Is Microsoft planning to unveil an Android powered phone soon?
17

Even though the Surface Phone has apparently been put on hold until late next year, it doesn't mean that the guys in Redmond won't have a brand new handset to sell this year. According to a report published today, a Microsoft Store rep said during a chat that the software giant is working on a new Android powered phone. And as much as we'd like to just call this "fake news" and move on, we can't for one reason; a Microsoft branded Android phone actually makes sense.
Even though a Microsoft branded Android phone is possible, and makes sense, outside of the word of one Microsoft Store rep, there have been no other clues or hints (even from the supply chain gurus who usually pick up on unusual activity) that such a device is coming. So for now, we would suggest that you take this report with a grain of salt.
