Up until now, you’ve most likely heard rumors about Microsoft giving up the Lumia series in order to make room for Surface Phone products. However, Microsoft never officially confirmed such a decision. Moreover, they did not even confirm that there is such a model currently being worked on.

Company representatives did not offer any clear answers as to what their plans are and if we should expect to see a Surface Phone launched next year. They only released some vague statements about continuing to offer support and updates for Windows 10 Mobile.

Even so, the Polish website MSMobile recently published some information. As it seems, Microsoft Australia had posted on Twitter about the upcoming phone for the first time. It said that the model might see a launch quite soon, though nobody knows how soon that is. However, people still doubt this source and the veracity of the information.

Apparently, Microsoft Australia posted a photo accompanied by the text “Soon!:)”. Everybody who was waiting for news from Microsoft knows that soon”is so vague that nobody can say for sure whether it’s going to be in one month, one year or ten years.

The text accompanying the photo is also somewhat strange. It says “New One in Surface family!”. Since the text doesn’t even respect the traditional design cues Microsoft uses and there is no Windows 10 logo at the bottom right corner, it’s most likely a fake ad.

Regardless whether the ad is true or not, all this fuss around the release only shows that fans are more than curious to see what device Microsoft will bring next.
