    I was just reading around about new phones and a spec from the new motorola z4 caught my eye. It has surface pen support! Being a surface device fan ( I am currently moving my family to all surface products), I thought this feature is a stand out for microsoft fans. Install launcher, and what not and have a surface phone.

    Just interesting IMO.

    Interesting. Some people say that Mi8 by Xiaomi is also capable to work with active styluses. I will try combining my Surface 3 Pen with their newest Mi9, I just purchased. Surface rocks anyway ;)

    I don't think the Xiaomi works with the surface stylus. Its on another type of technology.

    The motorola specifically says that it's compatable with surface pen. That's pretty cool. Install all MS software, and you have a surface'ish phone.
