Bumper Microsoft event with new Surface and Lumia hardware rumored for October, what is it ?

Microsoft is rumored to be holding a bumper event in October, this issue will develop by microsoft company. so where it’ll reveal a whole new collection of hardware, including the long-expected new Lumia smartphones, the Surface Pro 4 tablet, and even a sequel to the Microsoft Band fitness wearable. What’s more, the rumors also say Microsoft has a few surprises in store. The news comes from Chinese website WPDang, and The Verge stated afterwards its own sources confirm the upcoming launch.

Following the introduction of Windows 10 and the expected arrival of the new mobile version, Microsoft is likely to concentrate on its Lumia and Surface hardware, which does mean we may not get to see anything other than more mid-range fare from the company at the IFA tech show in September.

We’ve been hearing rumors about a Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL for a while, and specifications for both devices have been leaked, but the design is still a mystery. Microsoft hasn’t released any flagship Lumia-branded phones since taking over Nokia’s Devices Division, but has launched a stream of mid-range devices — including several at last year’s IFA show.

The Surface Pro 4 has also been mentioned in previous rumors, but not in much detail, although there have been reports production was gearing up for an October launch — adding weight to these latest stories. The mobile products may be joined by the Microsoft Band 2, the follow-up to the original Band, which didn’t attract the most positive reviews. There are no details on how the sequel may change.

How about those surprises? An intriguing rumor about a Surface smartphone seems to fit in well with the October event theme, and would make it a highly mobile-centric gathering. However, exactly how a Surface phone would sit alongside Microsoft’s Lumia-branded phones isn’t clear. There’s no doubt its arrival would be a surprise, though. Additionally, The Verge mentions the possibility of “additional Surface hardware” at the event, which also ties in with talk of the phone. Plus, although the project was cancelled by Microsoft last year, there’s an outside chance the Surface Mini tablet may rise from the dead.

There’s no date or official confirmation of the event yet, but we’ll keep you informed.
