Details surface about Microsoft’s plans for a new phone
Chris Capossella, Microsoft’s chief marketing officer, threw out some interesting hints about an upcoming device in an interview for Windows Weekly.

The company has been tapping into the hardware markets quite aggressively and this looks like their next move to promote the Windows 10 Mobile OS and the Microsoft Mobiles at large.
Capossela during the interview hinted that Microsoft might be working on a “Surface” branded smartphone.
The Microsoft Surface tablets series has been a runaway hit with customers and now, Microsoft may soon unveil the “Surface Phone”. This new product will be separate from Microsoft’s existing line of Lumia products, although Capossela refrained from identifying the new device as part of the Surface line either. The phone is likely to be powered by an Intel processor, that is much more powerful than recent Qualcomm offerings. We are yet to see what Microsoft has in store for us in 2016, but the prospects seem to be very bright.
The landscape has been rather sparse, and news even more sparse, so Mary Jo Foley very pointedly asked Capossela to “give me something to hope for in the new year as a Windows Phone fan, Chris, because I’m abandoning hope”.

Microsoft hasn’t publicly announce the possibility of playing old games on Windows 10 Mobile, but according to some users the feature has been there since previous preview builds of the operating system, with some claiming they have been running titles such as Twin Blades since July. This also means that the “Get Windows 10” dialogue box will still appear on the computer screens of users. He says that Google is far behind in the race and will need to work a lot to pivot from an ad-based revenue system, to being an enterprise cloud business.
