After the notch, the phone industry is already hurtling towards its next big thing. Enough reports have hinted that another form factor is coming — the dual-screen, foldable phone. With enough luck, we might see these new phones sooner than later.

Previously, Samsung has already hinted that an upcoming Galaxy Note will tout two screens and a foldable hinge. However, a new leak has revealed that Microsoft is developing their own take on a foldable and pocketable phone.

Called the Andromeda, the device popped up in a leaked internal memo. Despite this, it will not revive the now-defunct Windows Phone line. Instead, Microsoft will market it as a Surface device.

Prior to the leak, the rumor mill has already speculated that Microsoft has been developing a secret device for two years now. Further, recent patents and plans confirm the existence of the foldable Surface.

Since its inception, the Surface line has blurred the lines between laptops and tablets. The series has offered hybrid designs that doubled as either configuration.

Based on the leaked memo, the planned device will likewise blur the lines between tablets and phones. Currently, phablets already do an excellent job at creating a market between the two form factors.

Microsoft’s planned Surface creates a new design that functions as both a phone and a tablet, rather than just an in-between. Also, the device will likely carry its own stylus and dedicated software.

Regardless of the rumors, Microsoft warns that plans aren’t final yet. The company can still pull the device from production at any time. However, if seen to completion, the device will likely make a debut later this year.
