With Windows 10 for phones slated to arrive later this year, Microsoft is planning to introduce two high-end Lumia devices with its latest platform.

Microsoft is reportedly working on high-end Lumia handsets that are slated to unveil along with Windows 10 for PC in summer. A new report has surfaced with the purported specs of two elegant Lumia handsets.

The Windows powered flagship smartphones are rumored to be codenamed Lumia 'Cityman' and 'Talkman,' both the Lumia smartphones are said to be targeting the premium segment, according to NDTV Gadgets.

According to a report by GSMArena, Cityman will sport:

5.7-inch QHD display
Qualcomm octa-core processor
3GB RAM
32GB expandable storage
3,300 mAh removable battery

In addition, the 'Cityman' will feature a 5MP front camera and 20MP rear snapper which hopefully carries the PureView lineup a step further.

The Lumia 'Talkman' on the other hand will feature:

5.2-inch QHD display
A hexa-core Qualcomm processor
3GB of RAM
32GB inbuilt storage
Expandable storage support via microSD card
20MP rear camera
5MP front camera
3,000 mAh battery

According to Unleash The Phones, Microsoft will try to keep both the smartphones slimmer than Lumia 930.

In addition, both the Lumia handsets are believed to have 64-bit support, but the processors to be used are still not clear.

The publication stated it will most probably be the Snapdragon 810 or Snapdragon 808. Plus, both phones will also have a triple-LED flash, with each LED having a different tone in order to facilitate photos with most neutral colors.

As far as software is concerned, the tech giant is set to announce a new Windows 10 feature that will be similar to "Hand-off" on iPhone/OSX where users will be able to get a call on their Windows phone, and can answer it on their PC. Moreover, users can start a call, or even send an SMS from their PC itself.

Since Microsoft has not confirmed anything about the phones yet, users are encouraged to take the leaked report with a pinch of salt. If they've real at all, then there is a possibility that these might be the first two devices to come with Windows 10 for phones pre-installed.
