A Surface Phone that wouldn't arrive as a phone? The latest rumors point in that direction.
Recently in a chat with a colleague we discussed the current state of Windows as far as phones are concerned and it came up for discussion the state of a market (that of telephony) that is increasingly stagnant and in which innovation is conspicuous by its absence. Only the arrival of Nokia, if it knows how to do things right, could give it a breath of fresh air.
Nokia or HDM and Microsoft, because although their paths already run separately both companies can play an important role in the immediate future with their new proposals Those of Nokia are partly already a reality and it remains to be seen what awaits us in the case of Microsoft, because although there are leaks here and there, what we know so far does not clarify too much. And less than this rumor will.
And it is that while we have all talked about the possible arrival of a Surface Phone, at Microsoft it seems that the signs point to another type of device. A batch of innovative products that would not have so much to do with what we know today. A theory that can gain strength if we pay attention to the information that Brad Sams claims to have received.
"According to Rudy Huyn, the Surface Phone would be a totally innovative pocket device"
And it is that Brad Sams, Thurrott's well-known editor, claims to have information from two independent sources in which he assures that in Redmond they are working on a new device in which Alex Kipman, one of the creators of the HoloLens.A development that they talk about as a mobile device", something that does not mean that it is exactly a _smartphone_ for use In addition, the concept of the Surface Phone has been something that has been has created in the media, since no reference to it has been made by Microsoft.
It would be a development still in a very early phase of its creation, so it would still take time for us to hear about it and that It would arrive optimized to get the most out of the new capabilities of CShell, Microsoft's adaptive interface.
Perhaps from Redmond they want to create a fork in the road, and start a new one for which up to now no manufacturer has bet It would be the way they have from Redmond to try to revitalize an ecosystem that has already given hints of preparing for something different.
Do you think Microsoft is preparing something different or that in the end it won't be as innovative as we might expect?
