Microsoft delays Windows 10 Mobile upgrade until "early next year"

Following the announcement, it was speculated that the upgrade will be available only for select devices running on Windows 8 and 8.1 and that it will not be available to everyone on the first day itself. Microsoft is envisioning the smartphone to be distributed en masse by companies to their minions as a low-priced business phone.

Windows Central with the help of Phone Designer has come up with stunning renders of the Microsoft Lumia 650, also known internally as Saana. The company has added a new member in its Lumia portfolio with the launch of its Microsoft Lumia 550 in the market. Another problem with the recent announcement is that Microsoft still has not given out a list of devices that will first receive the upgrade.

It is speculated that the specifications are also impressive, as it is said to run Windows 10-Microsoft's latest operating system (OS). Fans were patient and open-minded enough not to mind the five month gap of the Windows 10 for PC's release date and the Windows 10 Mobile roll-out's promised date. Instead, it wants everyone to jump on Windows 10 and buy into its vision of a single, unified OS.

According to rumors, the Lumia 650 will feature a 5-inch display with 720p HD resolution, and it will most likely be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 SoC combined with an Adreno 304 GPU.

Lumia 650 underwent major changes in terms of design and build, which makes it look similar to a premium smartphone.

That seemingly oxymoronic design of the Lumia 650 is supposedly due to its target audience.

As far photography is concerned, the Lumia 550 comes with a 5 MP primary camera with autofocus and LED flash support. Apart from that the Lumia 650 will come with 8GB of internal storage. It includes Lumia 530, Lumia 610, Lumia 800, Lumia 810, Lumia 820, Lumia 900, Samsung ATIV S variants, LG Lancet, Windows Phone 8S HTC, Windows Phone 8XT HTC, Windows Phone 8X HTC, Dell Venue Pro, and Samsung Omnia 7.
