Teaser suggests a mid-range smartphone is on the way
MICROSOFT HAS RELEASED some details about its first non-Nokia branded Lumia smartphone, which is scheduled to launch on 11 November.
Microsoft confirmed last month that it intended to ditch the Nokia brand on Windows Phone devices following its acquisition of the company, replacing it with Microsoft Lumia.
"In the coming weeks and months, you’ll start seeing even more brand experience come to life across different channels as we transition from Nokia Lumia to Microsoft Lumia," the firm said.
Microsoft offered a very brief teaser on Friday about the first phone to come with the new branding, which it said will be unveiled on 11 November.
"Microsoft is delivering the power of everyday mobile technology to everyone," the firm said, hinting that it will unveil a mid-range Windows Phone device rather than an expensive high-end model.
The posting also includes an image of a curved orange-coloured device with a focus on the front-facing camera, suggesting that it could be a cheaper version of the Nokia Lumia 735.
Chinese website Sina Weibo claims to have revealed some of the features of the incoming device, which seem to confirm that it will be inexpensive.
If the leak is legit, we can expect Microsoft's first Lumia smartphone - which is tipped to launch as the Lumia 520 or Lumia 525 - to feature a 5in display, a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB RAM and a 5MP rear-facing camera.
That's all we know for now, so check back on Tuesday for all the latest.
