Microsoft bets on foldable, though not bendable, devices bbc.com

Microsoft has unveiled two folding devices, with dual touch screens, which it says will create a new category in mobile computing.

But, unlike attempts from its rivals, the firm has not adopted a bendable screen – nor has it decided to include a high-end camera system on the products.

Panos Panay, Microsoft’s chief product officer, gave the BBC a demonstration of the devices ahead of their public unveiling in New York on Wednesday.

"We want people to see the direction we're taking with productivity,” he said, adding that the products will be released in a year’s time.
