Windows 10 has in the latest version of the operating system discovered a huge surprise that the company Microsoft he tries to hide her from the press of the whole world, she revealing something that everyone thought would never come again. More precisely, in the recent build 17650 of Windows 10, APIs were discovered that suggest the fact that Microsoft is interested in launching a new mobile phone, that is, the Surface Phone that many have been waiting for for several years.
Windows 10 has been implemented by the Microsoft company a series of APIs that describe the possibility of using various mobile phone functions with the operating system, they being separate from those existing for Surface tablets. We already know that Surface tablets allow connecting to 4G LTE networks for Internet browsing through Windows 10, but what has now been discovered also describes calling phone numbers, accepting phone calls, etc.
Windows 10 – the huge surprise hidden by Microsoft
Windows 10 also has support for connecting Bluetooth headsets in order to accept phone calls, so the indications are very clear at least regarding the testing of a Surface Phone with this operating system. For years it has been rumored that Microsoft would launch a Surface Phone for users, to complete the Surface product line, and Windows 10 confirms the possibility that a phone with this operating system will appear.
"The latest Windows 10 Insider Preview has given new fuel for the speculative fire: it has a set of new APIs for cellular phones. Windows has integrated support for cell modems since Windows 8, but this has been restricted to supporting data connections. Telephony—dialing numbers, placing calls—has always required either Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile, which has made the full Windows 10 unsuitable for a phone.”
Windows 10 has tested these functions for the upcoming big update Redstone 5, which will be released by the Microsoft company only after the Spring Creators Update reaches our computers, in April. This means that Microsoft could announce the Surface Phone sometime in the fall of this year, when the next major update for Windows 10 is expected, so until then there will definitely be a lot of speculation about the phone that could be sold by Microsoft starting with 2018.
