According to Microsoft, these are the reasons why the use of dual screen devices is the future

If it currently seems that the trend we are experiencing in telephony and electronics in general is directed above all to the use of screens without frames or at least with very small frames(bezel less) The next move may revolve around the use of folding screens.

We are not talking about curved screens (that seems to be over) but about devices that can be closed around their screen as if it were a bookAn option that has just arrived on the market with models like the ZTE Axon M and which still has a long way to go to become an alternative.For this, manufacturers are investigating and a good example of this are the patents and rumors that flood the network. Manufacturers among which Microsoft cannot be missing.

And it is that the American giant has filed a patent for a possible mobile phone with a folding screen. A rumor that we have already talked about on some occasion and that has served as a way for Microsoft to give their opinion on the situation of this type of proposal and why is it time to launch or start to think of a dual-screen flip phone:

The use of the folding screen enables something that is increasingly in demand. The aim is to achieve larger screens without affecting the usability of the device (it is not interesting to walk with 7-inch diagonal terminals) and here the double screen plays a fundamental role. In fact, it may not take us long to see how the diagonals of mobile phones begin to decrease when this type of proposal becomes a reality (we already saw it a year ago when feature phones were getting smaller).

"It would be like seeing the _clamshell_ or shell-type terminals return from the past, still so popular in markets like the American or Japanese, but in a 2.0 version. A good example is the exclusive Samsung Galaxy W2018."

The only thing that doesn't quite fit in and manufacturers have work ahead of them here is to make these terminals fit in with a current trend such as to achieve the most Thin on the market, a factor that logically (two screens mean a greater thickness) these models will not be able to achieve, at least initially. _Do you think it will take a little or a long time to see the first phones with this architecture?_
