Even though everything seems to be at a rumour stage for the Microsoft Surface Phone, it is one of the most talked-about devices on the Internet currently. Recent rumours suggest that the Surface Phone will have a Cyan back cover, speakers at both top and bottom, 3.5mm jack will remain and it could also be used as a mini-tablet in landscape mode.

As per The Bitbag, the Surface Phone users will also experience the Surface Pen with the device. Needless to say, the device will boast of some top-class specs including a very powerful processor and a micro-HDMI port for easy connection of the device to any screen. The Surface Phone is expected to have an aluminium body just like the iPhones.

As per LearnBonds, the Microsoft Surface Phone will be bold as well as enterprise-friendly at the same time. Once connected to a monitor, the Surface Phone will give users full Windows 10 experience. The Cover Touch will serve as a keyboard whereas the Surface Phone will act like a 10-point multi-touch track pad.
