Microsoft is about to release its latest tablet, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, in a few hours. A new report claims that the company's upcoming tablet will feature an adjustable screen size through the "Smart Frame" technology, a report from Next Web said on Tuesday.
"Microsoft wanted to fit a larger screen into a device the size of the Surface Pro 3, making it akin to the Dell XPS 13's beautiful 'edgeless' display. That's all fine and dandy until you realize that the screen will be constantly registering accidental touch inputs without an inert frame for your fingers to hold when using it in tablet mode," the report said.
The report further states that the company has developed a technology that will allow tablet users to comfortably change the screen size according to users' preferences.
"Microsoft worked on a new technology which allows changing the screen size, depending on how the tablet is used. This means that if you'll use it in landscape model the diagonal will measure 13-inch, while in tablet mode, its diagonal will be smaller at 12-inch. This new smart frame feature will allow the users to hold their tablets comfortably, without touching the outer edges of the display. It is said that the screen bezel of the Surface Pro 4 will resemble Dell XPS 13's screen and will support a higher resolution (4K or 5K).," the report said.
Neuro Gadget also reports that Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is expected to be thinner and lighter compared with its predecessor, the Surface Pro 3. It was said that old ports will likely be integrated in the upcoming tablet. It was also reported that the tablet's stylus has been improved for precision, accuracy and sensitivity.
