According to a report published by Express, Microsoft is expected to launch its Surface Phone by the end of 2017. Moreover, it is highly likely that the Microsoft Surface Phone might come along with Windows 10 update as well.

Ever since reports of the company giving up hopes on its Windows Phone emerged online, fans of the company felt disappointed assuming that there won't be any more smartphones from the side of Microsoft. However, it is reassuring to know that the company isn't completely withdrawing from the smartphone market and soon will launch Microsoft Surface Phone.

Other reports regarding the specifications of the Surface Phone have suggested that the device might come equipped with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip and may even run the 64-bit version of the Windows 10 mobile.
