presents what she found in a tidy format. WinBeta Cortana can also easily pull up directions without even leaving the current web page, which could end up being handy when you’re in a rush and d...
