Microsoft Surface Solo: What To Expect?
Going by Jonas Daehnert’s visualization, the Microsoft Surface Solo will look similar to modern day flagship devices.

There will be a USB Type-C port for synchronizing data and charging the device. is expected to look similar to the modern flagship smartphone with some new design elements.
Just like the Surface Duo, the Solo might not have a 3.5mm headphone jack and there will be a USB Type-C port for charging and data syncing. As per the renders, the smartphone will have volume rockers and power buttons on the right. Furthermore, there will also be a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on the same side. This placement of buttons is similar to that of the Nokia Lumia devices.
What More?
The Microsoft Surface will have a metal frame. Moreover, the back panel will be that of glass with the Microsoft logo embedded within it. The renders also reveal that the top right corner of the smartphone will house a single camera alongside the LED flash.
The Microsoft Surface Solo will have a completely bezel-less display alongside a punch-hole cutout at the front. Also, as this will be a premium offering, we can expect the smartphone to have an AMOLED display. We can also expect to see a high refresh rate on the smartphone.

The Microsoft Surface Solo will also have a thin form factor like the Surface Duo. However, this might imply a smaller battery capacity. In case Microsoft makes a Surface Solo and it comes with this design, it will be priced at around $1,000.
However, these are pure visualizations and nothing has been confirmed from the company’s side. If the Microsoft Surface Solo is released by the company, it will definitely be a great device to get your hands on. We hope the company does launch something along these visualizations of the device.
