The Smart Phone Companies are introducing new mobiles with foldable technology and Korean Giant Samsung also released it Foldable phones. The good news for Foldable device lovers is that now they can run their device interface with Windows.
Microsoft launched Windows on dual screen foldable devices and convertible Laptops. The Microsoft’s new version of Windows for foldable devices is called Windows 10X. This is an altered form of Microsoft Windows 10 as the name suggests. For other devices the company has unveiled the highly anticipated Windows 10 emulator to try a new OS.
As far as the interface of Windows 10X is considered it has a standard taskbar with all familiar buttons available commonly in a Windows Operating Systems for PCs. The start button is placed at the center of the shortcuts. The Start Menu is quite same as Android’s App arranged with grid style icon. A separate Tab for recently used apps and files is also placed but with Windows’s traditional tile design. Same like as in Galaxy Fold a single app can be stretched across the two screens or can be opened to a single pane while a second app is on the other one.
The emulator provides multiple orientations including “Book Mode” by which screen can be set on bothe “Landscape Mode” and Portrait Mode” due to which the device looks same like a Laptop. The Windows 10X has also allows “Tablet Mode” that turns off one display once it is folded out of sight.
Emulator App removes the physical gap while taking the screenshots and also can capture the both screen separately.
The Dual Screen’s working is shown in the video below.
Some limitations and issues are still there in the OS of the Windows 10X but Microsoft will resolve them all and will release a balanced OS for the first Windows 10X Device.
