Dell’s Windows Phone Shows An Intel Future That Hasn’t Arrived

#Dell #SurfacePhone – Dell's Windows Phone Shows An Intel Future That Hasn't Arrived : The holy grail for Windows Phone fans is an Intel-based smartphone that runs proper Windows 10 and comes in an ultra-mobile form factor. That future almost arrived with Dell but barriers have stopped this device from reaching the market.

The images you see in this post come from Even Blass who posted the shots up yesterday and after poking around a bit, it looks like these product shots show off a Dell made device (based on sources familiar with the phone) that would be using Intel inside.

I don't have the complete list of specs but knowing it runs on x86 architecture, it's not too hard to figure out what this device would be capable of doing and why it never materialized.

The device, which is likely impossibly thin for an Intel chip, and it's also possible that these images are only renders, would have had a companion product like a laptop that maximized what we know today as the Continuum experience. While this device would have come in a phone form factor, it would have been more laptop under the skin that also has cellular connectivity.

But, the silicon that would have been used in this device was killed when Intel abandon its low-end segment and logically, this device would have been a thermal nightmare.
