Microsoft’s Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL and Lumia 550 come pre-installed with the Windows 10 Mobile OS. The tech giant’s rollout plan to upgrade some of the older Lumia smartphones to the latest OS has also been revealed. Now, a mystery Windows 10 handset with Qualcomm's impressive Snapdragon 820 chipset on board has made its way to the GFXBench benchmark testing site.

Nokia Power User has ferreted out the screenshot of the benchmark configuration of a new device. As it turns out, the unnamed handset goes by the codename “HP Falcon.” This device reportedly comes with a huge 5.8-inch display and 2,560 x 1,440 pixels QHD screen resolution. Under the hood, as mentioned earlier, Windows 10 Mobile and Snapdragon 820 chipset take charge.

When it comes to Snapdragon 820, this powerful chip is manufactured with the help of the efficient 14nm process with 64-bit architecture on board. It works in conjunction with Qualcomm’s Kryo cores. Plus, the graphics side of things is taken care by Adreno 530 GPU. This graphical unit has been reported to work 40 percent faster than the Snapdragon 810’s Adreno 430, according to Winbeta.

Speaking of camera specifications, there is a cool 20 MP primary sensor, in addition to a gracious 12 MP secondary snapper to capture selfies. According to the listing, this phone comes backed by just 1 GB of RAM and an interesting 43 GB of internal storage space.

It is worth noting that, frequently, benchmark testing sites get the RAM and storage configurations wrong. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the 1 GB RAM on a high-end device is nothing but a mistake.

Meanwhile, GSM Arena says, although the device has “HP” as part of the codename, the company has not announced any plan to get into the smartphone venture yet. But then, Microsoft has been reported to be working on a high-end handset to trump its own Lumia 950 XL. Hence, it goes without saying that the upcoming device could very well be a Lumia smartphone.

Nevertheless, readers are advised to take the Lumia-related information with the proverbial pinch of salt as the companies involved have not confirmed any report thus far.
