Microsoft is taking a return in the mobile industry since their launched foldable phone/tablet idea named "Courier" back in 2009 was called-off. Some may be delighted to overhear that Microsoft might be operating a design on a foldable mobile device.

The company applied for a patent for mobile phones presenting a modern genre of a foldable joint in 2014 as per ZDNet. This patent was initially detected by the MSPowerUser.com website, and it indicates that Microsoft is not quitting the mobile world. Rumors are then claiming that Microsoft may carry out the patented technology within the "Surface" placard.

The website patents.justia.com said that Kabir Siddiqui, a designer who was recorded for the new flexible hinge patent of Microsoft. He is famous for many other hinge-related Microsoft patents.

The recently certified Microsoft patent visualizes a mobile device with a nonstop viewing space expanding across the foldable section. This is seemingly close to the dual-screen idea of "Courier."

According to PCWorld, this might be a thrilling concept but a serious problem is, this patent is aged. It was a patent that the U.S. Patent Office finally certified before and an old concept of Microsoft for foldable mobile devices in 2014.

It is to consider that mobile devices were very favorable for Microsoft just before as compared today's generation. Both LG and Samsung were rumored last week that they also envision in presenting foldable phone designs in 2017.

This patent can be utilized to both mobile and desktop, with links to secondary device and an external display. It indicates that the forthcoming Surface mobile device is category-defining merchandise as the original Surface. The Microsoft patent is not going deeper into some technological information.

The recent revelation of Microsoft about Windows 10 on ARM operating system with emulation for x86 built-in is seemingly real this 2017. If this happens, Microsoft will not potentially release a prototype Surface mobile device 2017.
