Call it the Surface Uno, I guess.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve never had much luck with the Surface Duo. Its dual-screen design is pretty neat, but Microsoft\u2019s execution is lackluster<\/a>\u2014the cameras stink, app support is still quite limited, and the hardware is a bit too fragile<\/a>. Maybe a foldable screen could fix these problems?<\/p>\n

According to Windows Central<\/em><\/a>, sources who are close to Microsoft say that a Surface Duo 3 will embrace a true foldable design, similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4<\/a>. The company designed a dual-screen Surface Duo 3 before changing plans, likely due to the Surface Duo 2\u2019s poor reception.<\/p>\n

If this information is true, the Surface Duo 3 will look fairly different from its predecessors. \u201cPeek Mode\u201d may be replaced by an outer display, and the internal foldable screen will force Microsoft to abandon its 360-degree hinge, a defining feature of existing Surface Duo phones.<\/p>\n

Windows Central<\/em>\u00a0also says that Microsoft is toying with the idea of a full smartphone lineup, including traditional \u201cslab\u201d style devices. And the company may make a greater effort to integrate the Android and Windows operating systems, which could help its mobile devices stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

I should note that\u00a0Windows Central<\/em> is citing anonymous sources. Even if this information is correct, Microsoft could change its mind. A truly foldable Surface Duo would cost a lot more than Microsoft\u2019s dual-screen phones, and more importantly, it would need to compete with Samsung\u2019s foldables.<\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t hold your breath for a foldable Windows phone. Sit tight for a few months, as Microsoft will probably share its plans at a Surface hardware event this fall.<\/p>\n
