There are some rumors claiming that Microsoft Surface Phone 2017 release is delayed as Nokia is trying again the smartphone business by releasing new phones.
Latest rumors claimed that Nokia will release smartphones dubbed as Nokia Edge and Nokia D1C. If rumors proved to be true, this could be in conflict with Microsoft's plans to release a premier smartphone. Microsoft has acquired Nokia in 2013 in its attempt to use the business in producing Windows smartphones.
Meanwhile, phasing out the Lumia handsets is a clear indication that a new smartphone is coming from Nokia-Microsoft.
According to Windows Central, one of the major features of the upcoming Microsoft Surface Phone 2017 is Continuum that allows Windows devices to adapt automatically to the changes and situation. For smartphones, it can be transformed into a miniature CPU by simply attaching a monitor, keyboard, and a mouse either via wire or Bluetooth, according to. Moreover, it supports x68 applications, which means it can run desktop apps.
Under the hood, Microsoft Surface Phone 2017 will be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 835 processor and 6GB RAM that will boost its performance. The smartphone will also pack Quick charging 4.0 functionality that will make charging of the device faster. Although Microsoft acquired Nokia, the company will reportedly leave out some of the famous Nokia Lumia features making it a fresh start for the company.
The other model, on the other hand, is likely to have 4GB RAM, and also to be powered by Snapdragon 835 processor. The surface phone runs the 64-bit Windows 10 Mobile variant.
Microsoft Surface Phone 2017 official release date and features are still unconfirmed but it is suspected that the device will be introduced early this year.
