According to the infamous Leakster @Evleaks, Microsoft's Lumia 940 XL phablet will have iris scanner for biometric identification. This feature will let you unlock your smartphone, not with passwords and fingerprint, but with eyes just by looking at the iris scanner. With iris scanner built into the Lumia 940 XL, Microsoft wants your precious device to be fully protected at all times.


Aside from   iris scanner coming to the Lumia 940 XL, the handset will also support wireless charging just like the Galaxy S6 handsets. It will have a   5.7-inch display Quad HD(2560x1440) purely covered with Corning gorilla glass 4 for maximum protection, even if you mistakenly drop it on a cement surface.

It will run the latest version of Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system along with Continum Mobile option that lets you use the Lumia 940 XL as a windows-powered computer, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage(no SD card slot) and will be powered by an Octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor.

On the camera side, Microsoft sure knows how to please its selfie-obsessed customers. The Lumia 940 XL will sport a magnificent 20 mega pixels back camera and a 5 mega-pixel front camera for video chat and capturing stunning pictures. Other features and specs of the Lumia 940 XL handset include a Li-ion 3300 mAh battery, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC.

This is going to be the best Windows 10 handset from Microsoft.
