Microsoft may have learned a thing or two from watching Samsung work its magic over the years: If at first you don’t succeed try again and again and again with multiple sizes, specs, aspect ratios and prices. GeekWire reports that Microsoft Surface boss Panos Panay said that the company is planning to release Surface models with multiple different sizes and aspect ratios, similar to how Samsung released several variations of its Galaxy S4 flagship smartphone this year. Although Panay didn’t give too many details on how many different kinds of Surfaces the company will release we do know that Microsoft is at least planning to release a Surface mini in the coming months that will presumably be priced to compete with the iPad mini, the Kindle Fire HD, the Nexus 7 and other popular small tablets.
Microsoft may take a page from Samsung’s playbook with multiple Surface models
