Recently we have seen leaked pictures and specifications of Microsoft Lumia 960 that was supposed to be the successor of Lumia 950. However that was cancelled because of the decision of Microsoft to retrench its mobile buisness. We have seen various cancelled Lumia series smartphone and that trend seems to continue now. We also have seen some pictures of a Nokia made Windows Phone that had a hardware qwerty keypad. Another day, another unreleased phone has made it to this list. Pictures of Hapanero, a Windows Phone which was only created for demo purposes at BUILD 2015 has been leaked.

Hapanero existed in two variants with dual-SIM support one having a 1080P screen and another one having 1440p screen. The device had been powered by a Snapdragon 810 processor with  4GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage with microSD card expansion. The phone also had a 20-megapixel camera with a triple LED flash (similar to Lumia  960) and 2000mAH capacity that can be removed.

We have been hearing rumours about Microsoft launching smartphone (not surface phone) at the end of this year. Other OEMs have not been able to capture the Windows phone market that Lumia left for them. Let us see what Microsoft will for the future of Windows phones.

We all know what is Amazon Echo and it can do. Now Microsoft is all set to take on Amazon Echo & even Google Home. Microsoft is coming up with new speakers. Don’t take it too simple, those are Cortana Powered Speakers. Yes, you heard it right. Microsoft had finally an answer to Echo & Google Home.

If rumors and leaked images are to be believed, Microsoft is planning to introduce new Cortana powered speakers in partnership with Harmon Kardon and other partners. A report on MSPU indicates clearly that this Cortana powered speakers are not far away.

Image Courtesy: MSPoweruser.com

Those who are on latest Insider build, Redstone 3 may have noticed a section called “Devices” in Cortana. Actually, Microsoft is working on an app called “Cortana Device Setup” which will further control the devices by Cortana. The app may be available in the upcoming RS3 Insider builds.

From the above Image, we can see a “Buy Now” button on Cortana, which now redirects to a Microsoft Page. You can check yourself if your PC is running on the First Insider Build of RS3. In future when the speakers are out, we can control them from here. As of now, we don’t have any Cortana Powered device. But take a look at the Screenshots below.

From the above Screenshot, we can understand that something is being cooked in the background by Microsoft and will soon come to light. And the app also contains some voice commands for Skype, Music, Reminder, Weather.

All these leaked Screenshots are pretty Interesting. It’s not far when we have a Cortana Powered Device in our hands. How many of you are excited to see this and wanna try a Cortana Device. Let us know in the comments below.

Rumors have been doing rounds and bits of leaks from here and there already have all but confirmed the reveal of Surface Pro 5. Now a new leak further solidifies the rumor and confirms that the Surface Pro 5 is indeed a thing and it is coming soon.

A new tweet from WalkingCat, a prolific Microsoft leaker has pointed to a source that indicates the presence of the Surface Pro 5. The tweet points to the profile of one Toby Fitch, who according to his LinkedIn profile is a Microsoft employee. His profile mention that he has been a ‘product designer’ for various devices like the HoloLens, Xbox and the Surface Pro 5.

Intel’s Kaby Lake, a refresh of all the Skylake based counterparts from 2016 is now almost present on all laptops and 2-in-1s, . As Surface is the only major player left here, it is sure that Microsoft is sure to refresh it’s specs by this year. Also Intel’s 8th generation processors are due this year. Taking all this into account, a Surface refresh is indeed due this year.

Admit it, Windows 10 looks smooth. With the transparency options, subtle animations and a bit of blur here and there, Microsoft has done a nice job with MDL2. It’s lot better than Windows 8 and reminds me a bit about Windows 7’s aero(sigh! I miss it.)

Looks like Microsoft is going to take the sweetness to a whole new level with its upcoming design language, Project NEON. Today we got a look at it, thanks to the good folks there at MSPU. The leaked photos shows that aero is making a comeback with some new twists. Microsoft is calling the new effect as ‘Acrylic’ and it sure does look nice.

Microsoft is supposed to release project NEON starting with Redstone 3. Developers can also implement the UI changes to their apps. Insiders will get an early peek at these features later this year.

A new report from a South Korean daily has suggested that Microsoft is one of the first customers for the new Foldable Screens from LG.

The new screens will probably be used by Microsoft in their Surface products in 2018 and their usage in phones is unknown for now. Apple and Google are also in the same van as Microsft here, and they are also purchasing the new Foldable Screens.

We have to wait for now, as currently speculating devices for next year will be foolish.
