Just like Samsung and TCL, Microsoft imagines a foldable smartphone in three parts. A patent describes Microsoft’s concept with a mobile with three hinged screens.

Samsung managed to make the foldable smartphones a little more popular and accessible. The Korean now seems to want to go a little further with smartphones capable of folding into three elements. This is also the proposal of Microsoft with a patent identified by PatentlyApple

and granted by L‘USPTO

on December 23rd . Unlike Samsung, the giant of IT is not particularly convinced by smartphones with foldable screens. He prefers the assembly of screens articulated by a hinge. This is what the brand had already presented with its Surface Duo.

Microsoft describes a smartphone this time with three separate screens articulated by hinges. The device folds like an accordion with one of the screens on the outside. This process would compensate for the lack of an external screen that we know with the Surface Duo. This is limited to the display of only notifications.

To a Surface Trio?

Once deployed, we would obtain a tablet of about ten inches. According to the patent, the shape of the smartphone would allow it to use only two of the three screens. In all cases, and contrary to Galaxy Z Fold 3

from Samsung, such a mobile is certainly not made to fit in a trouser pocket, even closed. The thickness conferred by three superimposed screens is significant and refining the frames would weaken the whole. Similarly on the patent, the presence of a photo module is not mentioned. This would contribute to thicken the whole.

For once, just like at Samsung, or TCL

, these concepts of triple screen are for the moment only trial and error on the part of manufacturers and may never see the light of day. It must be said that the foldable smartphone in two is still looking for itself despite great progress.
