It looks like Microsoft stands by its new Lumia smartphones powered by Windows 10 Mobile, even though this might not seem to be the case with the company's high-end Lumia 950/950 XL.

Microsoft will bring three Windows 10 Mobile smartphones on the market this year. Two of them, Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, are already available for purchase while the Lumia 550 is expected to arrive in the next couple of days.

But that's not where Microsoft is going to end its Lumia lineup. We reported a few months ago that the Redmond-based company might launch another entry-level smartphone in early 2016, the Lumia 650.

Microsoft Lumia 650 is said to sport a 5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display. Also, it's rumored to pack a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and a 5-megapixel camera in the front.

The successor to the Lumia 6xx family won't come alone, as Microsoft plans a second mid-range Windows 10-powered smartphone next year.

According to a new report from NPU, a new Lumia smartphone with model number RM-1182 has been recently launched in Indonesia where it received its certification.

Lumia 750 or Lumia 850?

Microsoft RM-1182 is a completely different family of smartphones, so we believe this might be the Lumia 750 or Lumia 850 smartphone that we talked about in the past. It can't be Lumia 650 since that device features a different RM-1150 model number.

Unfortunately, aside from model number we don't know anything about this Microsoft RM-1182, but we suspect more info on its specs will be unveiled next year.

Until then, Windows Phone fans who can't afford any of the two high-end Windows 10-powered smartphones launched by Microsoft last month can opt for the Lumia 550, which is going on sale soon.

Also, if you already own a Lumia smartphone, Microsoft might just release Windows 10 Mobile by the end of the year, so you'll be able to update.
