The release of "Microsoft Surface Phone" is postponed this year. Reports have it that this move is to give way to a different "Windows 10 Phone" model that will be given a priority release this 2017.
According to a former employee of one of Microsoft's contractor, there are loads of interesting plans that the company has in store for its consumers. Among these is the release of a "Windows 10 Phone" this year. Reddit user zombieacc claims that this particular phone is not the heavily speculated "Surface Phon" which he said would be released later, most probably on 2018 or 2019.This latest information is opposed to the speculations that "Windows 10 ARM" will be available this year.
Previous reports, however, from different sites indicate that the release of Surface Phone might happen alongside the release of "Redstone 3." Both were previously expected to get a Fall 2017 release window. In addition, other Surface devices were also expected to be released at the same time. If the recent revelation from the Reddit user is to be believed, then fans will be seeing the highly anticipated phone later than expected.
The Reddit user added that it seems Microsoft is not giving up on the Surface phone. He was at the same time wondering why the company has not spoken about the Windows 10 phone. He then went on with his observation that it most probably be one of Microsoft's marketing strategies.
Microsoft might be taking their time developing a smartphone that will challenge the leading flagship phones today. This is in line with the recent patent that has appeared showing that the company is working on a hybrid of a smartphone and a tablet. The patents were found and revealed by MSPowerUser. It showed that the Redmond-based company is planning of creating a foldable device that will function as a smartphone when folded and as a tablet when not.
If indeed, the "Surface Phone" will be delayed this year, most likely, the speculated Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 will no longer apply. This will be obsolete by the time the phone gets a release on the alleged year. Whatever the case, fans are hoping to see the best that Microsoft can offer to them given their impressive performance in PC.
