Microsoft’s foldable Phone will Have a " Panos Panay" camera

Microsoft invited developers and journalists to a Berlin-based Surface event on Monday. The company’s Chief Product Officer, Panos Panay attended the event and was asked many questions about approaching Surface devices. whereas he didn't reveal abundant, he did mention that Microsoft’s approaching collapsible  phone, the Surface couple, can have “a first camera”.

Interestingly, the Surface couple example that was shown off earlier solely had one selfie camera. the rear of the device had a cutout for under one primary optical lens similarly. This begs the question – however smart will one camera unit be?

For this to figure, Microsoft is functioning on a noteworthy new technology to suit associate innovative camera system within the device’s skinny type issue. This technology is delineated  in one among Microsoft’s latest printed patents.

The patent shows a optical lens associated a picture device unit which will be touched into place with the assistance of an mechanism. the 2 separate units may be placed along once required (when taking pictures) and might be touched aloof from one another once not required (once the device is folded).

However, as this is often solely a patent, the technology would possibly truly ne'er see the sunshine of the day. Microsoft may need one thing entirely totally different within the works and solely time can tell however the Surface couple seems to be.
