From PC World: Microsoft’s upcoming Lumia phone, codenamed Superman, could arrive in early September. The Windows Phone maker recently sent out press invites for an event on Thursday, September 4 in Berlin, Germany with the tag line “Ready for more? Join us for more face time.”
Microsoft’s event is scheduled one day before the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin.
Microsoft’s reference to more “face time” could be hinting at an improved front-facing camera for selfies and video chat, as The Verge suggests. That’s exactly what the Lumia 730, a.k.a Superman, is supposed to be about. The Lumia 730 is expected to feature a 4.7-inch display and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera.
Rumors about the 730 first appeared in April when The Verge said one of the earliest post-Nokia acquisition phones from Microsoft would be a selfie-focused handset codenamed “Superman.”
