Microsoft Lumia 960, unreleased flagship phone’s images are out

Microsoft is now far behind the others in the smartphone race. The company signed the deal with Nokia years back with the aim of having its own hardware and software that work together.

Unfortunately, things didn't work as intended by Microsoft. The company's smartphone business was not successful. The recent reports that are making rounds on the internet do point out that the Redmond-based company is still having plans regarding a device based on Windows Phone. The Surface Phone aka Surface Mobile rumored to be in the works is a proof.

While the device was in the making, the Lumia lineup of smartphones was discontinued and the Lumia 960 never saw the light of the day.
