Rumor Mill: New Surface Phone Poised to Battle iPhone 8August 9, 2017 by FasettoFor over a year now, leaks and speculation have been circulating around the tech news community about the fabled unicorn known as the Surface Phone. The latest rumor is that the much-anticipated device will be released early 2018, setting up a battle against the iPhone 8. These rumors are further backed by Reddit user zombieacc who has stated that he was a former Microsoft employee and confirmed that they are intending to release a new phone in 2018 running Windows 10.The most interesting and pervasive rumor about the Surface Phone is that it’s supposed to have a foldable screen, giving it a distinct advantage over the iPhone 8. The foldable screen rumors appear to be confirmed through Microsoft patents as well as the image Microsoft accidentally release in July in an ad on both their Twitter and Facebook pages. The idea of the foldable screen, how it will function and how it could be used has tech enthusiasts excited and grasping for any leak or rumor they can get their hands on.Although Microsoft still has not confirmed any rumors about the Surface Phone, CEO Satya Nadella has stoked the rumors by saying they are making phones that “may not look like phones that are there today” and “a phone that can even be a desktop.” Nadella also told the Australian Financial Review, “We will continue to be in the phone market not as defined by today’s market leaders, but by what it is that we can uniquely do in what is the most ultimate mobile device.”Even though there is still a lot unknown about the Surface Phone’s specs and how all of its exciting features will work, LINK by Fasetto can help users take this a step further by allowing them to safely store up to 2TB of their digital content and wirelessly stream and share that content with up to 15 other devices at one time!Learn more about how this pocket-sized powerhouse can help bridge the gaps in your digital world.

confettiandbliss saysAugust 9, 2017 at 9:59 pmOh my! I hadn’t heard about the Surface Phone before. Now I’m completely intrigued. I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus.Reply
Esse D saysAugust 9, 2017 at 11:19 pmA phone with a foldable screen will shake the mobile phone game up. I also heard whispers about this phone and am interested to see how it impacts the current market.Reply
brittanidouglas saysAugust 10, 2017 at 2:20 amI actually haven’t heard anything about the Surface phone. However, I’ve been a pretty strict Apple Customer, although after a recent incident and Apple refusing to do anything about it, I’ve begun looking into other phones for a new one. A phone with a foldable screen would be amazing.Reply
Louise saysAugust 10, 2017 at 5:50 amOoh, I’ve never heard of the Surface phone before. I’m always excited when a new exciting piece of technology comes out! Let’s see how it rivals the iPhone 🙂Reply
Jessica Taylor saysAugust 10, 2017 at 9:53 amThis is the first I’ve heard anything about the Surface Phone. It sounds amazing!Reply
Pat Keller (@patjkeller) saysAugust 10, 2017 at 11:13 amMy big concern is the marketing of a Surface Phone. When MS bought the Lumia line from Nokia they fell down on marketing it. You couldn’t find them in carrier stores like AT&T and Verizon. When I went to AT&T my Lumia had to be shipped from a warehouse. There was no big display like Apple had, and the salespeople kept pushing be to buy an iPhone. They knew nothing about the Lumina. Where they getting commissions from Apple?My wife still uses her Lumina 910. The so-called lack of apps was overblown. There were over 75,000 when I bought my first Lumina and now it’s over 300,000.So MS should make sure the Surface Phone is properly marketed and stocked in carrier stores.Reply
Lyf&Spice saysAugust 10, 2017 at 11:18 amCan’t wait to see what the surface phone is actually going to be like, after all that hype. I guess iPhone users will stick to iPhone anyway. that’s some good piece of information there. Cheers!!Reply
Anchal saysAugust 10, 2017 at 1:09 pmNever heard about Surface phone. Waiting for the new iphone though 🙂Reply
runawaywidow saysAugust 10, 2017 at 5:46 pmI have not heard about the surface phone. It would take a lot to make me switch from an iPhone.Reply
ha linh tran saysAugust 10, 2017 at 9:04 pmthis is the first surface phone i’ve ever heard. it’s seem to be so exciting that i really want to use it once. i’m having an iphone but i see that there so many advantages at this surface phoneReply
urbansoulalchemy2013 saysAugust 10, 2017 at 10:00 pmWow, this sounds great! I’ve never heard of the Surface Phone. Apple could do with some solid contenders though!Reply
Beso Beauty saysAugust 11, 2017 at 1:26 amI have not owned a mobile phone in about 4 years. It seems like there is SO much competition between brands, however, I think in this market, people tend to be pretty loyal, so it would take something really special for people to want to swap. I haven’t heard about this one before.Reply
Elizabeth saysAugust 11, 2017 at 12:17 pmI had no idea the surface had a phone! Bet it’ll be amazing though! I’ve got an iPhone 6s and I love it though.Reply
nbosken saysAugust 12, 2017 at 3:50 amWow a bigger iPhone is crazy. I like my little one becaue it can fit in my pocket quite easily. It is crazy to think, though, that you might not need a desktop and a phone in the future.Reply
Ana De-Jesus saysAugust 12, 2017 at 7:37 amI just brought a new phone but the Surface phone sounds great. A phone that can be a desktop sounds good to me!Reply
Rebecca Swenor (@beclewis) saysAugust 15, 2017 at 6:25 pmThe Surface Phone sounds like it is going to be the hottest item next year. I would love to try one. The foldable screen sounds really interesting. I will have to share this with my sons because they always get the latest devices. Thanks for sharing the information.Reply
