Lumia 535 is first in Nokia brand eradication strategy by Microsoft
The Devices and Services business of Finnish technology company Nokia, which was taken over by Microsoft in April 2014, has since faced a series of branding revamps.
Microsoft is squeezing out mention of Nokia, although for now it is sticking with the Lumia device brand. Windows Phone is also on its way out, and Microsoft will soon have created a world in which its devices are simply Microsoft branded using the Windows operating system.
In the case of the freshly announced Microsoft Lumia 535 smartphone, the only branding on the device is Microsoft.
The Lumia 520 was awarded the sobriquet of a 'best-seller' within its range in 2013, hence Lumia 535 could replicate the 520's success considering the former comes with better features, like the Microsoft Cortana voice assistant.
