Ever since Microsoft acquired Finnish company Nokia's mobile phone business, we've seen the Redmond company use its own branding on affordable, yet high-quality Lumia Windows Phones.  With Nokia still a force in emerging markets, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time – focus on entry-level devices, midrange at best, make sure they're of the highest quality with decent bang for the buck.  But there's a good chance the higher-end Microsoft Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL will be debuting sometime in the fall, alongside Windows 10 for Mobile.

Reports claim that the Lumia 940 XL will be a flagship phone with excellent fundamentals, while the Lumia 940 may be a bit less impressive in terms of its basics, but still high-end.  These devices may be the phones known behind the scenes as Cityman and Talkman, and we've also got some information on their specs, thanks to a recent sighting on the AdDuplex ad network.

We'll have to emphasize the word "basic" when it comes to specs, as this first sighting only tells us that the Microsoft Lumia 940 XL will have a 5.7-inch, QHD (2560 x 1440) display.  Thankfully, we were able to fill in the blanks somehow with regards to the XL's meat-and-potatoes.  The phone may run on a powertrain consisting of an eight-core Snapdragon 810 processor and 3 GB RAM, according to a separate report from NokiaPowerUser.  The XL may also sport 32 GB internal memory with microSD, a 20-megapixel rear camera with PureView technology, a 5-megapixel front camera, and an iris scanner for a special selling feature.

Going back to AdDuplex, that sighting suggests the Lumia 940 will have a 5.2-inch, 1080p display, but NokiaPowerUser suggests that the device will come with QHD resolution.  It may run on a Snapdragon 808 mated to 3 GB RAM, and may also come with 32 GB storage, and the same cameras as the bigger Lumia 940 XL.

We don't know yet when the Lumia 940 and 940 XL will be out in the market, but chances are we'll be seeing them get launched and released in the fall of 2015.
