Early this week, Microsoft announced that it will host a 'Windows 10 Devices' event on Oct. 6 when the Redmond-based tech giant is expected to unveil its new Windows 10 based handsets - Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. Here is what the fans can expect at the upcoming event in New York City.

Latin Post reports that the event will kick off at 10:00 a.m. on Oct. 6 with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella taking the stage. He will be unveiling a variety of new as well as some old devices running on Windows 10, the company's most recent multi-screen operating system.

As of now, Microsoft is silent on the details of the upcoming Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. The company has just provided the date, the #Windows10devices hashtag, and the link to watch a live stream of the event on that Tuesday morning. Those interested can watch the event live on www.microsoft.com/october2015event as well as on their Xbox.

While Microsoft has not offered much hint about the devices that would be unveiled on the occasion, it is expected to include the long-rumored post-Nokia Lumia smartphones. These two handsets are purportedly named the Lumia 950, code-named "Talkman," and the Lumia 950 XL, code-named "Cityman."

In terms of specs, the Lumia 950 is expected to feature a 5.2-inch QuadHD (144 x 2560p) display and be powered by a Snapdragon 808 with 3GB of RAM. It is likely to boast a PureView 20-megapixel rear camera. According to rumors, the front-facing camera will be 5-megapixels, and come with a wide-angle lens.

On the other hand, the Lumia 950 XL isexpected to be larger handset and there are rumors that it will sport 5.7-inch screen along with Quad HD graphics, a Snapdragon 810 SoC with 3GB of RAM, a 20-megapixel PureView rear camera and 5-megapixel front-facer. Meanwhile, the rumor mill is abuzz that the Lumia 950 XL may also feature a triple-LED flash.

According to reports, the new Lumia handsets will receive a lot of attention, but possibly not as much as a couple of other devices that Microsoft may unveil or provide more details about, such as the long rumored Surface Pro 4 and the HoloLens, which Microsoft unveiled in archetypal form earlier this year.

It will certainly be worth watching the live streaming of event only to see if Nadella has a new model of the improved reality helmet, or a release date, to share with the Windows community.
