Microsoft's "SurfacePhone" Foldable Phone Patent Unveils Front Design, Resembling Surface Duo

A patent for the rumored Microsoft foldable phone, "SurfacePhone," has been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), revealing the phone's front design. The patent image shows that the phone, when unfolded, does not adopt the popular "punch-hole" screen design. Instead, it features relatively wide bezels, resembling the style of Microsoft's previously released Surface Duo. Earlier, on June 20th, Microsoft received another patent showcasing a triple rear camera setup for this SurfacePhone, along with a foldable kickstand similar to the Surface Pro.

This series of patent disclosures strongly suggests that Microsoft is actively developing a foldable device dubbed "SurfacePhone." However, the actual release of this new SurfacePhone and its timeline remain uncertain. IT Home will continue to monitor the situation and provide you with the latest updates.

Patent Details:

The patent image showcases the unfolded front design of the "SurfacePhone," opting against the current trend of "punch-hole displays." It maintains a wider bezel design, aligning it with Microsoft's previous Surface Duo style. The Surface Duo, as you may know, features a dual-screen design, with two screens connected by a hinge that unfolds to form a larger display.

Furthermore, a separate patent granted to Microsoft on June 20th this year presents the rear camera setup for this foldable SurfacePhone. The patent reveals that the phone will utilize a triple rear camera configuration and include a foldable kickstand reminiscent of the Surface Pro. This kickstand allows the phone to be fixed at various angles, facilitating video viewing, video calls, and other operations.

Future Outlook for SurfacePhone:

Microsoft has consistently strived to expand its presence in the mobile device market. The emergence of the SurfacePhone could be a significant breakthrough for Microsoft in the mobile realm. The introduction of this foldable phone has the potential to open up new market opportunities for Microsoft and enable them to compete with other phone manufacturers in the foldable phone arena.

However, the release date and specific configurations of this "SurfacePhone" are still under wraps. We await further official announcements from Microsoft regarding this highly anticipated device. IT Home will remain vigilant in tracking developments and provide you with the latest news.
