Microsoft Surface Duo may get triple screen design, hints new patent
India Today
A new patent has emerged that details the design of a triple-screen smartphone and how it folds and unfolds. With this, we have a hint of what Microsoft has planned for the future of its Surface Duo smartphone lineup.
Microsoft came out with Surface Duo, its dual-screen smartphone, back in September this year. The device builds on the company's vision that came into being with its previous iteration, the Surface Duo. The idea is to have two large displays instead of one, both joined together through a hinge. However, a new patent suggests that Microsoft may be looking to add yet another screen to this mix.
A new patent filed by Microsoft in the US shows a new smartphone design that features a total of three displays. Just as we see on the Surface Duo 2, the displays are arranged in a collapsible format and can be folded to house inside a single smartphone form. This is done through a total of two hinges between the screens.
