Microsoft has decided to transfer its vision from Surface to Android, despite its own style: this has enhanced the mobile phone with two screens. And you want it to be unique, and perfect to offer a different way of operating systems: the company is upgraded various ways to sync the interface to the Microsoft Surface Duo. Because two screens can offer more than just behavior like a tablet.
Remember the & # 39; s table & # 39; s Microsoft Surface Duo? The company announced its Android phone in two screens a few months ago without adding it to the stream. Yes, we know its design, and we also know some of its features, but so far. In fact, we do not know its price and availability; more than Christmas is expected for the year 2020. Also, since Microsoft wants its Surface Duo to be more appealing to its future owners, the company has developed various templates for interactive apps that the creators can create to make the system more compatible with the dual screen.
Various ways to make good use of a double screen
Folding mobiles have introduced new ways to use Android. Google has already been preparing an app for these requirements months before Samsung launches its Galaxy Fold: from photos so that the interface fits neatly and clearly into screen magnification Ways to differentiate the use of several applications simultaneously. After that, each brand has incorporated its idea that the & # 39; expanded & # 39; how they should behave, a practice that Microsoft has decided to follow.
The Microsoft Surface Duo is not a foldable phone to use because its screen doesn't rotate constantly: the handles separate the panel. Just as manufacturers like Sony do with their P tablet, or ZTE with their Axon M, Microsoft is betting on the use of two independent panels to do so. to extend the interface or divide it into as many systems as the user sees fit. This extends the possibilities, both for the user and for the developer. Because how can the app take advantage of these two screens to provide independent information to each?
Microsoft has planned different uses for the Surface Duo. And recently it has created different templates that can be used in connection applications. For example, there are & # 39; properties & # 39;
- Application on screen. A developer can choose to have their app run on one of the panels while the other is free for the user to open another app or game. This functionality can be adapted for direct and indirect use.
- Two screens are used: main and options. The developer can sync the app to split tasks between the two screens. For example, if you are a photo editor, you can leave the image with the changes on the left and leave all the editing screen power. This use is appropriate for the specific and above.
- Continued use of two screens. As if it were a tablet, apps can use two screens at the same time to expand the interface.
In addition to rendering various templates or & # 39; properties & # 39; of the Surface Duo interface, Microsoft has also developed code codes for each developer to include in their apps through Android Studio (must be renewed). All the information is already available on the Microsoft development website. An updated SDK is also available.
