After a long journey through the patent approvals process, Samsung has been granted a patent for “Portable device comprising a touch-screen display, and method for controlling same” which describes numerous dual-screen smartphone patents such as how to control such devices.

The patent dates back all the way to 2013, with some parts stretching to 2011, and may mean trouble for Microsoft’s own dual-screen patent, simply “Display Device“, though Microsoft’s patent appears somewhat more generic and covers both folding tablets and folding phones and only dates to 2017.

Hopefully, we will see some of the good and innovative ideas, such as clipboard management and app switching, we will see more dual-screen smartphone patents also show up in actual devices in the future.
