Although the Redmond-based tech firm neither confirmed nor denied the future phone, rampant rumors suggest that the company is gearing up to unveil the device before the month ends. A major Windows 10 event is slated to take place on Oct. 26, and if rumors proved to be true, Microsoft will provide more details about the upcoming device then.
