Trying to catch up with the foldable phone trend, Microsoft is preparing to take the stage again after a long break. The company, which progressed with the Surface Duo series, could not achieve the success it wanted in the foldable phone market. However, a new patent shows that the company has not given up in this field and is preparing to return with a more advanced device. So, can Microsoft succeed in the foldable phone market? Details are in our news…
Microsoft could make a big comeback with foldable Surface Phone
Microsoft’s new patent approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) gives important clues about the company’s plans for a foldable screen phone. The device in the new patent has a hinge structure that can rotate 360 degrees.
Thanks to this hinge, the device can transform into different usage modes. Users will be able to use the device as a traditional smartphone, as well as a tablet or a mini laptop. Another remarkable detail in the patent is that this device can be folded 0, 180, 300 and 360 degrees.
However, it should not be forgotten that this flexible screen technology has great engineering challenges. The durability of flexible screens and whether the hinge structure will be suitable for long-term use is one of the most important factors determining the success of such devices.
There is no definite information about when the device called Surface Phone will be released. However, if we look at Microsoft’s investments in foldable phone technology in recent years, the company is working seriously in this field. However, it will not be easy to compete with giants like Samsung in the foldable phone market.
