Dual-screen smartphone from HTC: patent reveals
We can note looking this draft that: one screen would remain on the handset;
the other would emerge from the side and slide across to combine into one
complete display.
This patent also means that HTC looking to move away from
traditional
screen formats. But the doubt exists in its capacity to seduce the market.
Therefore Androidauthority thinks that:
‘’Several manufacturers have tried to
utilise the technology on smartphones, such as with the Kyocera Echo. While innovative or at least
interesting for its time, the Echo was a commercial flop and failed to
catch on with consumers. On top of that, HTC is not in the best
financial shape at the moment and the company is much more likely to keep its attention
fully focused on developing the recently-released One.’’
