The highly-anticipated Microsoft Surface phone has all the attributes of a flagship model if we are to take into account all the rumours and leaked renders that have come to the open. But the prospect of it coming with a Snapdragon 845 chip under its hood still looks interesting. The project is said to be named Andromeda and the source also claims Microsoft has started shipping out early prototype units to its partners for testing. The rumour also hints that the machine will sport an ARM port of the Windows 10 Core OS, and will use the recently revealed Polaris desktop shell.
