The first Lumia smartphone with Microsoft branding has been spotted, with the device being listed on China's equivalent of the FCC - Tenaa. The website listing shows a Nokia RM-1090 handset with Microsoft branding and logo printed on its rear panel.

Just as announced by Microsoft last month, the rear panel of the orange-coloured RM-1090 handset is seen with the Microsoft branding and logo below the camera and a flash, and above a small speaker. The front panel features Microsoft branding on top of the display, alongside the front-facing camera.

Notably the handset specifications seen in the listing are in-line with the specifications revealed when the handset appeared on the US FCC certification website last month.

The Windows Phone 8.1-based RM-1090 handset on Tenaa is listed to feature a 5-inch qHD (540x960 pixels) display resolution. It offers dual-SIM support with 3G connectivity, a 1900mAh battery, and measures 140.2x72.4x9.3mm.

Microsoft last month confirmed it was dropping the Nokia name from its Lumia smartphones, a rebranding following the acquisition earlier this year of the Finnish group's handset division. It even provided images of what the front and rear panels would look like.

The Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's devices and services division for more than $7.5 billion was completed in April. Microsoft will however keep the Nokia brand name for entry-level phones, such as the Nokia 130, under a license agreement between the companies.

On a related note, Microsoft in October reported higher-than-expected quarterly revenue, saying it sold 9.3 million Lumia smartphones, apart from improved sales of its Surface tablets and cloud-computing products.
