Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is rumored to be building a new Windows 10 smartphone possibly dubbed the Surface Mobile. As Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hinted last year, the Surface Mobile is likely to be different from models that are currently available in the market. Nadella has said that they plan to build a phone that “may not look like phones that are there today.”

“We will continue to be in the phone market not as defined by today’s market leaders, but by what it is that we can uniquely do in what is the most ultimate mobile device,” Nadella said.

Recently, Nadella confirmed that Microsoft hasn’t exited mobile phone business. In his podcast interview with Molly Wood’s Marketplace, the CEO said: “When you say we’ll make more phones, I’m sure we’ll make more phones, but they will not look like phones that are there today.”
