Microsoft has released a teaser about the launch of a new Lumia smartphone tomorrow. The device under limelight is a Nokia branded device, and interpreting the tweet, we expect the device to be none other than the Lumia 735 that was announced in September at the IFA in Berlin.
The Nokia Lumia 735 is somewhat identical to the Nokia Lumia 730, which was launched in India in October last year. Although the Lumia 735 supports connectivity options such as single-SIM and 4G LTE in contrast to the Lumai 730 that supports dual-SIM connectivity without 4G LTE. The tweet (below) made by the Lumia account drops many clues such as the Nokia brand, the wide selfie-cam and that it belongs to the Lumia series. The Lumia 730 was endorsed on the basis of its ‘wide-selfie’ feature, therefore, hidden clues in the teaser point towards the launch of its 4G counterpart Lumia 735 in India.
