First Lumia Smartphone With Microsoft Branding Spotted at TENAA

The details of smartphone with model number RM-1090 has been leaked online, courtesy Chinese regulatory authority TENAA. Microsoft Lumia RM-1090, which appears to be a low-end, supports dual-SIM functionality, as per the TENAA's certification.

Last month, Microsoft did hint at a new phone that would go on sale soon. The leaked handset, which appeared today, doesn't look like a high-end handset.

Little is known about the mysterious Windows Phone device. Naturally, details are still a little thin on the ground, as this appears to be a leak which has not emanated from Microsoft itself.

Windows Phone still struggles to gain considerable traction in China - world's most complicated smartphone market. For Microsoft, a low-end Windows handset may prove to be beneficial in the long run, instead of coming up with a premium device.
