Microsoft has marked the end of an era in the smartphone world by launching the first Lumia handset without the Nokia branding.
The Windows maker bought the Finnish technology firm in a £4.4 billion deal in April, and has now shifted its Lumia brand of phones into its own Windows Phone range, Mail Online reported.
The new smartphone in question is the Microsoft Lumia 535, which comes with either one or dual SIM card ports as needed, and a bundle of services and specs that Microsoft is calling "5x5x5".
"Lumia 535 comes with our 5x5x5 proposition," said Jo Harlow, corporate vice president for phones at Microsoft.
"Innovation should be available to everyone, and we are doing this through the very best integrated Microsoft services free and out-of-the-box, a 5 MP wide-angle front-facing camera and a spacious 5 inch, qHD screen - all at an affordable price."
The five key Microsoft services are Skype, Office, OneDrive, Cortana and OneNote.
Video-calling service Skype will be familiar to many users, as will Microsoft's Office suite.
OneDrive offers 15GB of free cloud storage, while OneNote is a notebook that has the ability to edit Office documents. Cortana is Microsoft's voice-based personal assistant.
Mobiles expert Rob Kerr from comparison site uSwitch says that this new smartphone shows there is no sentiment in the dog-eat-dog world of smartphones.
"By laying the Nokia brand name to rest, Microsoft is sending the message there's no room for nostalgia in the fast-moving mobile market.
"The path of least resistance would have been to use the Nokia name as a crutch, but Microsoft has loftier visions. And it's a tactic we've seen before when Sony dropped the Ericsson brand.
"The Lumia 535 is a strange launchpad for Microsoft to flex its muscles with as mobile maker. It's not a standout model, but an affordable, entry-level handset, and it's set to miss the Christmas shopping rush. But perhaps the point is to leave us wanting more."
Microsoft says the Lumia 535 will begin to ship in the UK sometime in early 2015, with the price quoted only as 110 euros (£86) for now, but will begin to surface in the US later this month.
