Leaked Microsoft McLaren vs Apple iPhone 6
The Microsoft McLaren (aka Nokia Lumia 1030) was expected to be the next flagship Windows Phone, with high end hardware and a PureView camera in tow. While Microsoft claims that they have scrapped the McLaren project altogether, we keep seeing the device leaked in various forms. The most recent leak, compares various photos of the Microsoft McLaren alongside the Apple iPhone 6.
You can also clearly see the label on the device saying it is a 'prototype property of Microsoft Mobile', indicating it wasn't something Nokia was working on.
The most interesting aspect of the McLaren is the protruding camera, which seems even larger than the one we saw on the Nokia Lumia 1020. Unfortunately this does not help us measure it in any way. However, the Xenon flash has notably been replaced with one of the dual-LED variety.
Having the large sensor has its advantages and disadvantages. Obviously, the 41MP camera on the Lumia 1020 was a big hit with camera enthusiasts. Unfortunately the large sensor makes the device quite bulky, as you will see next to the iPhone 6. This makes it hard to pocket and therefore not something the general consumer may consider picking up.
In any case it is clear that Microsoft is (or has been) working on a new flagship device. While it is not clear if the company will follow this design or when the eventual successor to Lumia 1020 will arrive, we hope we wont be kept too long.

Leaked images show likely Lumia 1020 successor
The Lumia 1020 is a unique looking device with an enormous 41-megapixel camera attached to its back. This photo-centric smartphone was released around 15 months ago, and despite rumors, there hasn't been any physical evidence of its successor - until now.
These recently discovered images show a device with similar dimensions of the Lumia 1020 sporting a combination of aluminum and polycarbonate materials. While its more than likely that the device is a clever fake, the general overall look indicates that it could be the Microsoft's rumored McLaren, which the company decided to canceled in July.
The McLaren was expected to succeed the Lumia 1020 and arrive sometime in December. It was also expected to feature a 3D Touch UI, with Xbox Kinect-like gestures for Windows Phone. Microsoft is continuing to look into 3D Touch for future smartphones, but decided to scrape McLaren's 2014 launch.
A closer look at the alleged prototype shows a few other differences from the Lumia 1020, mainly that an LED flash has replaced the Xenon and the physical hardware buttons on the bezel have been replaced with software buttons.
