Microsoft to rebrand Nokia to Microsoft Lumia.Microsoft is ready to rebrand the Nokia and Windows Phone monikers. The company will be using Microsoft Lumia instead of Nokia Lumia.
Microsoft Lumia is the new brand name that takes the place of Nokia for the software maker. The name change follows a slow transition from Nokia.com over to Microsoft's new mobile site, and Nokia France will be the first of many countries that adopt "Microsoft Lumia" for its Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts. Microsoft has confirmed to The Verge that other countries will follow the rebranding steps in the coming weeks.
It is worth noting that Nokia, the part that Microsoft didn’t acquire in its $7.2 billion deal which closed in April this year, remains unaffected by this rebranding. It remains to be seen what logo and brand name Microsoft sculps on the future Windows Phone devices, and whether this move helps the company improve its phone’s market share
