Good bye Nokia, Microsoft launched first Non Nokia Smartphone, Lumia 535

Microsoft launched first-ever non-Nokia Lumia smartphone, called the Lumia 535. The phone looks much like previous Lumia incarnations with an obvious branding difference. Gone are the Nokia logos, replaced instead by Microsoft’s name on the front — above the screen and written horizontally on the colorful back of the device.
