At that time Nokia introduced their E and N series in market that was not at all a success. And then Microsoft bought it. Initially it didn\u2019t give a good business to Microsoft too but then brand was recognized by the people and Nokia was lifted by Microsoft. Nokia Lumia series was introduced and the brand just surpassed all its boundaries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When the decision of renaming the brand was taken, the major question was how it would affect the Microsoft\u2019s market. If you manage to notice that if we talk about Windows Phone most of the people call it Lumia, very less people say Nokia Lumia. So this was it renaming Nokia to Microsoft was made final. And one Nokia makes way for Microsoft Mobiles the Lumia branding will remain unaffected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930.jpg\" alt=\"Lumia 930\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930-210x210.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930.jpg\" alt=\"Lumia 930\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lumia-930-210x210.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With green light on in United States and Europe, Microsoft will soon try to rebrand the smartphone series as soon as possible. But China where Microsoft\u2019s smartphone are being manufactured still have some paper work to do. So this can take a little bit time but Microsoft is sure that at the start of 2015 there smartphone will be carrying their name.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Suppliers are being notified that Microsoft will be adjusting their product name and with no delay Microsoft will be providing them with new smartphones and we are hoping that the rest of the stock will be replaced by Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moreover, Satya Nadella CEO Microsoft told that they have now got advantage like Apple to build software and hardware all under one roof and control everything.
