Ahead of Microsoft's first non-Nokia-branded Lumia smartphone reveal, images of the Lumia 535 and 1330 handsets have appeared online.

Posted by Windows Phone blog WMPoweruser.com, the photos show off the dual-SIM 535 and new Microsoft branding.

According to the site, the Lumia 535 (pictured)—originally leaked in China and posted to Weibo—will come with a 5-inch qHD screen, 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage.

The photos highlight the reported 5-megapixel rear camera and VGA front shooter, as well as the neon green plastic backing—supposedly also available in black, white, grey, blue, and orange.

Little is known about the leaked Lumia 1330, which appears to be a large-screen device, similar in size to the 6-inch Nokia Lumia 1520 . The biggest change, as seen in the images, is the new Microsoft logo and name etched onto the back of the phone, where it used to read "Nokia."

Redmond is expected to release at least one new Lumia handset on Tuesday. The tech giant has dropped a few hints, including cropped images of its branded smartphone, and a new video teasing the unnamed device. Check out the 27-second blink-and-you'll-miss-it video below.

Microsoft did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment.

Following its $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia's handset business, the software maker recently dropped the Nokia moniker and began the transition to its new "Microsoft Lumia" title.

The move is likely intended to avoid confusion: Though it jettisoned its phone business, Nokia still exists, how with a focus on mapping and network infrastructure.

Microsoft will, however, continue selling entry-level Nokia phones, including the $25 Nokia 130, which will be joined later by additional handsets.

Stay tuned to PCMag.com on Tuesday for more details about the new Lumia(s).
