Details about the existence of the purported Microsoft Surface Phone continue to surface, often from the Redmond-based software giant itself. This time, the company's Chinese subsidiary may have accidentally revealed what the new Windows phone's name will be.

A video shared on YouTube by Microsoft China regarding the Continuum feature (that basically turns a capable Windows phone into a desktop) came with a description that stated the said feature is available to other handsets such as a certain Lumia X.

The description was edited not long after to have "Lumia X" removed but Phone Arena believes that this action just makes it seem more like the device is actually an existent one, just not released or officially announced.

This had media outlets under the impression that this handset could very well be the Microsoft Surface Phone. While it is also possible that it only pertains to another device yet to be given a proper name and number, there's belief that it is also a smartphone from a whole new lineup.

There are rumors, however, that Microsoft is dropping the Lumia moniker, which came from Nokia, so as to make the next devices they release completely their own. It won't make sense using "Lumia" in the name of the device unless these previous reports aren't accurate.

Furthermore, the Microsoft Surface Phone was always reported to act as a counterpart to other Surface products, which will make it likely and logical for the handset to have "Surface" in its name.

For the longest time, the device was dubbed Microsoft Surface Phone and there was no hint of a different naming scheme until the video turned up. This suggests that Lumia X is an entirely different device.

It is being said that the so-called Lumia 650 will be released soon and that it will apparently be the final from Microsoft under the Lumia clan. This speculation is either incorrect or Lumia X is actually a follow-up to it and a predecessor to Microsoft Surface Phone.
