So far, we have been meagerly acknowledged aboutMicrosoft‘s plans for its Surface line. The most recent piece of information on the internet about theSurfaceseries, insinuates thatMicrosoftis all set forreleasingaSurfacepro 5 andSurface Pro handset altogether in 2017, tied with the launch of Windows 10Redstone3 – or so they say.Microsoftis yet to comment on the authenticity of the news.

Recently, we have come across with thesupposed specsof the possibleSurface phone, along with speculation thatMicrosoftmight be working on releasing at least two Surface Phone variants  rather than one (though some websites point towards three); a 4 GB RAM model along with a 6 GB one. Here’s a brief overview of their common features, via NokiaPowerUser;

Though the information is not concrete solid, consumers can’t help but get eager about the possible successor of theMicrosoft SurfacePro 4 which has been out for over a year now.

There are several other takes on thespecificationsof the Surface Phone on various other sites, implying  the addition of an OLED screen and something armed with fingerprint security. Moreover, it is said thatMicrosoftcould bring x86 emulation to Windows 10 ARM64 devices with Redstone 3 next fall.

Seems likeMicrosoftmight be done with their Lumia series, but they are certainlynot ready to give up on their smartphone manufacturing line.

Looking at facts,Microsoftcurrently has somewhere around 1 percent of the mobile market, so another attempt atsmartphonebusiness wouldn’t really hurt, of course,ifthey somehow get it perfect this time. A successfulsmartphonerelease from the company would definitely provide some consolation to theWindows phonedevotees, after suffering the loss of their beloved Lumia phones.
