Microsoft improves Surface Pro 3 and Pro 2 performance in Windows 10

The new Microsoft Band 2 is also expected soon, although very little is known about it. Here’s hoping it’s more comfortable than the first, but still crams in all the sensor hardware.

Dodging next month’s IFA gathering in order to go out on its own, Microsoft will reportedly debut the eagerly-awaited Surface Phone alongside the final Windows 10 for mobile release.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is being titled as tablet computer or laplet, wherein it is anticipated to bridge the gap of tablets and computers. Yibada believed that the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will be a success on its launch, as it showcases the killer specs of the device.

Microsoft is also planning one or two hardware surprises for the event, we’re told. Answering a fan’s tweet about whether to wait for the new Surface Pro or place an order for a discounted Surface Pro 3, Warren said, “Definitely wait for the 4”.

Because of Microsoft’s commitments that existing peripherals, like the Surface Dock, charger and covers, will be compatible with future Surface Pro models, there are unlikely to be drastic changes to the Surface Pro 4 externals. That could be a camera for face-recognition, though a fingerprint reader may be more likely.

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. It appears that will not happen, instead, it could hold back the launch for a massive consumer facing event, which could also be the launch of Windows 10 for mobile.

As for the phones, Microsoft is widely expected to release the Lumia 950 and 950 XL, a.k.a Talkman and Cityman. Now this has been backed up with news that the Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL launch is tipped for October along with a host of other devices from the company.

Chinese site WPDang also claims that we’ll see a scaled-down Xbox One “Mini” at the event, but we can’t say for sure whether this rumour will come to fruition.
