Microsoft is planning to launch its very first Lumia
smartphone on Tuesday. The software giant has started
teasing an unveiling for November 11th, with the tagline
of "Microsoft is delivering the power of everyday mobile
technology to everyone." Microsoft's teaser also
includes an orange curved Lumia device. Microsoft
officially unveiled its new branding for upcoming Lumia
handsets, and Tuesday’s launch will mark the first time
the company drops the Nokia name on its smartphones.
While many are hoping for a flagship phone, sources
familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the
company will launch a budget Lumia handset next week.
Recently leaked images revealed Microsoft’s first Lumia,
and the specifications indicate it will be a low-end
device targeted at the masses. It’s not clear how
Microsoft will name its first Lumia, and the company
could opt to ditch the number scheme that Nokia has
used in the past. Microsoft’s first Lumia will include a 5-
inch display with 1GB RAM, a 5-megapixel camera, and
1.2GHz Snapdragon processor. Surprisingly, Microsoft is
adding a forward-facing camera to this particular model,
something Nokia chose to cut from the recent low-end
Lumia handsets.
