In the middle of April this year, all Windows mobile phones in Microsoft's American online store were sold out. In January, Microsoft executives announced that there would be no major version update of Windows 10 Mobile, and only security updates would follow, which basically declared the death penalty of Windows mobile phones. The following news seems to rekindle hope for people looking for Microsoft mobile phones.

Recently, a Microsoft patent named "Curved Edge Display for Controlling Brightness" was exposed. This patent can make the image display more natural on the curved screen. To be precise, Microsoft embeds a layer of special material in the curved screen, so that the image will not be distorted, and the curved screen will show a flat effect. This technology can be applied to hyperboloid folding mobile phones.

It was previously reported that the Microsoft Surface Phone project was cut off two years ago, and the application date of the above patent was January 31, 2017, which indicates that the Surface Phone plan is still in progress. Previously, in the Windows 10 RS5 preview 17650, Microsoft added the phone related Phone API, which can complete the normal operation of voice and video calls in Win10, so it is considered another evidence of the existence of the Surface Phone project.
