Is this Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10 flagship smartphone?

With all this talk about Windows 10 being able to run on 'all devices' as well as the Continuum feature which can turn a powerful smartphone into a desktop PC (given a dock, keyboard, monitor and mouse), there hasn't really been any hardware coming out of Microsoft that could demonstrate this ability. Until now.

The leaked photo above seems to belong to a 5.2-inch prototype Windows Phone which is said to be sporting a USB Type-C connector. It is hinted that this has a 20 megapixel PureView camera as well as a Snapdragon 808 processor and 3GB of RAM. Hopefully this device will be launched in time to ride the wave of interest that Windows 10 is enjoying right now.

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Windows 10 is officially available starting today and for free to many exisiting Windows 7 and Windows 8 users in 190 countries who have opted for the update and whose hardware supports the features and capabilities that the much awaited OS offers.

Restoring a lot of the familiarity of the desktop-focused Windows 7 OS from 2009, Windows 10 does bring significant features to exisiting desktop users as well as touchscreen or 2-in-1 devices.

Many exisiting Windows users have received the option of 'reserving' their copy of Windows 10.
