Microsoft Mobile Oy has published a small teaser article on the old Nokia Conversations blog, revealing a countdown for June 24th. Not giving much away, the company teases that "summer brings out our inner glow... stay tuned to Conversations to find out what we've got in store". We're not entirely sure what the company will announce, but since it's green (similar to teasers for the Nokia X), it's possible we'll see an X2 (as previously rumored) or even a mention of the green Nokia Lumia 1520.
It's hard to resist the green Lumia 1520.
We previously looked at why the Nokia X is not only bad for Android, but Windows Phone and Nokia (the handset division, now part of Microsoft Mobile) too. That said, read through our in-depth review of the Nokia X, if you're interested in the family of Android smartphones. Be sure to check back in three days to see what Nokia plans to announce, be it Android or Windows Phone.
Are you waiting for the green Lumia 1520? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Microsoft teases possible launch date of a green Lumia or successor to the X
Pages
Samsung Mobile Price in Pakistan is getting better than before.Because it was very expensive . it was not very easy to buy these mobile speople were prefering nokia.
Try turning your phone off and then back on. If it still doesnt work take the battery out blow into it and put it back in and turn the phone on x http://www.mobile-phone.pk/
Edit : OOps. I want to add time remaining but what i got here?? hmmm
Green 1520!!! I have waited to upgrade just because of this phone.
Initially i myself was laughing at microsoft when they said NOKIA X will help new customers switch to Lumia, and was like its crap, BUT over time Microsoft was right.
Nokia X is not for the developed markets, its for those making a shift to the smartphones or using chinese androids.
Couple of months bak i bought a lumia, couldnt adjust to it, lack of apps, lack of notification led (520) etc etc.Then i bought X as a secondary phone and a chance to play with the development, after using it for 2 months i tried switching to lumia, and this time the same phone seemed so better and perfect.
So the Nokia X did make a base for my switch to lumia, now waiting for 1320..
X2 i guess because x1 is losing their ass to asus zen phones which are cheaper, better and no dumb nokia store.
Doesn't that look like the dual-shot cover of the 620? The phrase "inner glow" seem to make it more likely to be something that has dual-shot. It makes me believe we won't see the green Lumia 1520... at least not yet. My guess is that it's either a new Asha (which would be weird at this point), a new low-end Lumia (530?), the X2 or maybe Nokia - ehr - Microsoft would totally surprise us or something. :P
Fingers crossed that it is the 930.
Apparently everybody here forgot that the 24th of June is when Microsoft officially starts supporting WP 8.1.
No newly designed and special mobile for a long long time now
Microsoft & Nokia,
When will the Lumia 730 be launched ?
Posted via the WPC App for Android!
I'm thinking Asha with two tone, the way the mention "inner glow".
I'm waiting for the green 1520 :(
Please please kill that X crap already.. I sure hope this has nothing to do with anything Android. Microsoft has a great opportunity to let the X and the like series die..
Thing is, Windows Phone has yet to hit a price point in developing markets and lacks apps crucial to their success in these markets. Nokia X is very important because it provides those afford at the desired price point, while giving enough similarity to Windows Phone that upgrading users may be more apt to purchase a Lumia than another Android phone.
Oy!
I suppose Nokia X are important in some markets I guess Microsoft would prefeer people to buy Windows Phone 8 devices.
But if not better Nokia X than Google Play Android devices. And I think they will continue with them since they put a much effort to port Android apps to that platform:

Summer brings out our inner glow? The X on the Xbox logo has a nice glow to it. Microsoft mobile teased it. Conclusion: Xbox Phone! ;P
Green Lumia 1520 yes yes yes
I am guessing of a Lumia tablet ..... :-)
Looks nice
I hope it's about WP 8.1 official rollout. Would also be nice if all the newer phones were launched in green to make everyone jealous with envy.
ATT 1520 & 635, Cricket 1320, VZW 930, TMO 635.
Okay!
Now i am waiting for google to launch a windows phone! :D
I wish Google already released their apps into WP app ecosystem like MS did into Android's appstore.
I wish it was the L730
A phone with true edge to edge.. 5-5.5" 4gb ram. 16,32,64,128,512 gb variant. Microsd options for 16 or 32gb. Octa core 3.0ghz processor. An aluminum or unibody option plus 41 megs of camera without bump. Super thin!
With that.. Have my money!! :)
Will Nokia 1520 green version would be any different from the actual 1520?
Nope!
Z launcher coming
I don't see why they just don't put Windows Phone 8.1 on it. That would be the best thing for them to do.
hope they release windows phone8.1
I wanted orange.
+1.
I don't give a flip if it's anything Android. As far as I'm concerned, Android just blemishes the Nokia and Microsoft name.
I miss my Cyan Lumia 900. I wish they would bring that color back.
I would love the 1520 in Green but after recently contacting @nokia_uk direct they told me it was US exclusive and only Black,White,Red would be available UK. So unless they have had a sudden change of heart I think it is more likely Nokia X related! But one can only hope!!??
If Microsoft makes 2 billion a year off android then why don't they release a badass android phone then they could possibly beat Samsung then they would be on top in Android and of course windows which leaves little left for apple and black berry
That will hurt alot!
If they had to launch a new phone they would have organised a press event .
I don't mind this while X series except that I know for every one they launch, that could have been a new Lumia, more r&d on planned Lumias, or effort to get these devices to market sooner. A 530 needs to happen very soon. And at lest for the US, a flagship replacement is needed on all carriers.
Maybe the Lumia 730, or even the 830. IT HAS to be one of these!
Well, I am not convinced about the rant about nokia x family. It seems very narrow sighted. I still find it quite beneficial actually. First, it seems that they are selling quite well specially the xl and they are generating a good amount of interest, the nokia xl and samsung galaxy s5 have been swapping 1st and 2nd places in the gsmarena daily interest for a few weeks.
Second, they are not interfering with the lowend WP devices, since they are not sold in developed countries and low end wp devices are not really penetrating the lowend market in developing countries, so let Microsoft penetrate it in a way or another ( nokia x). After all this is means to an end which is making people more familiar with the modern UI, eventually to the real deal of windows devices.
Finally, this family of device obviously has nothing to do with "android" or android fans, any one whose mind has gone with this direction, has gone wrong. Those who are after android for it purely have probably moved long ago and not coming back . It has to do with attracting first time smartphone users with this equation : nokia amazing hardware + android catalogue of apps. If you can't get these customers with WP, better get them anyway. Elop emphasised this several times at the announcement of the devices.
Anyway, the writing is on the wall. It's most probably a nokia x2, and that's not a bad thing. Microsoft would not have invested more in this series, unless they are selling well and fulfiling their purpose. All this leads to more customers under the Microsoft umbrella...and more cash....i.e more money on developing awesome devices and awesome features for WP/windows.
And come on people, praying and hoping for a green 1520, is that ur utmost wish???. The 1520 was a bad move already leading to a worse move of delaying the 930, it hasn't even entered the most used 15 WP devices in Adduplex reports till now. If you really dispise the nokia x family and wish for a WP device, then wish for a 530 that would generate more sales or a 1030 that would define what a 2014 camerphone should be. But no, lets hope that Microsoft makes the worst move ever, make a 6 month old niche product, that poorly sold, more niche. I am really hoping that it's either a lumia 530 or a nokia x2 for Microsoft's sake ( a 1030 would have a more hyped announcement, plus the 930 has just been released).
They're not gonna go that big an announcement just to introduce a green variant of the 1520.
WPC App for Android- Lenovo IdeaTab A3000
I know people here hate the verge but if you read their article on the matter there's no doubt it's the X2. What a waste of resources.
Era of dawn has begun =((((
It will be x2 and the next one will be X- The Last Stand :D
:D
Then maybe microsoft should also start working on "Wolverine"..
How many devices are in that picture? Something fishy going on. Hope not a reaction to Micromaxx!
This is too bright to be the green 1520
I guess it will be for Lumia lineups. Yes, we need our weapons to expand now, please microsoft do it!
It is Nokia X2 with Z launcher...:)
X? I heard they couldn't give the first one away. You bail any everything else (ahem, Zune) but you hang on to that bastard of a phone?
I'm hoping its a viable replacement for the 920! Of course I'm not of contact until November, so I'm in no hurry. :)
Oh man I want that soooo bad!!!!! Green Green Green Green!!!!!!!
WPCentral and guys i think this the successor..
http://whatmobile.com.pk/Nokia_X-Plus
The Nokia X+ was announced along the Nokia X and XL in case you weren't paying attention ;)
I hate that Nokia X thingy!!
Yes I'll take a green Lumia 1520 if they release it to T-Mobile.
What about the new lumia mid-range phone that was rumored to be announced this month-end or was it a successor to the X....?
Eagerly waiting for a mid-range Lumia to be announced !!
Yeah. Is this Nokia or Microsoft?
Microsoft. Rich hasn't learned the difference yet.
Post title is a little misleading .. should be "Microsoft teases possible ... Nokia Lumia ...". In all likelyhood, phones launch over the next 12 months will still include Nokia label. But make no mistake it is a Microsoft product. From what I recall, Microsoft is managing Nokia.com for a period.
Nop. No further Lumia will carry the Nokia brand as Microsoft lacks the rights to use it on new devices.
there is no Nokia.. only Zuuul..err.. I mean Microsoft.
My understanding is that Microsoft can reference and use "Nokia" up until 12/31/2015 on smartphone products. Existing and future phones launched by the former Nokia handset division are now Microsoft products. Agreed?
They need to have a pink lumia. My aunt bought the lumia 900 because it was pink. Now apple has a pink iphone 5c so alot of people will buy that because of color. Her upgrade is coming up soon, I told her about lumia 1520 but she said it was too big. So if there is no new high end windows phones announced soon she will probably get android. Amazon phone, moto x (has pink), iphone 5c (also pink) , etc.
Posted via Windows Phone Central App
Isn't that the launch date for WP8.1? A green 1520 would make sense.
Yes,but only for the support. The actual release for older Lumias is probably in July.
Am I the only one around here, who actually likes the X-series?
Me here...... Solely because of what it did with Google and its services.......
No, me too.
It would be nice if it is an announcement for 8xx Windows 8.1 phones.
Is yellow a dead color now?
I totally agree with the writers at Android Central. Nokia X is bad for everyone.
It'll just frustrate people and push them away from Nokia and Microsoft services. Better off separating another Windows Phone low-end family and keep "Lumia" for more high end phones. Nokia X running Windows Phone and you know if you want something good, should'a got a Lumia.
I hope it's a new line for the Lumia 820/720, for Windows Phone 8.1.
Obviously that's Nokia x successor, green Lumia 1520 doesn't have the shiny green surface.
It's the 1030 :)
Powered by a environment friendly fuel cell that last for a year before refill :P
Therefore the green
Shit hate Android man! My bro brought new htc Android phone mine Lumia525 we both exchanged.. Couldn't live without windows even for a day! Android suckss!!! So laggy.... Funniest part is in Android you can pull notification centre only wen u in home screen :D holy crap!!
dont talk crap. i have both a lumia 925 as my main phone and htc one m7 as a backup. My m7 never acts "laggy" so stop lying.
Higher specs compared with a mid range. Dude HTC ones competitor is 930 and 1520
How about Moto G then? I have one. It is as smooth as a newborn baby buttock.
Actually, if you rub both of them at your face at the same time, you'll find it might even be a bit smoother.
What HTC Android phone? Could you be more specific? Notification bar can be pulled from anywhere just fine on all the HTC phones I've owned (One S, One M7, One M8), and all of them are blazing fast, especially those with Sense 6.

Are there any numbers about nokia x market share/ sold units...?
Probably only when Q2 reports come out. I don't think they did yet. But judging by the sales in China alone, I'd wager it did well in emerging markets.
It must be Nokia X2. I've received that information on a China web.
But i love the Z Launcher...haha
could it be a new Lumia?
That video.... with Dan sipping an Apple martini in the back! lol. Thanks Rich...
Why don't just Nokia make themselves a GREAT Android Phone?
Because Nokia can't make any phones till 2016.
Because Android LAGS ?
Wait until 2016. They can't release one before that. Until then, if you have an Android phone, you can Alpha test their Z launcher ;)
I have a Tab Pro. I can't install that. I want to though. I have a Windows Phone but the pacing is really slow. I'm considering other platforms again. I'm not bored but I'm frustrated that a lot of my daily apps doesn't get updates or are very subpar. I'll be with y'all until next year until my contract is up but if Microsoft gets their shit together, Imma stay since I'm too in love with the interface and fluidity.
The Z launcher only works on phones for now and not all of them (rooted devices don't run it). It's still in Alpha though so plenty of time.
Technically we call it "pre-beta" but yes we have much to do there. It is an exciting and hopeful time at Nokia now
Because they'd be in the same situation as HTC is in. Blah blah, blahblahblah. Go ahead, ahhsk the internet
Waiting for 1520 on Verizon...
Isn't it too soon for an X successor? Even for an android phone. It came out like what? Four month ago.
Could be a new Lumia , don't they have one in the pipeline? A US inbound one?
Also could be the Green 1520 ... With 8.1 & Cyan preinstalled
From all the articles Daniel and co. Posted, Nokia stated that there may be many more coming in the family of different sizes. Akin to how we have various Lumia. It does seem a bit too early for a successor but then again android is known for it so who knows.
Yea, could be.
NOT A LAGDROID.....PLEASE
That ugly shade of green is the Nokia X green. The Lumia 1520 green is darker than that. This is a Nokia X teaser.
Ahem ahem..correction..This is MS X teaser
That's actually the dual-shot Lumia 620 shade of green (yellow and green/blue together), and I quite like it. The Nokia X has a much darker shade of green
This is Microsoft Mobile. Stop calling it Nokia, Rich. Haven't you learned yet?
Nokia is a separate company working on other things, including Android launchers.
Ohhh cmon...did you read the agreement of branding of the company 18 mos for Lumias, 3 years for Asha and X models, 10 years for feature phone...before it change to MS Mobile...still Nokia until the specific timelines
I read it, you didn't. Microsoft does NOT have the right to use the Nokia branding except for S30 and S40 phones. The right they have to use it on Lumia devices is for MARKETING of existing devices only.
So, no. This is NOT Nokia. It's Microsoft Mobile and should be called by what it is. Nokia is an independent company.
Technically, if this is an ad for the green 1520, that would be an existing device. So by your explanation, Rich's use of the Nokia name would not be incorrect.
Heh, true. But it is incorrect through branding as Nokia as a company isn't making any new hardware. While a confusing transition, in the wise words of Ballmer: Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft!
It will still be announced by Microsoft Mobile. If it is a 1520, the phone is a Nokia, the company announcing it isn't.
While true, the terms changed since the first time. The phones will be called Nokia for the foreseeable future.
Feature phones will. Smartphones will not. And at any rate the company making the devices that say NOKIA on them is called Microsoft..
There is a real Nokia and I work there (on the Z Launcher)
Yes we are an independent company. DJCBS is right
I specifically looked in the comments section just to find your comment.
I was not disappointed. :D
(they do need to stop though)
Yah, DJCBS is the man!
Oh, believe me, I do indeed know the difference. Always have. We continued to use Nokia (as did other publications) and have only recently transitioned fully to Microsoft on said coverage. Old habits die hard. I've rectified the article.
But I do appreciate being called out on, need to strive for perfection!
Great. Now be more careful next time. You're still quite prone to calling Microsoft Mobile "Nokia" and saying that Nokia is now Microsoft.
I'm glad you strive for perfection. I'll be around to make sure you don't slip again, mate ;)
Wouldn't have it any other way, DJCBS! My day would be boring without you! :-P
Who gives a flying fuck!! Surely I don't.
I love those glow in the dark thingies :-)
Its got to be about the green 930
This is the roll out day for Windows 8.1
No, that's when WP's official support starts. The actual release for older Lumias will probably be in July.
Personally am hopping that this is a hint for rollout of Cyan (8.1) update on Lumia devices seeing that Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1's lifecycle officially start on the 24th June 2014
cyan seriously?...hinting cyan with a green something photo?
... Maybe the green is Colorblind-Friendly Cyan?
Greeeeen is the New Cyan.... hehehe adding to the confusing exitement. Hope its a Lumia worth the wait.
Microsoft, not Nokia. Unless its already 2016...
+1
DJCBS: how old are you exactly? Mentally I mean
It's impossible to resist to the Green 1520. I wish It will be possible to change my black shell to a green one.
Pretty sure you can if you go to a Nokia care point!
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!!!!!!!

Quit acting like a child & delete your comment.
I reported that with a fix, but they don't listen.
Keep them coming until they fix it! :P
You broke my wpcentral app.
No kidding.
The author seems to be concerned or might be praying for green L1520... Lol
I'm praying! I'm praying!
I gather you mean MS Mobile?
Hold my hand to gain more powers.
Plus isn't windows phone 8.1 supposed to launch on the 24th. Probably is the Lumia model
It's the official support of WP 8.1 beginning on the 24th. The launch date will be different for different carriers, phones and countries. Although the non-carrier models will receive the updates first.
I hate the X Series! This is clearly something that was not needed.
Agree.
Agree
But I'm pretty sure there was a Nokia X2 device I had it it's not a smartphone, can they announce new phone with old name ?
lol I thought the same! Good old Nokia X2 :D
Now that you mentioned it i remember, I had a classmate who had an X2-01... It was a QWERTY keypad s40 series phone, good piece of hardware for such a low price...
It was better than blackberry curve
Agree 100%
Lol at the Nokia x...its been awhile since wpc randomly posted articles on it. i hope it is the green 1520. I wanted the green one and I now got my Pikachu yellow one.
The yellow is awsome
Too true! Love my yellow one also. That said, that green... that green!
Aka mucous green
I'm curious why Microsoft Mobile isn't being used instead of Nokia. Is Nokia the brand used as the event sponsor? Just curious here. I'm just wondering when MSFT will stop using the Nokia name on new events.
Microsoft didn't use the Nokia name. Rich does because he still hasn't learned the difference. Or he is just too lazy to learn it...
In the photo, you can clearly see the website name: conversations.nokia.com. So there's going to be some overlap until Microsoft figures out the branding.
My guess is if it was already in the pipeline before the acquisition was completed they had to finish it. Marketing and development, ECT.
It wont be as fast as that. You can still see websites of nokia phones when you browse.
Wpcentral had an article about this last week, MS will still be using Nokia branding on the products and marketing until early 2015 as they haven't quite sorted out the branding yet.
A countdown for just a new colour variant of an extant device? I don't think so. This being said, more colours would be welcome :)
Cyan :(
I wanted the green 1520, too! But I always wait too long for the next best thing so I just went and got a yellow one. It's nice but if the green comes out I may be tempted to sell my yellow to a friend or something ;)
Android central
Nokia x??? Did anyone really buy that crap?
Corection : Microsoft mobile yo!!!!!! who is Nokia???
I could be mistaken but i believe it's "Microsoft mobile oy". =P
Oy means limited. Do you also refer to Microsoft as "Microsoft Corporation" or "Microsoft Co."?
I think the "yo" wasn't a misspelled "oy" but the term itself.
I actually like "Microsoft Corporation" better. Sounds more corporate lol
Seems more corporate... Sorry, couldn't resist!
"Microsoft mobile yo" sounds better lol
Nokia is still alive. They just don't make phones anymore. They did launch an android launcher and they still have here maps. I think nokia will try to offer services on more platforms and come up with new ones. Also could be chance that they will eventually make a newkia android phone.
Posted via Windows Phone Central App
They won't make a "Newkia" phone. Come 2016, if they make a phone, it will be a true Nokia ;)
The irony.
Could be a green McLaren?
http://i.imgur.com/CPeBh6N.jpg
You do know that is a false render, right?
Also, McLaren doesn't arrive until the end of the year.
Given Microsoft's habit of 3-6month delays been announcement and release, maybe it could be the McLaren launch in which case that timing would fit for availability being the end of the year.
Fingers crossed lol
Oh come on, it wouldn't fit on an Android blog either. This is not Microsoft nor Android, it's an abomination.
I'm personally hoping it's not another X. But, well, yeah.
I'm hoping that too... Pray it's a green 1520 in 5"...
Am i asking for too much?
Yes. Because at 5" it's not a 1520, it's something else.
It's an Icon / 930 ;-)
Hmm... Okay they can cut on some features but at least keep the Glance and a SD slot... Would be just perfect device for me.
Lumia 931 at 5 inches.
Well if its 5" its not a 1520... But since I have the same wish as Gautam Kabiraj... I will just rephrase it... "All the 1520 Goodness in a 5" package"... The Battery, The Glance Screen, The Memory card slot, + all the Flagship Goodness.. in 5 inches.... Thats my dream Lumia..... Hope at least Microsoft Mobile Oy makes that a reality...
Yes!!! That's what i want! I can consider if the battery capacity is a bit lower though. That'll be the best device of the year! But it'll be a big challenge for Microsoft if they see the way we do... They may come up with something like that in future but delivery in "demand and time" matters ;)
@ mike_msfan: Yes, this is the dream mobile + they have to offer both green and orange color. It is a perfect choice.
Idk why they made them so big. Plus both exclusives. They need to make 1 phone and release it on all 4 carriers. Phone should be 5 inches or smaller. Also waiting for the nokia lumia 1020 successor, right now I am with android using galaxy s4. Really like customizing it and rooting but a 41mp camera really makes me want to switch. Only thing is lack of apps! When businesses, colleges, schools, etc. Have apps to use and you don't have them it makes it really hard to access there information. I have a lumia 925 I am selling, thinking of getting used lumia 1020 to try out camera. If it doesn't replace my primary phone I can atleast use it ad a camera.
Posted via Windows Phone Central App
Lack of apps? Like what?
Blackboard, candy crush, google chrome, play music, minecraft, heads up, lack of quality apps. Really if they get blackboard I could try to live without google chrome. Also alot of toys, and other things are not having wp support. For example this tag on kickstarter requires bluetooth LE but wp doesn't support it. I just feel like I have to make a sacrifice to switch to windows phone. I don't want to. Took me a couple weeks to adjust to android and so many android phones out there that are completely customizable.
Posted via Windows Phone Central App
Nokia already enabled Bluetooth LE with Lumia Black update. There are clones and alternatives for candy crush and minecraft. UC Browser on WP8 is actually very good. Not sure about play music.
Even if some rare clones might be better than their more successful brethren, they lack the social aspect of playing the same game as your friends.
P.S. It's kind of worrying that the biggest money makers on app store aren't on WP
Blackboard - what? candy crush - crushed your ass. google chrome - google hate microsoft, they wont produce it to wp8. play music - what? minecraft - ask mojang team for it. heads up - what? lack of quality apps - nope, only you think it is
