Softpedia reports that Windows Phone may soon get a new giant, with a 6.5 inch Windows 10 Mobile handset showing up on benchmarking site GFXBench. The handset is by Russian OEM Dexp and unfortunately is a low end affair, with a 720P screen, Quadcore processor which is likely the Snapdragon 210, Adreno 305 GPU and 1 GB RAM and 8 GB of storage. The Dexp Ixion W 5 sports a 13 megapixel rear and 5 megapixel front facing camera which can only manage 480P video, likely due to the CPU used. The Dexp Ixion W5 would be Depx’s second Windows Phone, with another Dexp Ixion W5 already on sale, with only a 5 inch screen. While the handset is clearly not aimed at high end buyers, with such a large screen and when paired with a Bluetooth keyboard it may make a good mobile office. Source : GFXBENCH

Microsoft announced earlier this year it would be shutting down a number of its Windows Phone apps, including Lumia Beamer, and today that particular app was updated to effectively retire it from circulation. Lumia Beamer was first developed and released by Nokia, under the Nokia Beamer label. It launched just over two years ago and allowed Lumia Windows Phone devices to beam its displayed content on any screen. Microsoft renamed the app to Lumia Beamer when it acquired Nokia's Devices and Services division in 2014.

A month ago Microsoft announced that they would make Lumia Camera available Lumia 1020 users on Windows 10 Mobile. The app has several features not available in Microsoft Camera, including DNG RAW support.
