The Microsoft Lumia 650 XL was never released, but numerousleaks have been revealedto the public with some claiming it’s the Lumia 650 XL and some it’s the Lumia 850. The cancelled release of the phone didn’t stop hackerCalyx Hikarifrom successfully running Windows RT 8.1 PE on the device.

The video below (viaWBitalia) clearly shows the device and the software (we recommend that you mute the video):

Aside from the software, this video shows one of the models of the Lumia 650 XL, in this case the RM-1157, that only has one SIM-slot and a non-removable battery. Otherwise, it seems like a bigger version of the Lumia 650, and that is exactly what it should be.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
