Microsoft Lumia 650 release, specs: Price of upcoming phone leaked online

A new leak reveals just how much Microsoft's upcoming mobile device, the Lumia 650, may cost when it is officially released.

According to a report by WinFuture, the Lumia 650 is going to be made available in Germany by O2, and it will carry a € 219 price tag. 

If the recently leaked price of the Lumia 650 proves to be accurate, then that would mean that the new phone would be available for about $238 in the United States.

Recent rumors have also suggested that the Lumia 650 will be arriving sooner rather than later.

As of now, the new Microsoft smartphone is expected to be made available on Feb. 1. On top of all that, the Lumia 650 is also anticipated to be the last mobile phone from the brand that will be released in 2016, according to Windows Central.

It may even end up being the last Lumia phone that Microsoft ever releases, as the company is expected to shift their focus toward their other brands such as the Surface devices.

As for the rumored specs and features of the Lumia 650, the new phone is expected to feature either Qualcomm's Snapdragon 210 model or possibly its 212 processor upon being launched.

When it comes to memory, the new phone is believed to have 1 GB of RAM along with 8 GB of internal storage. The Lumia 650 will reportedly provide a microSD slot as well for those who want to have more memory.

The new phone is also expected to have an 8-megapixel rear camera along with one up front that provides 5 megapixels, according to NDTV. Furthermore, Lumia 650 is also rumored to have a 5-inch HD display. 

The Lumia 650 will also reportedly feature the mobile version of Windows 10 as its operating system.

More official details regarding Microsoft's Lumia 650 should be made available soon, especially with its expected release date just weeks away.
