Microsoft Surface Phone 2017: Release Date & Price

Microsoft has not yet officially announced the existence of the Surface Phone 2017. Whether it's a marketing tactic or the tech company still has much work to do, will only be known next year. As Microsoft will also roll out its Windows 10 Creators Update in April 2017, the Surface Phone may be released at the same event.

Earlier in November, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, stated in an interview to the Australia Financial Review that the company is working on an ultimate mobile device. While the company hasn't yet announced any official launch date for the device, but it's likely that the major reveal will be made at the CES 2017 tradeshow in Las Vegas next year.

The smartphone will be available in a number of models. While the base model will cost $700, the other models may hit the market at $1,100 price. Stay tuned to SWR for more news and updates on the Microsoft Surface Phone 2017 release date, specs and price details.
