The Lumia 650 hasn't even been officially announced yet, however one retailer in the UK has already started listing it for pre-order along with the phone's specs, giving us a clearer idea of the 650's capabilities.

First spotted by our friends over at WinBeta, the Lumia 650 shows up on MobileFun.co.uk for a list price of £199, which places it in the mid-range, with specifications for the device also available on the page which are as follows:

Weight: 150g
Display: 5” 720 x 1280 pixels (~294 ppi pixel density)
Memory: 8GB (expandable up to 128GB)
RAM: 1GB
OS: Microsoft Windows Phone 10
Processor: Quad-core 1.1GHz
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1 with A2DP, Micro USB, GPS
Main camera: 8MP
Battery: Li-Ion 2000mAh battery

Previous reports seem to confirm what was already known about the device, although it's still unclear if the phone has a metal strip around the side, from the front view shots shown on MobileFun it does seem to indicate as much.

You can pre-order the black version of the Lumia 650 here ahead of its scheduled February 1 announcement.
