Hungry for news of the preported Lumia 650 that seems to be coming in Q1 of 2016? Leaked render offers a quick look at the upcoming Lumia 650 | Windows Central
Let's pool what we know in this thread...
Here is the first leaked render (in black):
There seems to be issue with this render. The shadowing is off from a Microsoft in-house render style. This render surfaced on October 21, 2015 at WinBeta stating it is a render of 'Saana' and then going on to state it is the Lumia 650 due to the time on the phone in the render (a known Nokia/Microsoft clue to identity).
Here is a more recent render (in white):
This render surfaced on Baidu December 16, 2015 and is much fresher. It really differentiates itself from the previous leak in several ways. The metal edging for one, which matches the design language seen for leaks of the canceled 'Honjo' Lumia 850.
Fresh renders from Windows Central including this glamor shot in 360? rotation...
In the article on Windows Central about the canceled 850, Daniel Rubino also talks about the 'Saana' 650:
Here is what we appear to be looking at for an upcoming Lumia 650. (Note that I have assembled what is IMHO most probable from the specs I've looked at over a variety of sources):
Going off on my own, here is what I would expect based on recent trends.
All of the above may just be speculation, but I've tried to amass what info is out there and add reasonable assumptions to it.
What do you think? What other information have you found out there on the internet? How do you see this device shaping up?

So this latest white render looks more promising to be in line with reality.
Here is what we appear to be looking at for an upcoming Lumia 650. (Note that I have assembled what is IMHO most probable from the specs I've looked at over a variety of sources):
- The device is almost certainly in the pipeline for a Q1, 2016 reveal with actual production release to follow
- Windows 10 Mobile (what else?)
- A 'new' design language that carries over from Lumia 925/930/830 with a metal band running around the sides
- Flat chrome band around the top and sides
- White and black variants including white or black for bezels
- Glossy in the front (glass covered); matte backs
- A long Volume Rocker and a standard placement and size Power Button
- No dedicated Camera Button
- 5" AMOLED display with 720p resolution (720 x 1280)
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 SoC which "features a quad-core ARM Cortex A7 CPU with a 1.3 GHz CPU, Adreno 304 GPU, and support for X5 LTE and 1080p Full HD video playback"
- 1GB RAM
- 8GB internal storage
- 5MP front-facing camera; 8MP rear (likely, newer camera design) with LED flash
- No wireless charging
- Front Speaker Grill
Going off on my own, here is what I would expect based on recent trends.
- LTE across all variants at cat4 speeds (150mbps down/50mbps up)
- Single and Dual SIM variants
- ClearBlack
- microSD card slot in SDXC compatibility
- NO Pureview, NO OIS
- NFC
- Ambient light sensor, Accelerometer, Proximity sensor, Magnetometer, SensorCore
- [FONT=wf_segoe-ui]Double-tap to wake, Glance screen, Lumia Color and Brightness Profiles, Sensitive Touch[/FONT]
- [FONT=wf_segoe-ui]USB - C Dual Role[/FONT]
- A battery in the neighborhood of 2500 - 2600 mAH
All of the above may just be speculation, but I've tried to amass what info is out there and add reasonable assumptions to it.
What do you think? What other information have you found out there on the internet? How do you see this device shaping up?
