Microsoft Lumia 650 press shot appears; unveiling delayed until the middle of this month?

We've showed you various images of the unannounced Microsoft Lumia 650 over the last couple of months, but today we can pass along the best look yet of the handset. Thanks to a tweet disseminated by Evan Blass (you probably know him by his Twitter handle of @evleaks), we have what appears to be a press shot of the phone.

We also have a run-down of the latest rumored specs for the device, starting with the 5-inch display. The screen will carry a 720 x 1280 HD resolution, and under the hood will be the Snapdragon 210 or Snapdragon 212 SoC. 1GB of RAM is inside, along with 8GB of expandable native storage. There is a rear-facing 8MP camera, and a 2000mAh battery keeps the generator humming. The Lumia 650 will support 4G LTE connectivity, and will come with the Lumia Glance Screen.

MobileFun U.K. allows you to reserve the unit even before it becomes official. The price works out to the equivalent of $284 USD.  The phone is offered in Black and White, and there is some speculation that Microsoft will try to sell the Lumia 650 to the enterprise as an affordable handset for employees. By the way, this model comes with Windows 10 Mobile pre-installed.

Originally expected to be announced this week, a software issue has reportedly pushed back the unveiling until the middle of this month. Perhaps Microsoft will decide to wait until the third week of February, when MWC 2016 opens in Barcelona, to make the Lumia 650 official. And yes, this could be the very last Lumia model as Microsoft is rumored to be prepping the Surface Phone.
