Microsoft It was not successful that he was anticipated with his Android-operated Surface pair-series smart fone. The company has closed the lineup after Duo 2. But, this does not mean that the company has stopped trying.
New one Patent application On February 29, the United States has been filed with a patent and trademark office, it suggests that the company is working on another foldable or dual-display mobile device. The patent application has described the company’s foldable smartphone concept called “Spine Cover Plate” with single hing technology.
The next Microsoft smartphone may have a Galaxy Z fold-lick design
According to the patent application, the phone can “flexible display” in a bookstile design similar to the Galaxy Z fold dicks. However, the entire focus is on the spine cover plate mechanism, which aims to protect the single-hing system of the device by covering the structural element.
The differential factor between regular hinge and design of microsoft is that the spine cover is automatically adjusted during the opening and closing of the phone to prevent any unnecessary interval around the kaj to protect it with dust with water. Currently, Samsung’s design offers an IPX8 rating that makes their foldables only water resistant.
The patent further mentions that the new Kaj mechanism may allow Microsoft to eliminate the Kaj crease that appears less than the current options available in the market.
In addition, Microsoft has also referred to techniques that may allow them to reduce the overall thickness of the foldable smartphone, allowing the spinal covers to move closer to the device.
“The first display -port -port -port frame and the second display-porting frame are returned to the central spine and rotate it in a face-to-face orientation, decreasing the width of the folded computing devices, reducing the width of the folded computing devices, which enables easy and more comforting handling of the device, such as with one hand.
Interesting ideas, but practicality is a question mark
The entire smartphone market is looking for a way to eliminate foldable crease from its smartphone. Some brands have already implemented water-drop folding mechanisms to reduce it, but there is nothing like crease-free foldable outside there. In addition, the durability of the foldable is also important even given all the movable parts of these phones.
He said, adding another layer or a movable part on the top of the entire foldable mechanism that does not look like a wise step despite additional benefits and durability, Microsoft has explained in a patent application.
