Microsoft could launch Redstone 2 and Surface Phone in April 2017

After the publication yesterday of the email that Terry Myerson sent to some Microsoft executives, it became clear that the company would continue betting on new devices equipped with Windows 10 Mobile. A piece of evidence on which the publication Windows Central has now decided to comment.

Yes, because according to this outlet, those from Redmond have new information about the path they are going to take during the next year, and not only that, but they predict a series of releases. Specifically, there has been talk of the delivery of Redstone 2 and Surface Phone for April next year.

Microsoft's bet

The statement, in any case, fits perfectly with the statements that Myerson himself made at Build 2016 and that aroused suspicion among many users. Thus, and although the technological giant is not at all satisfied with its Lumia 950 and 950 XL (in fact, in Canada and the United States it is giving away this first with the purchase of the second) this does not mean that the bet will cease.

In fact, during the presentation it was commented that these Lumia had not been developed by the Panay team and, even, that their The design was reminiscent of some mobile phones from the Nokia era, which did not conform to the entity's philosophy and had little to do with other devices that did, such as the Surface Book, much more in line with the new Microsoft.

It would be the case of the aforementioned Surface Phone, a terminal with which those from Redmond intend to open a new market niche and "reiterate the success” they had with the Surface, this time on mobiles that are capable of replacing a computer. As will be?

Regarding the software and waiting for the Anniversary Update that will arrive in summer for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, those from Redmond too They could launch the aforementioned Redstone 2, since the update that has not yet taken place would be focused on correcting errors and would be mainly intended for the PC version.

In this way, it would be in 2017 when the mobile operating system would be fully committed, not only with this version (Redstone 2, scheduled for April) but also with Redstone 3, the details of which we still do not know. We can only advance that one of the main protagonists is expected to be Continuum
