Besides Samsung and HTC, which are se
to launch their flagship smartphones at
MWC 2015 in Barcelona, Microsoft will
also be hosting a media event at MWC
and has started sending invites.
The invite unfortunately fails to hint wha
we can expect from the event. However, i
does tell us the time and day of
announcement that is 08:30am CET (1
pm IST) on March 2, the first day of the
Mobile World Congress 2015.
HDBlog website, which first got hold of
the invite (via Phonearena) expects the
Redmond-based tech firm to introduce a
low-end Lumia 6xx handset at the event
Rumours about the launch of the
successor to Lumia 1320 are also in the
air for the event. The successor to Lumia
1320 was recently leaked with
specifications in December.
As previously reported, it is expected the
next Microsoft flagship smartphone will
not launch at MWC 2015 but instead
arrive 'later this summer'. The flagship is
expected to be powered by Qualcomm's
Snapdragon 810 SoC, with Qualcomm
hinting at this last month when
confirming its partnership with Microsoft
for the chipset .
Another report states that the event
might also see a low-cost version of
Lumia 830, which launched in India in
October last year. However, one would
have to wait until March 2 to know what
Microsoft has in store for its fans.
