Microsoft has reportedly declared that Microsoft Lumia is the new brand name that will replace Nokia as the software maker.
The change followed a slow transition from Nokia.com over to Microsoft's new mobile site, and Nokia France will be the first country to use the new moniker "Microsoft Lumia" for its Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts, reported The Verge.
Other countries will undergo the same transition in the coming weeks.
The report said that Nokia is not going to go away fully with Microsoft scrapping the brand and will continue to exist as a separate company without its phones business.
However, it's not clear how Microsoft will label its future Windows phones as existing Lumia devices carry the Nokia logo at the front and back typically. Microsoft could either opt for just Lumia or Microsoft or even the lengthier Microsoft Lumia at the front and back.
