A year after Microsoft acquired Nokia's phone business, the company is reportedly planning to return to the consumer mobile market as early as next year.
However, it's unclear how the company is planning on making a comeback as it is currently restricted from using the Nokia brand on phones until Q4, 2016, reported The Verge.
The rumour came just days after the firm announced its plan to acquire telecoms equipment company Alcatel-Lucent in a 16.6 dollar deal.
