According to a new report today, Microsoft’s approach to Android foldables, which certainly stood out, is coming to an end as the Surface Duo 3 looks to use a traditional foldable screen.<\/p>\n

Windows Central says that Microsoft has canceled plans for a dual-screen Surface Duo 3 that would have featured \u201cnarrower and taller edge-to-edge displays, wireless charging, and other improvements.\u201d This design was already finalized and set for end of 2023 availability before it was scrapped. <\/p>\n

The decision to switch to a foldable screen comes \u201cafter a long year of hardware prototyping and experimentation.\u201d There will be a 180-degree hinge, internal foldable screen, and external cover display, with today’s report pointing to the Honor Magic Vs and Vivo X Fold as examples.<\/p>\n

No other details about that foldable or its software experience are available since it’s too early. A release this fall to replace the canceled Surface Duo 3 is unlikely.<\/p>\n

Today’s report says \u201cMicrosoft is eager to expand its line of Android smartphone offerings,\u201d and has \u201cprototyped several traditional slab smartphone designs.\u201d However, there are no concrete plans yet on whether that will move forward.<\/p>\n

More promising is an internal \u201cPerfect Together\u201d effort to integrate \u201cMicrosoft’s Android hardware and Windows PCs.\u201d<\/p>\n

My sources also tell me there’s a larger software effort ongoing internally that’s designed to better differentiate its future Android hardware offerings from the rest of the competition.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
