Microsoft’s Windows 10 Mobile platform is arriving too late to make the IFA trade show in Berlin, Germany at the start of September. Microsoft may be at the event, but the company will not offer many details or new products because Windows 10 Mobile is expected to be announced in October with a November launch.

In October the company will likely unveil all the full details on Windows 10 Mobile, but more importantly (arguably) we will get to see the company’s new range of smartphones at the same event. Redmond could certainly use some spark in its handset range as sales have dropped off and there is a distinct lack of flagship quality in the range.

Luckily, the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL are expected to rejuvenate the Windows platform, at least from a hardware perspective. They are going to match current generation flagships and will be revealed in October alongside a new Surface and Surface Pro.
