Microsoft have decided to completely discontinue the use of the name "Nokia" in favor of "Lumia".
We all know that Microsoft have already re branded the "Nokia" apps to "Lumia" apps in the app store and have launched a new website, Microsoft Mobile Devices that redirects from Nokia's website.
Although Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's handsets division was completed in April for $7.2 billion, we've still seen devices released under the Finnish brand over the past several months. The company's recently launched Lumia 730 and 830 phones sport Nokia branding but it's believed the two devices are the last ones to carry that name. It's also expected that Microsoft will soon do away with the 'Phone' in the name of its mobile operating system Windows Phone. During the unveiling of Windows 10, Microsoft had announced that it will merge all platforms under a single Windows product.
Nokia still exists as a separate company based in Finland that focuses on location based services including Here maps, and network equipment. Nokia had agreed to not make a smartphone or phone carrying the Nokia brand till the end of 2015.
