Surface Mini release is nothing new. IT Pro previously reported that Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will be released alongside a Surface Mini. The screen size of the miniature tablet remained undisclosed. However, based on the market, it will be around 8 inches. There is no official confirmation yet whether Microsoft will venture in miniature tablets.

The miniature tablet will run with Windows 10 operating system bringing in new software features in the device.
