While Windows on smartphones is no more, Microsoft is hoping to create a new category-defining mobile device, “Andromeda,” that’s aimed at an entirely new demographic and puts pen and digital inking at the forefront of the experience. According to Windows Central’s sources, the device is a foldable tablet that runs Windows 10 built with Windows Core OS, along with CShell to take advantage of its foldable display.



I make the comparison to a phone because I’m also hearing that it has telephony capabilities, meaning you could replace your actual smartphone with it and still be able to take calls and texts. My sources make it clear, however, that this is not supposed to be a smartphone replacement but rather a device similar to the canceled “Microsoft Courier.” In short, Andromeda is a digital pocket notebook.
