GADGETO

Microsoft Surface Phone

This year Microsoft also announced a new product in their Tablets line up i.e. the Surface Book, that actually is a tablet convertible into a full fledged laptop.

The Surface Book is an ultimate laptop that is useful for power users who need high resources while on the go. It comes with a Surface Pen that’s useful to write notes, or create art on the tablet. A product on the Surface Tablet series launched along with the Surface Pro 4 that’s also considered as a Laptop replacement. Clearly these products from Microsoft did not just impress their fans but also people who were using Mac with Windows running on it through Bootcamp because the ultimate Windows devices are now available.

These Phones would not be just targeted to the consumers considering the high end specifications, but would be to the power users who are looking to do more with their devices. Lets talk about the expectations we have from the upcoming devices we hope to be coming in early 2016 at the Mobile World Congress.

The Surface Phone is expected to offer the best display with 2K Resolution on a 5.5″ Form Factor. The 5.5″ display size is something that most of the brands are pushing this year considering that it’s a phablet size helpful to consume more media easily.

In terms of the strength the expectation is Corning Gorilla Glass 4 that’s almost unbreakable on normal drops & damages. Considered to the toughest protection out there in the market right now, we are hoping the Redmond giant would be offering such insurance to the display on Surface phone.

The Surface Phone will be using the chips supplied by Intel instead go qualcomm that has been in the news this year for the heating issues on most of the phones using the Snapdragon 810 processors. There are already speculations about the x64 chipsets being used by Microsoft in their future line up. At the BUILD developer conference this year they showcased the continuum feature on the Windows 10 phones that connects to the displays via HDMI offering you to quickly use your Phone as a PC & that helps you also run all the applications from your Phone.

What we would also like in terms of storage is that company should put 64 GB internal storage on its standard model. That might be sound quite brave, but it would only help the company in establishing a personality among high-end smartphones. Since, this device is slated to release in Q2 2016, we hope to see this standard would be followed by many brands.

This could be an ultimate Windows phone that many Microsoft fans are waiting for, or it just could be an ideal premium device for users who are looking to switch from other mobile platforms. Either way, if Surface Phone is anything like we have explored above, it would offer massive computing, and might make a good name for Microsoft.
