Microsoft is still quiet regarding their rumored Surface Phone but many are speculating that it will finally be revealed at the ongoing IFA 2016 in Berlin.
The said event will run until September 7 so fans still have several days of waiting should the Redmond-based tech giant decide to unveil the Surface phone. Rumors suggest that the Windows phone will be released by the end of 2016.
With more than half of the year already passed, users are anxious to finally see what Microsoft has in store for their Surface Phone. There are some conflicting reports, however, as Microsoft is also rumored to present the Surface phone in October instead with their own press event, Vine Report has learned.
There is no word yet that Microsoft is attending IFA 2016 and the Surface Phone release date might not be actually unveiled at the said event. Microsoft is expected to replace the Lumia 950 and the 950 XL with the new smartphone but the official specs and features have not yet been revealed yet.
Even the Surface Pro 5 tablet laptop hybrid has not seen the light of day. There are some leaked photos that show a Surface tablet supposedly to be released in 2016 with others for 2017 but no strong evidence for the Surface Phone yet.
Rumored Surface Phone specs state that it will have a 5.5-inch AMOLED display and a high-end variant will carry up to 8GB of RAM, iTechPost reported. Since the mobile processor business of Intel has been discontinued, the device will reportedly be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 or a Snapdragon 830 chipset.
Microsoft's Surface Phone entry variant will reportedly have 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM which is more than enough for the average smartphone user. The mid-range is a little more extreme with 128GB and 6GB of RAM while the most outrageous option, and probably with the least likely chance of being true, is the 500GB variant.
Surface Phone release date and specs will have to be unveiled by Microsoft themselves as the rumors seem to be far-fetched. People should expect updates before the end of the year.
