A few more pictures of the ready-to-be-announced Lumia 950 and 950 XL have popped up, just hours before the actual unveiling event, showcasing the two upcoming Microsoft handsets once again.

We get to see the PureView camera branding with ZEISS lens on the back one more time, indicating that Microsoft has gone all-out with the shooters on the new Lumias, and the rear cover of the Lumia 950 XL has been taken off, displaying the removable 3340 mAh battery, dual SIM and microSD slots for all to see.

Not only that, but on one of the pictures the phone flaunts the eerie Windows 10 desktop wallpaper that Microsoft built in a San Francisco studio with two installations, creating the logo by camera mapping, lasers, and projectors. This only reinforces the notion that Microsoft has now built something truly universal across screen sizes, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, as the tell-all event is just around the corner, and we'll be there liveblogging the festivities, and perusing those same handsets you see in the slideshow below.
