Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) will look at different forms of mobile devices, according to the company’s CEO Satya Nadella. In a podcast for MarketPlace’s Make Me Smart, Nadella said that the company is planning to design smartphones that “may not look like phones that are there today.”

Microsoft is rumored to launch a Windows-10 smartphone under the Surface brand this year. Though the firm has not officially announced the phone yet, Nadella hinted last year about an “ultimate mobile device.”

In the podcast, Nadella said: “We make phones today, we have OEMs like HP making phones and others, and we picked a very specific area to focus on which is management, security, and this one particular feature that we have called Continuum, which is a phone that can even be a desktop.”
