So with the newly announced 1520 being discontinued it made me wonder what models are Microsoft looking to refresh? How many do y'all think there will be from Microsoft and from other carriers?
I originally thought the 1520 would last another year, but maybe they're upping the amount of RAM in these devices? 2gb seems enough though.
Keep in mind this is all purely speculation. So IMO I think they'll release some models like these:
920 successor. ( 940 or whatever it'd be called ) Out side of the refresh from the 925 and maybe the 930 ( which is closer to the 1520 ) I think this is a given. I want to say this is going to be their smaller handset variant with the 4.5 - 4.7 inch variant. I think at the most it would be a 5', but I feel like that would instead be named the 935. I feel like most of these are going to have the new intel phone chipset. Which can be great or terrible being that this is the first of their kind.
1020 successor ( 1030? ). I think this is a given and this is something that most people seem to want since they loved their 1020 (myself included), but also cause it didn't have that long of a lifespan. 41mp camera is a must, but I'd either like to see that up higher (for marketing purposes). Ultimately it just needs a better sensor to produce better pictures though. Now I would put this guy at the 5 inch mark as well. With the refresh of 2gb standard of RAM and the Denim Lumia Camera update, this could put the Galaxy S6 quick camera feature back to shame. This camera NEEDS to have top notch processing power and ram so I would say Snapdragon may be the safer bet over the intel chip.
I honestly don't think there will be a 1530 or a Surface Phone just yet. As much as I'd love to see both they cannot, as a company, release multiple models and have them all compete against each other either.
TL;DR
Which models in your opinion would be released with W10?
