New Microsoft Lumia 950, Lumia 950XL, Lumia 550 To Feature Iris Recognition

New Microsoft Lumia 950, Lumia 950XL, Lumia 550 To Feature Iris Recognition

Smartphones Sep 26,2015 0

Leaked slides possibly from a presentation in Latin America unveil photos and specs of the upcoming Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL, and the Lumia 550 smartphones, plus the Continuum dock that they will plug into. Slides posted to Forever Nokia Latin America’s Facebook page (taken offline already) confirm that some of the phones will include a version of Windows Hello that will scan your eye’s iris to identify you without having to manually add a password.

Here are are the specifications of the new phones, according to the slides:

Lumia 950

  • Display: 5.2-inch QuadHD
  • Processor: Qualcomm 6-core Snapdragon 808
  • Camera: 20MP PureView rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and dual flash; 5MP HD front camera
  • Storage: 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage
  • Battery: 3,000 mAh, with rapid charging via USB-C

Lumia 950XL

  • Display: 5.7-inch QuadHD
  • Processor: Qualcomm 8-core Snapdragon 810
  • Camera: 20MP PureView rear camera with OIS and triple flash/5 Mpixel front camera
  • Storage: 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage
  • Battery: 3,300 mAh, with rapid charging via USB-C

Both phones can be connected to the "Microsoft Display Dock," a small box that appears to have microUSB inputs and connects to an external display. According to the slide, it will also have a Bluetooth connection built-in. The idea, as Microsoft has described previously, is that the two phones will use the Continuum feature to allow them to be used as small PCs, displaying Windows 10 universal apps across the entire screen real estate used by the widescreen monitor.

Yet another slide claims that both the Lumia 950 and 950XL will employ iris recognition as a means of authentication. Windows Hello on some Windows 10 notebooks uses a special Intel depth camera to scan your face, logging you in without the need to enter a password.

Seperately, Microsoft published a set of guidelines Friday outlining in chart form the different expectations it has for different phone, phablet and tablet devices running Windows 10.

One of the functions that Microsoft expects premium smartphones and value phablets to feature is facial unlocking using Windows Hello.

Lumia 550

  • Display: 5-inch, HD resolution
  • Processor: Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon 1GHz
  • Camera: 5MP rear autofocus camera with flash; 2MP front camera optimized for Skype
  • Storage: 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage; 128GB microSD card
  • Battery: 1,905 mAh with rapid charging
