Two models of the new Lumia models which will be officially unveiled today were discovered after a Microsoft leak

Two new models of Lumia 640- the 640 and 640 XL- have been discovered after a Microsoft leak.

The pair of low-end phones will be announced today at the Mobile World Conference 2015.

Microsoft’s news center accidentally published a blank article announcing the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL, two new Windows Phone devices. Rumors have suggested Microsoft is launching two new low-end devices, and the numbering scheme appears to indicate that’s the plan.

The Lumia 640 XL is presumably a bigger version of the Lumia 640, and it appears Microsoft is dropping part of its confusing numbering scheme in favor or the simplified XL moniker.

Both will have front and rear-facing cameras and the usual candy-colored replaceable cases. The devices will run a Snapdragon 400 processor and include 8GB of storage. These low-end devices should ship for $275 in the U.S., and a dual-SIM option could launch in India and Asia.

Microsoft will be making its official announcements today in Barcelona where the conference is holding.
