The recent acquisition of the Finnish company Nokia by Microsoft has led to many changes in this brand specialized in launching mobile phones with the Windows Phone operating system. One of the most controversial changes has been the disappearance of the Nokia X range, but far from ending there, a recent leak has revealed that another of Microsoft's decisions for the future could be to completely eliminate the Nokia name in the upcoming phones in the Lumia range. In this way, the Nokia Lumia 730 and the Nokia Lumia 830 would be the last phones in the Lumia range.to incorporate the Nokia name on its casing.
The information comes from an unofficial source that has revealed the appearance of a part of the template that Microsoft will use to create the names of its upcoming smartphones. As can be seen in this template, the name of each terminal will only consist of the word " Lumia " accompanied by a number. This last data has not yet been completely clarified, since there is also the possibility that Microsoft will end up using the name " Microsoft Lumia " to refer to the mobile phones that it will launch under its control. In either case, there is no doubt that Nokiait will have less and less presence in the new phones in the Lumia range that will be released in the coming months.
On the other hand, continuing with the integration and simplification process that Microsoft is carrying out in all its products, we have also learned that in the coming months the Windows Phone operating system will be referred to simply as Windows, just like the Windows Phone operating system. The computers. It would be a modification that would bring quite controversy in its first weeks of life, since it would be confusing to use the same name to refer to the mobile operating system and the computer operating system. This change is likely to be part of the update GDR2 of Windows Phone Phone 8.1, Which will bring additional innovations such as a quick option to enable / disable data rate or extended availability in most countries of the voice assistant Cortana.
To this day it is completely unknown which mobiles will be the next to land on the market under Microsoft's mandate. It should be borne in mind that the launch of the two most recent Nokia mobiles - the Nokia Lumia 730 and the Nokia Lumia 830 - has occurred during this same month of September, which means that probably until the end of the year we will not start listen to rumors related to a new mobile model of this range. Until then we will have to settle for the news that the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system is expected to receive through an update (corresponding to the name of GDR2) that could begin rolling out to developers in a matter of weeks.
