Microsoft Surface Pro 4, new Lumia phones coming in October?

The report comes from WPDang, which is a blog dedicated to covering Microsoft’s products and services.

There’s no word on when in October this hardware launch event is supposed to take place.

950 and 950XL are perhaps the last phones that were created under the stewardship of Stephen Elop, who joined Microsoft from Nokia, when its devices division was acquired by the company.

Among the many rumored specs that Warren also confirmed is that the next Surface Pro will have an amped-up powerhouse since Microsoft will be forgoing the Intel Core M chipset of the previous tablets in the lineup. Elop retired from Microsoft in June and now the design and engineering for Lumia smartphones is managed by Panos Panay, the brain behind the Surface tablets. Both phones are expected to support Windows 10’s new “continuum for phone” feature: Connect a $99 desktop docking station that lets you connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to run Universal Windows apps in a desktop-like environment, complete with a taskbar, start menu, and resizeable windows. The software giant can increase display size and resolution, while making the Surface Pro 4 thinner and lighter.

Microsoft has been coming out with some of the most awesome and awe-inspiring innovations of the modern day and the arrival of Windows 10 OS is certainly a major achievement for mankind at large! It could either be a camera or a fingerprint scanner. WPDang claims there may be a slimmer Xbox One, but a lack of rumors around Microsoft’s console plans suggest this is unlikely. As for the ports, as Microsoft wants to maintain backward compatibility with older Surface accessories, it may not change the dock connectors.

It’s not the only Microsoft-made device being tipped for an October unveiling, either.

In some ways it does make sense for Microsoft to reveal their whole holiday catalogue at one single event, much like Apple does, and moving from September gives Microsoft some distance from Apple’s event, though October is getting somewhat late.
