The Surface Dial may be one of the surprises of the Microsoft Event that we will see tomorrow

There is very little left for the Microsoft Event to take place. A little more than 24 hours that will begin tomorrow Wednesday, October 26 starting at 10 in the morning in New York, 4:00 p.m. in peninsular time.

An act focused on _hardware_ in which we will be able to see the news that will come about Surface, Hololens, Xbox and the different improvements that they are preparing in Windows as well as the new applications that must arrive. But as we say, _hardware_ must play a leading role given the delicate situation of those from Redmond in this regard and within 24 hours rumors are beginning to arrive.

There has been a lot of talk about the new and expected Surface All-in-One that Redmond could present for the Microsoft event this October 26 and many even speculated about the arrival of a Surface Phone (somewhat with a high probability that it will not happen). The fact is that these two devices have to add a new one: the “Surface Dial”

But what is the Surface Dial?

Little or none is the information that exists in this regard. It is well speculated that it could be a mobile device, even a new name for the Surface Phone From other sources it points in another direction, as it is suggested that it could to be the first inclusion of those from Redmond in the world of _smartwatch_ once they have put aside their quantifying bracelet, the Microsoft Band 2.

The development of a _smartwatch_ could thus be behind the cancellation of the Microsoft Band 3.Microsoft would have chosen to increase the Surface family with a new device and put aside the bracelet for monitoring he alth and our physical activity.

How do you see, of this supposed Surface Dial for now there is almost no information and everything is based on assumptions, rumors and leaks. However, among so much straw, some media (in the case of Windows Central) may have hit the key on what we can expect.

Hardware or software?

In this sense, the Surface Dial could have two possible aspects or two possible embodiments in reality. In this way we could be facing a new _software_, a driver for the radial menu _software_ that could return to Windows 10. And another, the one we like the most, that could be a new device. _Cool hardware_ for the company that could be represented by a type of remote control with different configurable buttons.

Whatever it is, it seems that tomorrow we are going to have some surprise, major or minor. In the same way it seems that if we wait for a Surface Phone we are going to have to keep waiting for a while although who knows if we could not find a new phone instead. _What do you expect from tomorrow's Microsoft Event?_
