The smartphone, which is allegedly in Microsoft's testbeds, will reportedly be called Surface Mobile when it is released. 

The smartphone is said to come with a 5.5-inch Quad HD display along with a 64-bit Intel Atom x3 (SoFIA) chipset. This will reportedly be combined with either 3 GB or 4 GB worth of internal memory along with storage options going as high as 64 GB and 128 GB. A microSD slot will be included even with such space.

It is expected to feature a hefty 21 MP Zeiss 6-lens shooter on its rear, which is said to be of PureView makings. This ought to be a very powerful camera and would make the Microsoft Surface Mobile irresistible to photo-loving users. Selfies will look nice with its 8 MP Zeiss Wide-Angle snapper. 

The purported Surface Mobile is likely getting a reversible USB Type-C connector, and users can also charge it wirelessly. The device might also be the first Windows 10-laden handset. On the design department, the smartphone will get a unibody metal chassis for ultimate sleekness. Lastly, it is speculated that Microsoft will incorporate a Surface tablet trademark accessory, the Surface pen, with the device.

If the rumors prove accurate, then this package should threaten Apple and Samsung, which are the reigning smartphone makers in the field right now.
