Microsoft has been very quiet on the mobile front lately, but all of that is supposed to come to an end today, at Microsoft's New York event. Most notably, the company is expected to finally introduce a new flagship Windows-powered smartphone, with the last ones of this kind being the aging Nokia Lumia Icon and its international variant, the Nokia Lumia 930.
The rumor mill has already managed to generate quite a bit of evidence that we're going to see two new high-end, Windows 10 phones today, the Microsoft Lumia 950 flagship, and the Lumia 950 XL phablet. Along with these handsets, Redmond is also expected to reveal the Surface Pro 4 tablet and the Microsoft Band 2 fitness wearable. There's also speculation for there being "one more thing", but we'll have to wait and see what that is.
Whatever it is that Microsoft is going to announce today, our liveblog is here (and the livestream is here) to keep you updated with all the news from the event. Excited? We sure are! Check out the times below to see when the event is going to kick off!
