Surface Phone: Here’s everything we think we know so far

By VC_11

Alleged leaks earlier pointed towards a so-called Surface Phone device, the company’s ultimate mobile device, now referred to as Andromeda. Microsoft’s ultimate mobile device project (Surface Phone) has evolved over time, the Andromeda mobile device is rumoured to feature a foldable body. While Microsoft doesn’t typically comment on the future project, hints of such projects are regularly discovered. Microsoft’s Surface Andromeda is still being developed behind the closed door with some unique features.

Microsoft’s executives have recently revealed that the future models of their mobile devices will be completely different from the devices that customers can purchase today. The reports have confirmed that the device won’t be a simple smartphone or Surface Phone with Intel chipset, more gigs of RAM and better camera specs, it would be a unique mobile device that you can’t imagine.

Alex Kipman, the inventor of Microsoft’s HoloLens, in an interview explained that the traditional concept of the smartphone has no future. In an interview with Bloomberg, he explained that “the phone is already dead.” But “people just haven’t realized,” he added. Microsoft’s focus seems to be entirely on building a phone that’s not a phone, that’s something similar to what they have done with the Surface lineup. The man behind Surface lineup, Panos Panay is apparently in charge of bringing the Andromeda to the market.

RyanGavin, Microsoft general manager for Surface, explained in a recent interview with Business Insider, that the company’s next phone “will not resemble what we know and think of as a phone today.” Back in 2016, Nadella also hinted at the possibilities of a ultimate mobile device from Microsoft. “We don’t want to be driven by just envy of what others have,” he said. “The question is, what can we bring? That’s where I look at any device form factor or any technology, even AI. We will continue to be in the phone market not as defined by today’s market leaders, but by what it is that we can uniquely do in what is the most ultimate mobile device,” Nadella explained.
