After the successful promotion of upcoming flagship Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL as well as Microsoft Band 2 and Surface Pro 4. The devices will be announced today and the only thing left joining them is the proper mid-ranged Lumia 550.

Microsoft working on more affordable flagships.

However, while other devices in rumor a recent speculation has hit the news room purporting a brand new device being designed by Microsoft pitched “affordable flagship”. Spec-wise, this is likely to be a successor of Lumia 830, but, in addition to this Lumia is working to make it a much tantalizing offer by changing the design and building the whole smartphone with metal body. This is interesting, after all Lumia left its same old plastic design for Lumia range and finally moving forward with more successful metal bodies.

For now we cannot share the specs as the rumor only accompanies the announcement of an inexpensive flagship, as it also not officially confirmed so take as pinch of salt.
