Since the naming convention used in the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL , I would expect the next flagships to be the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL, instead of a 940 and 1540.
If they’re not going to focus on camera innovation then what? They’re putting flagship features in low price devices and they said the next flagship would be special, innovative, and worth waiting for. So if not camera innovation, then what? Well, it’s Microsoft, so expect productivity innovation. Expect WACOM support in the Lumia 940 XL, if not the Lumia 940 as well.
Windows Phone users are tired of hearing that it will get better soon. I remember back in 2013 when Joe Belfiore tweeted that the app gap would be closed by the end of 2014. We forgive him because of the hair, but still. For years, we have been hearing the same thing, that it will get better soon. Now, we’re hearing that it will get better when Windows 10 comes out.
Microsoft is smart to do the brilliant things that they are doing in the mid-range and the low end, but they can’t forget about flagships. I met hundreds of Lumia lovers over the past couple days. I was extremely jealous that they all had Lumia 930s and I never even had the opportunity to buy one.
Now the Nokia Lumia 1020 will be two years old in July. For all of us that rushed out and bought one on launch day because we know what a 41 MP Pureview camera can do, it’s time to upgrade for us. It worries me that we might not have something to upgrade to.
Pureview is one of the things that makes Lumia special and it is the main reason that Lumia enthusiasts love Lumias so much. For us, we have been dreaming about that 41 MP camera backed up by a solid quad core processor for years. Let’s just hope someone from Microsoft is listening.
