Microsoft would be working on a surface phone

During this year we learned that Microsoft ended its stage with Windows Phone, but that does not mean that they are not planning to launch a phone in the future. It turns out that today the first indications began to emerge that Microsoft, in fact, was working on a new mobile phone, a hypothetical Surface Phone.
New indications confirm the existence of the Surface Phone
Microsoft's phone number '8828080 ′ appears in Windows Builds. This number is not random, it had appeared before, but now it appears again in a collection of applications that refer to different devices and platforms.
As we see in the code, XBOX, mobiles, IOT devices, server and even holographic devices appear. The number 8828080 appears among them, and it could not be anything other than a new device, this new device that still has no established name would be a new phone. In the second screenshot you can see more clearly that this number is related to Default_Devices_Phones_cont , which is embedded in the source code. Even the most skeptical could see a connection between the two codes.
This would confirm the rumors, which for months, said that Microsoft was working on a Surface Phone, to match its current Surface Pro and Surface Book portable devices. 2018 may be a pivotal year for Microsoft in the saturated mobile phone market. If the rumors and these indications are true, Microsoft must present a device that really offers something different from what we have today, if it wants to stand out.
