Microsoft is reportedly working on the Surface Phone. This year has seen many reports ranging from the Surface Phone's alleged specifications to renders showing possible design language. On Friday, some designs of a Dell smartphone that was never shipped were posted by tipster @evleaks stating that it may be powered by a laptop-class Intel processor.
Soon after, someone commented on Blass' post saying that it was a "nice concept but nothing more". Blass replied to the comment saying "Much more than a concept. Stay tuned," and posted some more photos of the alleged Surface Phone, only this time shot in real-life settings, which strongly hint that Microsoft's upcoming flagship may finally be coming soon.

While earlier rumors hinted that the Surface Phone would be powered by the Snapdragon 830 SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM, Blass' tweet now suggests that the phone will now be powered by a laptop-class Intel processor.
Not much is known on the specifications front, but Microsoft is surely going to load its upcoming flagship smartphone with top-of-the-line specs targeting the high-end market.
Microsoft's recent trend shows that the company is focusing less on the entry-level market and is devoting all its resources to bringing out top-end Surface products with category innovation, and the newly-unveiled Surface Studio stands as proof. The move seems logical after the company has seen a dismal performance from its Lumia phones.
The Surface Phone, which is rumored to come in three models, is likely to compete with Apple's latest iPhones and Google's Pixels. The Surface Phone is expected to be launched in 2017, however, Blass' latest tweet hints that Microsoft may be ready for an earlier unveiling.
