There are already several manufacturers that have announced or filtering - intentionally or not - that they are working on devices with folding screens. One of the most important seems to join the race with all its arsenal, and that Microsoft could develop a folding tablet with Windows 10.

In addition, it would do so in ARM architecture, that is, with Snapdragon processor. We already know that both Microsoft and Qualcomm work side by side to adapt W10 to this architecture, a project that seems to go smoothly. This would put both companies at the same level as Samsung and Huawei, the two brands that already work in mobile phones.

It is not the first time that the creator of Windows has a similar idea. According to some sources, there has already been a folding tablet project for at least seven years called Courier, before the rest of the manufacturers were ahead of Microsoft on the right. This project for 2018 revives the idea under the name of Andromeda.

In this case, things have changed a lot. In addition to the ARM architecture, among the few data available on this new device are the references to electronic ink. From there, everything is intuition: it may be half tablet or half electronic notepad. Little can be said about it for now.

Together with ARM, the electronic ink would be a substantial improvement in autonomy, easily reaching several days of battery even with Windows 10. For now, all the information on W10 with Snapdragon reaffirm this hypothesis.

The Andromeda tablet prototype with Windows 10 and Snapdragon will be in the best of cases for next year. It is even possible that it is delayed or never is, because it is not the first time that Redmond abandon a project on the fly.

Little is known about specifications, size, dimensions or screen quality, it is a simple sketch of what could be a totally innovative device, with the capacity to create a market and demand that does not exist today.
