Fans of Microsoft's smartphones might be tickled pink to see these leaked renders of their next flagship devices. As is usual, the aesthetic design of the next Lumia line is impressive. As is evidenced by the pic above, these are truly gorgeous devices. Here's a quote with what we know about them,

Evleaks has posted the renders for both devices on Twitter: the larger, cyan one with a 5.7-inch screen is known as codename Cityman, while the black phone with a 5.2-inch screen is Talkman. They're expected to have Quad HD displays, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and 5-megapixel front shooters. Cityman might be powered by an eight-core ship, while its smaller sibling might be equipped with a six-core processor.

From peeking at these specs and design elements, it looks like Microsoft is still on a roll with their next generation products. Let's cross our fingers they can keep up the momentum!

For some reason the front of the talkman doesn't really look right for me for some reason. But the cityman on the left looks great. Other than the EXPLETIVE camera bulge. Apple doing it does not make it ok! Really don't like that silver ring around the camera on the Talkman either

Also a shame that so few phones make use of front facing speakers. Still one of my fav features of my M7

I hope the cityman is available in black, not that horrible blue. So tacky imo.

I actually really dig the silver ring. I think it makes it "pop" a bit more.

Indeed. It's simply personal preference. I know many will love it. I hate anything that stands out or makes a presence of itself. I like to blend into the scenery and be passed by without a glance :)

You would probably like my Google Nexus 5 (if it were a Windows phone) then. It has a very subdued (ninja-like) quality. It's almost like it was a solid piece of tech carved out of obsidian. It reminds me of the obelisk in 2001: A Space Odyssey. :D

Here's a picture we took of it with some stylized lighting for a review:

Here's the usual press shot below. The Talkman above kinda reminds me of it, only with that silver ring you don't like. I see your point more now! lol!

It's why I like my htc one. Now that I've worn the beats logo off of the back, other than the htc logo on the front, it's just a (sleek) black slab.
