Meanwhile, an announcement was made via an official Lumia tweet. The posting notes that Microsoft will launch new Windows 10 models as well.

Recently a new Lumia device with Microsoft branding appeared via a leak. Dubbed as Microsoft Lumia 940, the smartphone is expected to run on Windows 10 OS according to the leaked spec sheet, which could be the first smartphone to boast the latest Windows OS, reports PhoneArena.
