A new patent reveals a somewhat old design, would we see it in a Surface Phone?

It is one of the most anticipated releases... if it finally happens. And it is that we have been hearing siren songs for many weeks about a future Surface Phone. Rumors with more or less consistency but that finally do not stop being that, rumors.

Little is known and to the few data we currently have we add a new one in the form of a patent. A patent that would reveal to us some of what could be the generic shapes with which Microsoft would endow its future smartphone if it finally decides to launch it.

This is a not too groundbreaking design (nothing to do with how attractive the Surface Studio is, for example), not at all except in the sketches that can be seen, in which what appears to be the housing for a kind of S-Pen (or is it the classic headphone jack) stands out ) in the purest style of the Note range. A curious bet that would bring back to Microsoft an element that had long since disappeared from the Windows Mobile environment.

We must bear in mind, however, that the fact of filing a patent does not mean that it will finally come true. Most of the time it comes just to preserve that idea in case another company goes down a similar path.

Now we look at the images again and see how a single port is housed at the bottom of the phone, which by the shapes seems to be micro USB type , which would set aside the USB Type-C option And it is that as a whole they are forms that are more reminiscent of well to those of a Lumia than to a truly innovative product.

Therefore we will have to wait Continue feeding impatience based on rumors to corroborate therefore what is the ace that from Redmond have saved up their sleeve when they decide to launch a Surface Phone. And if so, let's hope they don't follow these lines…
