In a new claim, a recent leak suggests that Microsoft was way ahead of other manufacturers as they created a dual display device in 2015. Well, Microsoft has not said anything official, but via a new leak, it appears the Redmond giant has created a dual display device.

It was created to end the limitations of primitive smartphones and to bring multitasking, more room for entertainment, etc. Microsoft wanted it to be a more productive device for its users. It was a practical solution for the problems that users were facing in those days.

Motivated by user research highlighting some of the limitations of current smartphones, the aim of this concept was to explore a practical solution which allows users to be more productive.”
