An announcement has made the rounds in the mobile community over the new Nokia Lumia 940's release at the end of summer this year.

PC Advisor released information on Nokia Lumia 940, one of the first ever Windows phones to run Microsoft Windows 10, slating its official release to be the end of summer 2015, citing the Lumia 930's U.K. sale date in July 2014.

Phone Arena has also released the Lumia 940 specs, which includes a 5-inch full HD display in 1080p protected by a Gorilla Glass 4 screen sheet. According to Tech Radar, this version of Gorilla Glass isn't available in the market as of yet, so the Lumia 940 may feature Corning's fourth generation tough specialized glass that's thin and light, yet damage resistant.
