In this constant path of technology companies to deliver disruptive devices and stand out from the competition, Microsoft would work on a cell-type device that would also perform the functions of a computer.

The project, according to the specialized media The Verge, is named by the technology company as Andromeda and has already appeared in several patent reports .

According to the US portal, it is a portable and collapsible dual screen device that would not occupy much more than a current cell phone but that, once opened, would offer an almost square format that would be used as a laptop.

that in addition to being deployed to offer the entire surface as a screen, the equipment could be opened as a conventional laptop and use the lower screen to display a virtual keyboard

In other words, it would be a pocket surface, the range of hybrid devices (tablet and computer) from Microsoft. The technology company described Andromeda as something that she worked silently and that would bring to life a new range of devices that would combine the lines of a PC and a mobile phone.

Rumors indicate that Andrómeda would have a digital pen to facilitate interaction and also have blog-like applications. It is not clear, however, whether the Intel or Qualcomm computer processors.

The Verge has consulted Microsoft documents detailing the most important points of the project and the proof that it is the company's big bet to gain ground in the smartphone market. The goal, even, is to answer business problems with their Windows Phone phones.
