Leaked: Microsoft Planning To Launch Three Phones This Year

While we do have a bit of information about the first one, the other two remain a mystery.

 

A schedule has leaked out, thanks to famed @EvLeaks, that shows three new handsets from Microsoft waiting to be announced this year. The handsets have been positioned for launch at two different time frames, but not too far apart. One will be out in July itself, while the other two can be expected in the month of September.

The first one, which is technically scheduled for launch this month, shows up on the roadmap as the RM-1017 which in all probability is the Lumia 530. The handset had leaked via a Windows Phone buying guide and has since then been pulled down from the website. Clearly, Microsoft is hiding something.

The next two tagged as the RM-984 and the RM-1028 have both been scheduled for an announcement as per the roadmap, in the month of August. We have no clue what these two handsets could be. The RM-984 may be the Lumia 820’s successor which showed up online a few days ago. While the RM-1028, could be the flagship ‘McLaren,’ which has been in the rumour mill for quite sometime now and is slated to introduce 3d touch to the Windows Phone platform.

One factor that seems certain, is that all of these handsets will come with the new ‘Nokia by Microsoft’ branding instead of just Nokia. Rumours do tell us its high time that Microsoft made a move regarding the brand name which recently also made an appearance on the rumoured Nokia Lumia 830 handset’s render.
