Microsoft is currently on a roll to give their consumers as many products as possible this closing quarter of 2015, with the recent release of the Surface Pro 4 and its first official laptop, the Microsoft Surface Book. But it appears it has more in store with the upcoming release of three Windows 10 phones.

According to a report from Nokia Power User, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are expected to launch with AT&T by the first or second week of November. However, up to this point, the official AT&T store has not yet included the two phones, although this is subject to change at any moment.

The 950 is expected to be sold at a retail price of $549 while the 950 XL will have a retail price of $649. T-Mobile is also reportedly set to offer the two devices at a later point, although it hasn't been confirmed if it will launch in November or by December for the holiday seasons.

Powering the Lumia 950 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 CPU and 3 GB of RAM. It will contain 32 GB of hard drive storage space and will feature USB Type-C support. It is also expected to feature a 20-MP rear camera and a 5-MP front camera.

The Lumia 950 XL will have a similar OLED display but with a higher 1440 x 2560 resolution and is designed to be 5.7 inches. Inside it will resemble the smaller device but will be slightly more powerful with its Snapdragon 810 processor and its camera will also feature triple LED flash.

As for the Lumia 550, GSM Arena reports that it will hit store shelves sometime in December, presumably before Christmas to take advantage of the shopping season. It will be a 5-inch device using a Snapdragon 210 CPU and a 5-MP camera. It is a mid-range device given its specs but it is expected to still be capable of running on Windows 10.
