A few days ago a series of patents appeared on a device with a folding screen. These patents were related to Microsoft and many claimed that it was the expected and desired Surface Phone. Microsoft still does not talk about the Surface Phone, that is, it does not confirm it nor does it deny it.
But it has been surprising that after the news of this device, Microsoft has stepped up and has confirmed the ownership of the patent as well as the future use of this patent in its devices.
As confirmed by Microsoft representatives, the reduction of the screen frames is something that is fine, but once overcome, the user will need to have a larger screen. Having a folding screen seems to be the future of these devices and Microsoft will have devices with this technology.
Unfortunately it has not been possible to know which device will be the first to have the folding screen, But it would not be a smartphone only, that is, Microsoft employees talk about smartphones, tablets and even laptops that can significantly reduce their weight thanks to this technology.
Possibly many users do not believe in this type of technology, but if we listen to the words of Microsoft, it may be that products with this technology are the future since they not only offer us a larger screen but also offer us extra protection since the screen will fold with the other screen, being protected from bumps and scratches.
I do not know if the Surface Phone will have a folding screen or if we will see Microsoft's new smartphone in a month, but if I am convinced that the folding screen will be present in our lives and that Microsoft will have several devices with this like a Surface Book with two screens, a Surface Pro with a larger screen, or simply a fitness band with a smartphone screen. Now it seems that the key is to know which device will be the first to have this Do not you think?
Discarded smartphones, it will be a Tablet or at least they try to sell it as such to get rid of the Lumias
