Hey guys! Recently, I've been looking into the Surface Phone and Windows 10 Mobile, and I've been thinking, what needs to happen in order for this to succeed? Well, I've listed some of my own thoughts below (with consideration of 2018-19 release), on both the software and hardware side, and I'd like to hear your guy's thoughts and what you guys would like to see.
Hardware:
Hardware isn't as big of an issue, but I think it's still up there as a contributing factor as to the diminishing sales of the Windows Mobile platform. If I were designing the Surface Phone, I'd probably be looking for a 5" - 6", 8K / 16K, Gorilla Glass 5 display, wrapped around a slim, ergonomic all-metal body. However, the device does not necessarily have to be as thin as possible, as it could use the additional space to its advantage, gaining a competitive edge in power, to accompany a new-and-improved dock. The device would offer two Carl Zeiss cameras, of different magnifications, to offer a supreme photography experience, comparable to that of the iPhone, to create crisp, beautiful images. But don't be fooled by its exterior, as it boasts a top-of-the-range processor and 8 / 16 GB of RAM, with a 32 / 64 GB internal storage, which can be extended via Micro-SD. One of the defining features of the device would be the side port connectors on the left side of the device (think iPad Pro), which would allow bluetooth-less connection for a multitude of powered accessories, such as the Keyboard (free with device), which could fold back up, acting as a cover, or a charger for the Stylus (optional accessory), giving users a superior writing experience. On the back, users have access to a finger scanner, that, when pressed down, can be used as a heart rate and breathing monitor, which is also coupled with NFC. The battery powering this device would be a 3500mAH fast-charging battery, that also can also be charged wirelessly, or otherwise, with the USB-C braided cable.
Software:
The main issue with Windows Mobile stems from the OS itself. First, the design would have to undertake a major overhaul through Project Neon, utilising blurs, transparency and translucency, whilst features behind-the-scenes would be tweaked and adjusted to ensure a smoother experience, even amongst older, less powerful devices. However, the device will still stay snappy, probably even snappier than ever before, as the system utilises specific placement to ensure a simplistic, easy-to-use, fast and to-the-point experience for casual users, whilst also providing professionals with the power and versatility they need to accomplish tasks faster. The UWP would be drastically improved upon, making development even easier for developers, creating more applications for the platform. Features would be constantly improved on, whilst existing ones would become more streamlined, un-cluttering the crowded screen. At the same time, multi-tasking in both mobile and desktop mode would be introduced, allowing for split applications on the mobile side, and windowed applications on the desktop side. A larger, foldable version of the aforementioned keyboard, could be bundled with the device, that connects horizontally as opposed to vertically, making the phone a touchpad on the side of the keyboard for use during Continuum.
So what do you guys think? Let me know below!
