The Surface Duo

The Surface Duo is Microsoft's bet to try to re-emerge in the telephone market. After the fiasco with Nokia and the adventure with Windows Phone, the American company has pinned its hopes on a dual-screen phone, foldable, not flexible, and with Android as operating system.

A Surface Duo that, unlike the Surface Neo, the double-screen bet on the tablet market, you can already buy, at least in the United States , in the Microsoft Store. This means that your reach to other markets may be closer.

Now available in Microsoft Store

The Surface Duo, announced in mid-August, can now be purchased at this link in the Microsoft Store. We can choose between any of the two configurations. Either the 128 GB capacity model for $1,399 or if we prefer, the 256 GB model for $1,499

Of the rest of benefits, note that we are facing a terminal with two 5.6-inch (8.1-inch) AMOLED screens open) with a resolution of 1800 x 1350 pixels and 401 dpi. Inside they hide a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor supported by 6 GB of RAM, powered by a 3,460 mAh battery and Android 10 as the operating system.

Microsoft wants to promote the use of the Surface Duo, betting on applications that exploit its divided screen of which we have already seen some examples in the that the American company was working on.

And while the Surface duo is already a reality, all eyes are turning to the Surface Neo, a device that some indications suggested would be delayed, a delay that now has confirmed Panos Panay in an interview with The Verge, in which he highlights that the Surface Neo has been delayed, not cancelled.
