Microsoft Surface Phone Latest Rumors: 6 GB RAM, Snapdragon Processor, Continuum Support

Contrary to what the industry as a whole believes, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is of the opinion that its Surface range of computers actually made the two-in-one PC category popular and increased its uptake across the industry.

Based from these rumors and fan expectations, the public is expecting that the Microsoft Surface phone would be a premium offering from the company. Moreover, Microsoft is reportedly building a pen and a removable keyboard to make professionals and business users more productive. Should this really be the case, then, it is likely for the Surface Pro 5 to arrive mid-2017 or stick to the current Intel Skylake processor if Microsoft really has to release it within the first quarter of 2017. Now, the Microsoft is trying its own hands at building hardware after the success of its Surface lineup of devices.

Specifically, NPU writes that Microsoft has developed several prototypes for the Surface Phone and all of them are powered by a Snapdragon 835 CPU and come with support for Quick Charge 4.0. The 6 GB version will supposedly be able to run x86 applications via the Continuum gizmo I already told you about, while the 4 GB version will stick with the usual.

Microsoft plans on launching a Surface smartphone soon. The question is whether Microsoft has that killer function that will keep users tied to their Surface phones. Perhaps we’ll see a new tablet earlier than we anticipate if Microsoft does a good job.

Interestingly, if the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will be released with the Microsoft Surface Phone, it might have to wait until fall next year. At one part the company declared Windows phones are will be fully supported and the talked about its continued commitment to Windows 10 phones, alleged leaks with full-fledged renders were hitting websites and blogs.

Microsoft’s Surface phone rumors indicate the phone may be facing an upgrade dubbed as “the ultimate mobile device” by CEO Satya Nadella. We also have an idea about the release date of the device. Despite numerous speculations stating that the platform has died due to the consistent failures of previous flagship devices, the story might be different once the Surface Phone enters the market.
