Microsoft’s next foldable Surface phone won’t be a dual-screen device, according to a source familiar with the company’s plans. After years of prototyping and experimenting with hardware, Microsoft decided to move to a more traditional foldable screen design with 180-degree hinges and a folding design.

Microsoft’s Surface Duo 3, which features a narrower bezel on the screen, wireless charging and other improvements, was previously scheduled to launch in late 2023, the report said. That dual-screen design has now been scrapped, however, and the Surface team is now focused on offering a foldable design.

While the hardware specifications for Microsoft’s new foldable Surface are not yet known, IT Home has learned that the reported sources say there is no specific shipping window for the device, meaning it is unlikely to ship this fall.

The sources also said a larger software effort is underway internally at Microsoft aimed at better differentiating its future Android hardware products from other competitors. Dubbed “Perfect Together,” the effort aims to provide an ecosystem experience between Microsoft’s Android hardware and Windows PCS similar to the one between an iPhone and a Mac.

Microsoft is also eager to expand its other Android smartphone lines and has been exploring different form factors beyond foldable devices, according to sources. According to the leaks, Microsoft has already prototyped several traditional, straight-panel smartphones to be sold as “mainstream” Surface phones, while foldable devices will be available for audiophiles.
