Nevertheless, it appears that Microsoft has not given up on its efforts towards launching a Surface-branded smartphone. Latest reports point out that this might be a foldable smartphone just like the Samsung Galaxy Fold!
Samsung and Huawei both introduced their foldable devices earlier this year. Interestingly, it appears that the Surface Phone too is going to be a foldable device.
Microsoft Surface Phone: Microsoft’s Foldable Smartphone
If this upcoming Microsoft smartphone does indeed come out as a foldable device, it is going to pan out to Microsoft’s advantage. The phone is likely to run on the Windows 10 Mobile OS. However, when it is unfolded and made into a tablet, it can run the Windows 10 OS! This will make it the first ever PC-cum-Smartphone.
Microsoft’s competitors are also working on developing foldable smartphones. Multiple patents have been filed and even products have been announced. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft does indeed launch a foldable smartphone.
