Microsoft announced earlier this year a shift of how it would produce and sell phones. The company said it would release fewer devices and work to clear up the confusion about having too many variations of the same phone - and thanks to a new leak, we are getting a better look at what the company is going to release later this year.
The specs for three new phones, the Lumia 550, 750 and 850 have all surfaced from what appear to be internal documents. All of these phones are from the low to mid range and unfortunately, we still don't know much about the next flagship, generally referred to as the Lumia 940.
The specs for the phones are listed below:

Notably, all the devices use the same screen size, which means Microsoft could shifting to releasing one style of phone with a varying degree of specs and price points. Without any pictures of the devices, it's hard to tell if this is the case but it would not seem unreasonable to expect the company to streamline design and production with only internal specs differentiating the phones.
When Microsoft will announce these devices is not fully known either, many suspect we should see some sort of announcement at IFA which takes place in early September, which may include these devices and hopefully the next flagship too.
[Update] And it looks like these phones are ones that were canceled, according to Windows Central, hopefully you didnt have your eye on these.
