Microsoft Surface Phone 2017

Despite there being no official confirmation about Microsoft Surface Phone from the Redmond-based tech giant, the device has managed to set the mobile community on fire. While Surface Phone leaks are coming in every now and then, the initial speculations about Surface Phone specs, features as well as 2017 release date have so far been very encouraging.

Microsoft Surface Phone Specs – 5.7-inch screen, Snapdragon 835 chip?

As I mentioned earlier, we’re expecting three distinct Surface Phone models. Usually, that would mean we’d expect to see three different screen sizes, but leaks thus far suggest all variants will use a 5.7-inch display.

Instead, the differences will reportedly come in the form of storage and memory upgrades, as follows:
Version 1: 3GB RAM / 32GB storage
Version 2: 6GB RAM / 128GB storage
Version 3: 8GB RAM / 500GB storage

Microsoft Surface Phone will come packing Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon 835 chipset. What’s exciting about the chip is that it’s Qualcomm’s first 10nm processor, which means it’s significantly more efficient than the old 16nm Snapdragon 820. Qualcomm reckons we’ll see either 40% lower power consumption or 27% higher performance, depending on what manufacturers do with the new Snapdragon 835. If Microsoft wants to go big with the Surface Phone, it’ll need to come packing this chip.

Unfortunately, we don’t know much else about the Surface Phone in terms of hardware and camera leaks.
