There was also further news on a laptop accessory. These are visual estimates and isn’t from any official measurement. The source has a rough guess for screen size, which is 5.5″ at QHD. The prototypes also support Quick Charge 4.0, and this may be combined with wireless charging. You can install them on the phone, but won’t be able to run them in other modes. However, x86 apps are apparently exclusive to Continuum for now. This is dependent on the system architecture, with one 64-bit model that is able to run x86 apps and the other not. The Surface Phone prototype allegedly runs the Snapdragon 835, Qualcomm’s powerful new octo-core processor. Microsoft is apparently testing two RAM sizes with this, 6 GB and 4 GB. Take everything from here on with a grain of salt. It’s important to note that these are just protoype rumors, and might not reflect the final product anyway. The website says the information came from “one of our trusted sources with good accuracy,” but naturally we are a little skeptical. Yet NPU claims it has been given just that.

It’s strange then, to read new information about the specs of the Surface Phone. Nadella has talked about plans to an “ultimate mobile device,” but that seems far in the future. Both the Microsoft France president and Nadella have mentioned a temporary withdrawal from the smartphone market.
