<p>Consistent rumors suggest that Microsoft plans to release a Surface Phone to the market in 2018. This could possibly mean that Microsoft is trying to return to smartphone race.</p>
<p>Surface Phone will not be just a smartphone but a device that could be transformed into something greater than a simple smartphone.</p>
<p>It is unclear if Microsoft will release a new smartphone in 2018, but Satya Nadella gave a hint with this statement:</p>
<blockquote><p>“So in some sense when you say will we’ll make more phones, I’m sure we’ll make more phones, but they may not look like phones that are there today.”</p></blockquote>
<p>With all this said, it seems that Microsoft is not trying to make just another smartphone as we have today, but a new, revolutionary product that will open a new chapter in the world of Smartphones.</p>
