To make fans more excited on the upcoming Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL devices, recent leaks reveal that both handsets will look alike but will sport different colors.

In a tweet, Evan Bass revealed the possible look of the two phones which are expected to be available in the market before the year ends.

The photos show the front and rear sides of the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL which seem to have no major difference when it comes to physical appearance.

"There is a simple Windows logo in the center of the rear side of both handsets, just below the camera sensors," revealed Neurogadget. It added that the only distinguishing factor was the color, the 950 was black while the 950 XL was blue.

The same report, however, noted that the new leaks only dished important details on the physical appearance of the phones and not really on its features.

Meanwhile, The Rem dished that the Microsoft Lumia 950, also known as Talkman, will come with a 5.2- inch WQHD (1440×2560) OLED display, a 64-bit hexacore Snapdragon 808 chipset, an iris scanner, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot for additional storage, 20MP PureView rear camera and a 5MP Wide-angle front facing camera. The device is believed to cost $600 when it comes out in the market.

As for the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL or the Cityman, the same report noted that the handset will have almost the same specifications but with a bigger 5.7-inch WQHD (1440×2560) OLED display and an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor. As for its price, the handset is said to be $50 more expensive than its smaller brother.

FirstPost highlighted that the two smartphones will have Qi wireless charging and an infrared/iris scanner "that will unlock the device in seconds" after a scan of the user's face.

Wireless charging, on the other hand, will be capable of transmitting power to a receiver in a portable device. This reportedly uses a system which charges devices using resonant inductive coupling.

Softpedia stated that the phones may also come with "on-screen keys instead of capacitive keys."

According to Softpedia, "It could be that the Redmond tech giant has been gathering feedback from users who might prefer on-screen keys for a couple of reasons. First off, you rid yourself of those annoying accidental presses, and secondly, once you're not using these keys, they quickly vanish into thin air."

Expected to be announced on the second week of October, the two Lumia devices are believed to be released along with the Windows 10 operating system.
