Your first look at the Windows Surface Smartphone that never launched

Before Microsoft acquired Nokia, the company was heavily rumoured to be working on its own in-house Windows Phone device that was expected to ship in 2014 under the Surface moniker. Unfortunately, such a device never saw the light of day, but newly published images of a mysterious prototype might have just given us our first & only look at what Microsoft was exploring internally.

- Codenamed Raven (likely)
- Unknown Qualcomm Processor
- 720p HD Display
- Headphone Jack
- Micro-USB
- Power button on top

It has dedicated hardware keys for navigation, which are also coated in the same silver color as the chassis.

The build of Windows Phone that it’s running appears to be from September 2013, and is from an internal development branch building towards what eventually became Windows Phone 8.1.

Development on this device was likely paused once Microsoft acquired Nokia in 2014.

Honestly, this phone looks so gorgeous 😍
