Although for a while it gave a lot to talk about, it was a long time since we had news of that Folding surface on which he was found to be working Microsoft, but a leak has uncovered a few new details of it and has even directed us towards some images which would give us a pretty good idea of what it would look like.
This concept reveals the design of the folding Surface
The information comes to us from The Verge, which apparently has had access to internal documents of Microsoft About this Folding surface, which takes place at the moment under the name of "AndromedaAnd we are going to start with the most interesting thing that this leak has revealed to us, which would be the design, because although it does not include any photography, it has served to discover that its appearance is virtually identical to that of the concept created by the designer David breyer.
As you can see, it corresponds quite well with what we expected from it thanks to previous leaks, which means that "folding" in this case means talking about dual displays, not flexible, so there would be a hinge. Its appearance is basically that of a "mini" convertible and other newly appeared records They confirm that it could be used in 5 different positions
Great prominence for the stylus, LG screens, ARM processors ...
To what extent is this convertible going to be "mini"? We can not say anything yet for sure because we are far from having exact data on the size of the screen, but in the cited documents they refer to it as a pocket device. Taking into account that we have more and more phablets and larger sizes, however, this does not clarify too much.
What does seem quite certain is that the stylus It is going to have a great role and that work is being done to develop specific apps to take notes with it. Another interesting detail that this leak leaves us is that at the moment we are working with ARM processors (we assume that with the new Snapdragon 850), and a recent tweet from Panay seems to point to that it would be LG the one who would be in charge of the screens.
Expected to arrive in 2018
The sources of the leak insist that its launch cannot be confirmed yet, since the possibility that Microsoft decides to cancel the project still exists, and that would invite us to think that perhaps we should not wait for a debut too soon, it seems that the plan for now is still to present it this year, as other sources had pointed out not long ago about the Surface that could arrive in 2018.
As it happened with the Surface At the time, in any case, the Redmond plan seems to be that their new tablet is just the spearhead of a new format that would try to fill the gap left by the failure of Windows Phone, so that Its launch should be followed by the proposals of other manufacturers that usually work on devices with Windows 10, which would already arrive in 2019.
