Microsoft To Release Last Lumia Version, To Introduce New Surface Phone?
After Nokia shut down and ever since Microsoft Corporation replaced its devices with Lumia mobile phone versions, its market status has been inconsistent. Thus, it be releasing one last Lumia device and reportedly substitute it with a surface phone.
Due to several troubles of not doing well in the markets, reports claimed that Microsoft Corporation is planning to release another and probably the last version of Lumia: Lumia 650.
Though Microsoft has not yet revealed anything about these speculations, Lumia 650 reportedly will have a 5-inch 720 screen display, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, Snapdragon 210 processor, and 5 megapixel front-facing camera and rear-facing 8 megapixel camera.
However, ending the Lumia devices of Microsoft may not really mean their end as it is preparing to launch another premium smartphone; the Surface phone.
According to Geeksnack, Microsoft will attempt to revitalize its sales by providing an all-new high-end hardware with premium design device using surface monogram. Furthermore, reports claimed that this would be its strategy to at least keep up with competition with Samsung and Apple.
Speculations of the said Surface phone have been circling the web. It all started when a poster on Reddit discovered that surfacephone.com redirected to Microsoft's general Surface page.
The Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book are the modest contributors to Microsoft Corporation's finance, but they grew within the last quarter of the previous year. According to Microsoft, Surface devices generated up to 20 percent more or $1.35 billion in an annual basis. With its growth, the company is no doubt slowly establishing a high-end brand and innovative Windows device.
Though it is still unconfirmed, Lumia 650 is reportedly to be up and reliable.Tech leaker Evan Blass posted a photo of the rumored smartphone and teased about the said last Lumia device.
