Microsoft Surface Phone Image Leaked: Three Variants Are Confirmed!

A leaked image of Microsoft Surface Phone has surfaced after the rumor mill revealed the purported specs of its three variants.

Given the fact that the Surface Pro lineup is more or less Microsoft's most premium offering a laptop-tablet hybrid, it is not unnatural to assume that the Redmond-based tech giant will want to harness the much more powerful and power efficient solutions that AMD and Nvidia offer. He is the same leakster who had revealed photos of the cancelled Lumia 850 smartphone.

The QWERTY keyboard/stand attachment also appears to be an official flip-case attachment akin to the Surface tablet accessory range, rather than a permanent design feature of the phone. He had also accurately revealed the leaked renders of Lumia 650 before its release, Neowin reported.

Joe Belfiore, vice president of the operating system group at Microsoft, holds a pair of mobile phones featuring the new Windows 8.1. Hence, it seems that the smartphone will be equipped with an iris scanner. Judging the device from the image alone we can see what looks like a USB-C port and traditional 3.5mm headphone jack.

The rear is rumored to sport a 20-megapixel Carl Zeiss optics lens equipped with triple LED flash. The post also claims that the Surface Phone will run on Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 830 chipset and include a 5.7in 2K screen, "landscape screen support", a metal finish and an in-built battery.

Recent speculations have indicated that Microsoft will be end the production of Lumia series handsets in the near future and it will begin selling smartphones under the Surface brand name. The company has been coming out with updates and upgrades for their devices time and again, the company has now been focusing on their hardware devices much more than ever before, and their next big innovation is expected to be revealed when the company shows off the Surface Phone.

The Surface Phone has been expected to come out in the month of March in 2017.

The Pro Variant, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage space.
