A Surface with a flexible screen running Android apps? Crazy or a rumor that could come true?

That at Microsoft they are working intensively on new hardware and newsoftware is almost an open secret. There is no official data, but when we have seen so many rumors come out, it is because something is moving in the American company. Microsoft's current position is good (except in the mobile market) but they can't rest on their laurels if they want to stay on top.

To do this a software solvent is as important as a hardware cpowerfulNew and adapted versions of Windows for flexible screens make the news almost every fortnight, as do possible new devices. And in this sense, news related to a device that we could mark as revolutionary due to one of its characteristics appears again.

Flexible screen

We're talking about a new folding device from the Surface family that Microsoft is working on So far nothing too new. A model of device that would see the light of day in the first or second quarter of 2020, so there is still time left for it to become a reality.

In terms of specifications, rumors point to the use of a Lakefield Intel processor with 10-nanometer architecture. It would mount two 9-inch screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio and offer LTE or 5G connectivity under the new Windows Core OS.These are data that they claim come from the supply chain

Compatible with Android and iCloud

But the surprise comes when talking about its possibilities, and that is that in Forbes they affirm that the new device they would launch would be compatible with Android applicationsand with cloud storage via iCloud Yes, it would tie in with the jewel in the crown of its top two competitors.

The new product that Microsoft would launch on the market could run Android applications, which would greatly expand its possibilities and also have support for iCloud, so it would increase its compatibility with Apple devices. Also remember that iCloud can be downloaded for a few days from the Microsoft Store, a movement that can give clues to the path that Microsoft wants to take.

For now they are rumors, so we leave them in the air, waiting for some official confirmation or at least that these begin to appear insistently. And it is that there would still be a long time, almost a year, until this new release became a reality, so the margin of time is enormous for these data to change.
