It’s being expected that Microsoft is going to launch its flagship devices, frequently rumored as Cityman and Talkman, in October. The leaks have been popping out of somewhere from different sources.
Recently leaked picture with alleged Lumia 950 XL in it, also referred as the Cityman, is not something like what we are looking at right now. The latest press renders as shown above came directly from the famous Evan Blass (@evleaks) shortly after an image of a device, with pretty same design and USB cable attached to it and the dock, surfaced on a German website Dr. Windows.

These official press renders seem to be more like polycarbonate builds which has already been used on premium Lumia devices from Nokia but the design is more like the 820 and 620 devices. With camera hump on the back it also appears to have triple LED flash with PureView branding.
Following is what appeared on Dr. Windows website.

The last Lumia flagship device we’ve seen was from Nokia, the Lumia 930. It’s been over a year now when the smartphone was unveiled – check review of Lumia 930. After acquisition, Microsoft has launched a couple of Lumia mid-range and budget devices but the Windows Phone users have been waiting for a single flagship Lumia device from Microsoft since long.
While the person leaked them out is authentic with his leaks, you still should take it with a grain of salt. Also do tell us below in the comments how do you think about these flagship designs from Microsoft?
