His official tweet was “I see you cityman and raise you a Talkman”.
Microsoft is expected to name the two, the Lumia 950 (Talkman) and the Lumia 950 XL (Cityman). The images showed both devices while on a bump on the cameras rear. Both phones have the well known Microsoft logo at the back. One thing to notice is that the body is precisely square.
The Cityman is the cyan blue phone, while the Talkman is the slightly smaller (5.2-inch) black phone.
The Cityman is the big brother of the two, with its 5.7-inch WQHD display and a 20-megapixel PureView rear camera with triple-LED flash. The Cityman will support both surface pen and a new smart cover that utilizes easy access to the phone’s notifications.
The devices are expected to also support USB type-c and Qi wireless charging. Information regarding an accessory that is said will support the Cityman on the new Continuum feature of Windows 10 Mobile and will help in attaching additional USB devices to the phone.
