Microsoft patents foldable smartphone that can transform into a tablet

Microsoft looks to have created a solution to the awkward conflict of screen size against portability with smartphones in a patent for a new foldable screen.
A tri-screen system could see the display extended into a full tablet, tented device or mini-laptop, presenting a fully adaptable hybrid device.
The Verge is reporting that the patent further solidifies the company’s intent to return to the smartphone market after the eventual failure of its costly 2014 Nokia mobile sector acquisition
