Microsoft Surface Phone In Line To Challenge Samsung Galaxy S8 And iPhone 8
Rumors about Microsoft expanding its Surface line with a smartphone/mini computer continue to grow. According to Trusted Reviews, a recently-granted Microsoft patent reveals a new type of mobile device that switches between tablet and smartphone modes using folded hinges. The website explains why Microsoft’s new smartphone is still a risky business venture.
“Microsoft has had very limited success with mobile, struggling to acquire any meaningful amount of market share. With titans like Apple and Google currently dominating the industry, Microsoft is under immense pressure to crack mobile successfully,” says columnist Sean Keach.
The article adds that the Surface Phone will probably be the last roll of the dice for Microsoft since recent smartphones like the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL weren’t able to carry Microsoft to glory.
“Unfortunately, the Surface Phone will probably be the last roll of the dice for Microsoft. Despite the company making much of Windows 10 Mobile, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL weren’t able to carry Microsoft to mobile glory. Now, Microsoft needs to launch a perfect phone that can convert already invested iOS and Android users to Windows.”
Besides the foldable design, Gizmodo India says that the Surface Phone may offer new display technology.
