Microsoft is believed to be working on a new dual-screen device under the Surface brand and while the device is supposed to make calls, it won’t be a traditional smartphone. Microsoft’s Surface Phone was supposed to be a Windows Phone and the company cancelled the idea a while ago.

Andromeda, on the other hand, is a dual-screen device and has nothing to do with so-called Surface Phone.

The news portal WIRED got the chance to interview Panay ahead of the Surface Go’s launch, and the interviewer asked him if Microsoft will ever make a Surface Phone. Panos discussed the new form factors and how it’s adapting to users.

It appears that the new form factors that the Redmond-based tech giant is currently developing would not include a Surface “Phone”.

“Well, I would not say that that includes a Surface Phone,” Panos Panay said in an interview.

Microsoft is rumoured to be working on Surface Andromeda

Andromeda is the codename of Microsoft’s dual-screen device and it was one of the most anticipated product releases of the year, but the software giant has reportedly postponed the launch until at least early 2019. The company does not want to retire Andromeda entirely.

Microsoft is reportedly reworking on both hardware and software to refine the experience and create a new category of devices.
