Earlier this year, Microsoft announced a number of new OEM partners who would adopt the company's Windows Phone OS in their upcoming handsets. Now at the ongoing Computex 2014 keynote, the software giant already showcased new smartphones running Windows Phone 8.1, manufactured by few of its partners, which include Prestigio, BLU, YEZZ and InFocus.

This handset will be a half-inch bigger that the currently available Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 which measures 6-inches big.

But there is no clue as to when and who (OEM) will take up the chance to take this reference design and bring it to us soon. And if in any case you want to take a closer look at the device.
