This concept design makes us dream of what Andromeda looks like

There is a desire to see new devices from Microsoft, especially now that laptops and convertibles with ARM processors are a reality. In fact we have been hearing rumors for some time about a terminal known as Microsoft Andromeda, a code name for a folding device halfway between _smartphone_ and tablet that would have an ARM processor and Windows 10 operating system.

It seems that apart from little imagination, because Andromeda is also the name of the project that Google has to achieve the convergence of all the versions of its operating systems, Android and Chrome OS, we are on track to continue waiting for new dataA wait that is enlivened thanks to the concepts that are more or less successful, are flooding social networks. A concept like the one at hand, the work of a designer such as David Breyer, who imagines what the Microsoft mobile device could be like based on the data that until they have now been disseminated.

To create this design, disseminated through his Twitter account, one of the patents that Microsoft has released has been taken into account , clearly on the other hand and as we have already said on many occasions, they do not mean anything in particular. A patent may or may not eventually become a reality, although its main purpose is to prevent another company from taking advantage of that specific design, functionality or feature.

And having said all this, it wouldn't be the first time that a patent helps to unveil a subsequent release, since even if they are not respected with total fidelity, if they can serve to outline what we could see in the market.

From the device that for now is known as Andromeda we intuit that it could have a double folding OLED screen (solution similar to that used by ZTE with the Axon M) that would be joined by means of a completely new system of innovative hinges. A screen to which the use of a USB Type C port and a charging port similar to the one used in the latest Surface would be added.

It's just about imagining, dreaming a bit in the absence of knowing new details, especially now that the new laptops and convertibles are beginning to see the light of day along with Microsoft's mobile platform every time offers fewer alternatives. A design that reminds us, saving the distance, of the Microsoft Curier that we already saw in 2009.
