Lately, it would seems as though the Surface Phone is all that the tech scene wants to know more about. Fans of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and its Surface hardware have been extremely patient while waiting for its release. What the public knows for certain is that Microsoft has no intention to leave the smartphone scene. This is in spite of the Lumia range's failure to get off the ground. However, the exciting products which form part of Microsoft's Surface range are all shades of innovation and convenience. With rumors surging and experts chiming in, the consumer tech space looks forward to a new range of mobile phones as the next big items to join the Surface lineup.
Right now, there is no shortage of talks about the Surface Phone circulating the web. Rumors are plenty and are validated by expert comments. There are heaps of alleged leaks, too, with a number of authority web pages depicting various rendering of how the Surface Phone could look and function.
Today, LearnBonds takes a look at what is being said about the next Microsoft handset. Our brief discussion will take us through what is officially known about it, what users can expect and a brief look at what the rumor mill is churning out.
The ultimate mobile deviceCompany CEO Satya Nadella recently made a huge hint at anew range of Microsoft phones that will add to the Surface gadget line-up. Better yet, MSFT plans to defy the norms and trends set by current smartphone leaders. In an interview with the Australia Financial Review, the CEO promised to produce a few revolutionary gadgets in the near future.
"We will continue to be in the phone market," Nadella assured, "not as defined by today's market leaders, but by what it is that we can uniquely do in what is the most ultimate mobile device."
Nadella assures us that, from now on, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) will focus more on how users and companies make use of its devices and not on what is most sellable. According to him, this alone will push the tech giant further into the every device category. The process will see Microsoft bringing unique products to the table and further its pursuit for the "ultimate mobile device".
Microsoft is done playing copycat"We don't want to be driven buy just envy of what others have," the CEO reports. "What can we bring? That's where I look at any device form factor or any technology, even AI."
The internet has been hit with a wave of Surface Phone rumors in recent weeks. The new Surface Studio took fans by surprise and had analysts peg it as the next best purchase for all-in-one PC users. The large-screened and powerful PC has a display that be set at any convenient angle. It can even be leveled and used as digital drafting desk. This is complemented by is support for the Surface Pen and new Surface Dial.
Microsoft Corporation's Surface Phone is speculated to be a unique, multi-use device with desktop-level processing power. The device could revive the QWERTY keyboard, picking up where BlackBerry left off. Interestingly enough, BlackBerry Ltd. is also releasing its a device around the same time as the Surface Phone. It should be interesting to see how these two gadgets fare against each other, considering the similar struggles that both brands face in the phone market.
A PC in your pocket?Naturally, the device is bound to be a Windows Phone. It should offer the latest and most innovative use of the Windows 10 Mobile operating system. The Elite x3 from HP is thought to be a massive hint at where Microsoft plans to take its next handset. HP's device is a Windows phone, too, and comes as a near-perfect example of a smartphone with a PC-like capacity. Devices produced by MSFT's leading partners paint a good idea of Satya Nadella's mobile ambitions.
"What we are going to do is focus [our] effort on places that have differentiation." Nadella said. "If you take Windows Phone, where we are differentiated in Windows Phone, its manageability, its security, its Continuum capability, that is the ability to have a phone that, in fact, can even act like a PC."
More surface phone detailsThe allegedly leaked images of the Surface phone show some exciting features. At a glance, it looks a lot like a phablet device, appearing as though it took much of its design inspiration from the Lumia range. News outlet Yibada points out how the Surface Phone looks similar to the XL versions of the Lumia.
We aren't really shown how slim the product is. However, if we consider the processing power that the Surface Phone is expected to house, the sort of battery that would ideally give it a decent amount of up-time, as well as the gadget's expected USB Type-C port feature for file transfer and charging, then fans can expect a device that is a bit on the bulky side in comparison to the likes of the iPhone 7 and Samsung flagships.
It is a pity that all the public has to go on so far are rumors and speculation. However, the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Surface range is yet to produced a disappointing piece of hardware. Judging from the allure of its existing products and what is being said about the upcoming Surface Phone, the smartphone space can look forward to a revolutionary addition on the next few months.
