Furthermore, another commentator astutely pointed out that another different leak, about Intel technology, on MacRumors shows that Skylake isn’t due out until Q1 of 2016, so the idea of a Surface Pro 4 released in October of 2015 with Skylake included is ridiculous.

Rumors of a possible Surface phone prepared by Microsoft aren’t new, but now that the company is rethinking its mobile strategy and planning to focus more on devices that could help it become a more important player in this side of the industry, more information emerges on what could be another high-end handset prepared by the Redmond-based giant.
The Surface Pro 4 will function both as a tablet and a laptop, making it an outstanding product.
Even though Warren has revealed a lot of information on the Surface Pro 4, he has not cited any a concrete source for his claims.
Tom Warren, senior editor of The Verge, has been tweeting that the tablet will most likely launch in October 2014. It will also be equipped with an Intel Core M Broadwell CPU. The new Microsoft Surface Pro 4 should be coming with a higher 2160×1440 pixel resolution in two size variants-a 12-inch and a 14-inch model.

It has been a long while since we heard anything about a Microsoft Surface mobile phone, but that changed over the weekend. However, the inclusion of USB Type-C is doubtful on the Surface Pro 4. The company has yet to confirm any of these rumors, but with the details starting to take shape, an official announcement could be imminent.
