Speculations have recently prompted consumers to think that Surface Phone may eventually replace Lumia, after the new Microsoft Windows 10 was launched.

Of these, only Lumia 640 and Lumia 535 are now available in Microsoft’s UK stores.
Windows 10 was initially launched on July 29, promising users could “Do great things” with its familiar and easy to use feel while featuring synced data across all devices and a smarter virtual assistant. The new device for Windows has somehow downplayed issues surrounding the Lumia. These will bring in existing phones like Lumia 735 and Lumia 520 which are still selling in the UK.
That means you won’t necessarily be able to run desktop apps designed for Windows 7 or earlier.
As you can see in the photos, Microsoft is using a protective case for these prototypes, most likely in an attempt to hide the actual design of the device, but it’s very clear that Redmond has tried to reduce the bezel to the minimum in order to make the phone as light as possible. So far, SMS and Skype are fully integrated and Microsoft is working on integrating other popular messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp. Saana is known to be the successor of Lumia 830 and rumors of its cancellation has been ceased by the released of Planned Lumia Windows Phones that included the Saana itself.
Windows 10 Mobile will also support Qualcomm’s processors like the Snapdragon 208, 210, 615, 808 and the latest Snapdragon 810 chip for faster operability.
