You might have heard quite a bit of hullabaloo in October when Microsoft announced that they intend to drop the “Nokia” title from their Windows phones. The new phones are now being referred to as
Lumia devices. The first ever Lumia device without the Nokia title is expected to be announced tomorrow, November 11. A
teaser announcement was broadcasted by Microsoft late last week. The invite featured the tagline, “Microsoft is delivering the power of everyday mobile technology to everyone.”
As the title suggests, the first Nokia-free Microsoft Lumia device won’t be a flagship phone, but will instead be yet another budget device designed for everyone and anyone. Reports suggest that the device will be a 5 inch phone with dual-SIM slots and mid to low range specs. Mobile Syrup posted a
sneak peek of an orange case last month, although as it didn’t have the ‘Lumia’ name on the case, we’re not 100% sure the case is a Lumia device.
Amidst a sea of mid grade devices currently on the market, I’m a little surprised they didn’t decide to kick off the new Lumia device line with a stunning new flagship, but I suppose that a phone anyone could afford is a safer bet. When we get more information we will post it, so be sure to check back tomorrow for more details on the device!]]>
