Three variants of the phone series are reported to be unveiled, with ranges of 3GB to 8GB of RAM. On the other hand, Surface Book 2 is also believed to make an appearance, due to some rumors of Microsoft's anticipation of the Kaby Lake processor that the company plans to integrate with the upcoming laptop, MStarsNews reported.
