The latest rumors surrounding the Surface Phone come from Nokia Power User (a pretty reliable website). Reportedly, Microsoft is currently working on at least two Surface Phone prototypes, one with 4 GB of RAM, and one with 6 GB of RAM. It's said that both are powered by Qualcomm's brand new and very powerful Snapdragon 835 processor - which might also be used by Samsung for its upcoming Galaxy S8 series. The 6 GB prototype can allegedly run x86 apps via Continuum, while the 4 GB model can not.
Up to three Surface Phone models could be released in late 2017 running Windows 10 Mobile Redstone 3. Compared to Redstone 2 (which should be available for current Windows 10 phones early next year), Redstone 3 is expected to be a much larger and more important update.
P.S.: What you're seeing above is a Surface Phone render based on rumors.
