TechTrusGaddgets - After a long time not heard rumors of a Surface Phone, now rumors about Surface Phone finally re-emerged.
Daniel Rubino of Windows Central claims that he got the info that comes from someone who knows Microsoft's plans regarding Surface Phone, and the source said that we will not be able to see the Surface Phone until 2017, and he also added that the Surface Phone will have 3 the different variants which will be tailored to the level of prices and market needs.
No More Lumia
Microsoft's strategy for mobile products at this time could be the one saving strategy from Microsoft. Microsoft has reduced the development in Lumia, including the cancellation of the product, it may be for several reasons, including: Windows 10 Mobile is still being developed and improved. Letting Partners (OEM) Microsoft has space to make the hardware (Windows phone) new.
Give Microsoft time to get back into the mobile market with products that are more powerful. The reason of the delay (Surface Phone) is unclear, it could be due to waiting for the completion of two major update of Windows 10, the Redstone 1 (Anniversary Update) to be awarded in summer 2016 and Redstone 2 is postponed until 2017.
Which of the update will be provides many new features and will provide a deeper integration with Windows 10 PC. Besides waiting two major update to Windows 10, it could be other reasons is Microsoft wants to give a chance to other OEMs to be able to evolve with Windows 10 Mobile, as we know today is almost 90% more market dominated by Windows Phone Lumia.
Microsoft needs to diversify (diversification) market if they want to ecosystem Windows 10 Mobile is growing and is not controlled by Lumia, so most likely this year Microsoft will rest for a while (it will not mengelurkan phone / new devices) and will soon be preparing for a breakthrough with a new brand and also new hardware as well of course in 2017, possibly it is Lini Surface Phone, Lumia replacement.
New Device from Microsoft
According to Daniel Rubino, Microsoft will re-sign back on the mobile phone business in 2017, likely to coincide with a major update of Windows 10 Redstone 2 Even Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet recently reported that Redstone 2 will be postponed until the spring of 2017 in conjunction with the launch of the new Windows device 10
The delay is reportedly due to being dipersiapkannya new hardware and not because of problems on the OS. So chances are there will not be a new device from Microsoft this year due to the preparation of the hardware, and if you wait for the Surface Pro 5 or Surface Book 2, the device is likely to be present in 2017 in conjunction with the Windows 10 Redstone 2 and also lines Surface Phone, if ever these rumors proved to be true.
Surface Phone would Comes with 3 Versions
And it seems that this has to do with the statement Satya Nadella in 2015 ago, the following statement: We plan to narrow our focus to three segments (mobile subscribers), where we can make unique contributions and also we can distinguish through a combination of hardware and software.
Keep in mind this is just a rumor and not too seriously face the rumor, because in the end it could be going to disappoint if not realized.
So, take it easy. So, if the rumors are true whether you intend to buy a new Lumia this year or you will wait Surface Phone rumored to be present in 2017 ?
