During this year we have received various information about the Surface Phone, information that verified or denied the existence of the Surface Phone, the now mythical Microsoft smartphone. We have recently known another rumor that points to the existence and "possible" launch of the smartphone.
However, after several unsuccessful attempts at an 'imminent launch', we not only doubt this device but possibly it is due to another very different gadget that would have to do with the new Windows ARM.
The images speak of a device with a large screen that can be folded as if it were a laptop and that has several versions depending on the size of the screen and the hardware. This device will have support for Surface Pen and has LTE capabilities. Since the device is not very large, many sources and blogger have considered it as a sketch and patent of what the Surface Phone will be.
But do not forget that it has recently been confirmed by Microsoft and other technology companies that soon there will be laptops from Samsung and HP that will have Windows 10 and a Snapdragon processor, that is, that they will work with Windows ARM. Considering this, I dare say that the new device could be more of a laptop or digital notebook rather than the Surface Phone. At least the information would fit with the latter more than with the Surface Phone.
In any case, if we consider that this new gadget from Microsoft is the future Surface Phone, We would be facing a device that would take at least two more years to reach the marketsWhile if we consider that the device is a laptop or a digital notebook, the time would be the same but we would not consider the Surface Phone as a Microsoft company vaporware.
I personally believe that this device is related to Windows ARM more than the Surface Phone. Among other things, because the latest information on the device speaks of an imminent release, information that would conflict with a possible patent Don't you think so?
