I hope so, Lumia 950s is a good phone but not a "WOW" phone, I believe surface team will nailed it again like when they first show up the surface book

As for Surface Phone, I was thinking it could potentially coexist since a low end Surface Phone probably won't fly too well considering the premium nature.

like I said Microsoft can be break the rule, but I dont know if it's good as it is a Lumia tradition, and for surface premium nature, you know that surface line up have a different spec for different price, and maybe they can do this on phone, remember microsoft just want to make 3 type of phone in the future, budget phone, phone for business and flagship phone, It's easy for surface phone to go in without losing it premium point because it's delivered as premium phone just with select-able spec.
if microsoft still releasing lumia along with surface phone, they will make a confusing branding in microsoft smartphone line-up
