One of the biggest gripes among Windows phone devotees is a lack of high-powered devices as of late. How are you supposed to be a hardcore fan when most of the lineup is downright basic (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/19/microsoft-lumia-430/)? At last, though, Microsoft appears to be catering to that need for speed. Both Unleash the Phones (http://unleashthephones.com/2015/05/01/exclusive-microsoft-has-two-high-end-lumias-coming-this-year-specs/) and The Verge (http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/4/8544881/microsoft-lumia-phones-windows-10-features) understand that the Redmond crew is working on two range-topping Windows 10 phones, nicknamed Cityman and Talkman in a nod to Nokia's early handsets. They'd both be powerhouses with Quad HD screens, 3GB of RAM, 20-megapixel rear cameras, 5-megapixel front shooters and 32GB of expandable storage. It'd really boil down to your preference of screen size. The Talkman would be the mid-size model with a 5.2-inch display and a six-core processor (likely the LG G4's (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/28/lg-g4-preview-fashion-and-firepower-collide-hands-on/) Snapdragon 808), while the Cityman would up the ante with a 5.7-inch screen and an eight-core (possibly Snapdragon 810) chip.
