Microsoft has been a failure in the field of smartphones. With their doomed windows phone, the Redmond-based tech giant is now making sure that their 2016 mobile flagship is a sure hit in the market. Microsoft Surface phones are believed to be the last smartphone to be unveiled for this year but will Google Pixel phones beat its new technology?

As the year 2016 is nearing end, everyone thought about Google Pixel phones as the only last remaining smartphone in the list that has yet to be revealed. But it turned out that Microsoft is preparing for its plan to debut the newest Surface phones which is believed to be the new competitor of Google Pixel phones. The Country Caller reported that the Windows maker company has filed a patent for its unique fingerprint scanner alongside high-end features.

Microsoft Surface phones or Panos phones are believed to be powered by Windows 10 that are said to be the replacement of Nokia Lumia phones according to Tech Times. The leaked images of the purported Surface phones are shared online by the Polish designer Bartlomiej Tarnowski. The said images showed a design imbibing ingenuity and creativity and deemed as utilitarian and business-oriented.

When it comes to camera specs, Surface Phones believe to sport a three LED flashes similar to Lumia 950 XL. The display screen is rumored to have a size of 6 inches sporting an edge-to-edge screen. Also, the physical buttons are said to be replaced by the sensor-based ones on the side of the handset. However, it is unlikely for the Surface phones to have a stylus pen because it doesn't show any slot for the pen unlike in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

Expected release date of Microsoft Surface phones is anticipated in the last quarter of 2016 or the fall of 2017. Price has not been revealed by Microsoft.
