Q1 2016 Windows 10 Mobile devices // Lumia 850

[Mathias Lindberg]

The Lumia 950 and 950 XL will arrive in 2015, but the Lumia 850 and other Windows Phones are rumored to arrive in early 2016. I'm on a Lumia 830 now, and these are the changes I would like to see:

5" 1280x720 > 5? 1920x1080
Back-facing speakers > Front-facing speakers
NFC
Bluetooth 4.0
10 MP camera > 13 MP camera
Fingerprint scanner
Capacitive button > Capacitive button with pressure sensitivity

Short explanation: I like the Lumia 830 design, but I would like it to be taller and more like the iPhone 5 / Lumia 930 / Icon. I would also like them to remove the bump from the Lumia 830, so it's more flat, like the Lumia 930. I would also like the Windows button to be capacitive, but measure pressure, so it can activate the phone when it's sleeping, like the iPhone. I'm also a big fan of the Surface front-facing speakers, but it's not a big deal for me on a phone, and the borders are probably too small.

Some smaller changes, that still make a difference: Camera placed slightly higher on the device. Centered front-facing camera, with the call speakers on the left and right of it. Magnesium frame like the Surface, I prefer its look over aluminium.

Any ideas what processor, graphics card and battery capacity you want?

TLDR: More powerful than 830 without using a lot of battery.

The Moto X 3 is slightly cheaper here than the Lumia 830. The processor should be somewhere between the Snapdragon 400 and Snapdragon 800. It needs to be more capable than the Moto X and Lumia 830. Since I want it to be thinner and lighter, they should choose a processor that can handle games like Asphalt 8, but at the same time isn't using a lot of battery just to be slightly faster at loading apps.

Snapdragon 615 processor isn't as good as it is told in medias, heats a lot, the graphics chip is not spectacular, and Will you honestly accept the processor to be in Lumia 840?

It could be a Snapdragon 800. It depends on how it's priced, and it shouldn't compete with their flagship.

I'll take a blue one with 1080p, 5" screen, 13 mp / 5mp cameras, SD card support, and a Snapdragon 805 on AT&T, please.

Wish Lumia 840 with Snapdragon 620, Bluetooth 4.1, USB 2.0 Type-C port, please.

That's an iPhone with a Windows logo over the button

Is 5" 720p> 5" 1080p ? Really not true
