Microsoft Surface Phone release date, specs news 2016: Device will come with Snapdragon 830, 8 GB of RAM?

Tech freaks have been talking about the upcoming Microsoft Surface Phone for quite some time now. According to the reports, the new smartphone from the American software company may house the most impressive specs and features once it arrives in the market. Rumor has it that the device will run on Snapdragon 830 chipset from Qualcomm.

If rumors prove to be true, Microsoft Surface Phone will also have 8 GB RAM, which would be pretty amazing since none of its class today sports the same specification. However, this has yet to be confirmed by the company itself.

Meanwhile, previous reports suggest that the next Microsoft smartphone will be powered by the current Snapdragon 820 processor and will come in three variants. The first variant will have 4 GB of RAM, along with 32 GB of internal storage capacity. Second Variant will have 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB onboard storage capacity. The specs under the hood of the third variant will be headed by Snapdragon 830 processor and 8 GB of RAM, along with its whopping 512 GB of internal storage space. If the device will indeed come out with these specifications, it will even be better than most of the laptops available in the market today.

As of the moment, the company has yet to provide details about the smartphone's release date and it specifications. Fans are definitely excited to know more about the device before its official release.

Meanwhile, Windows chief Terry Myerson currently discussed with The Verge regarding the company's plan and main focus this year. According to the report, Microsoft's concentration this year is not on its smartphone development; however, Myerson also hinted that future plans might include another Windows phone.

"We're going to do some cool things with phones, but this year phones are an important part of our family but not the tip of the spear," the Windows chief said.
