News & Reviews:   Microsoft Surface Duo pre-order

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that a bunch of renders regarding the Microsoft Surface Solo might have been spotted, giving us a better idea of what to expect if such a device were to exist. The renders claim that the smartphone is expected to come equipped with a front-facing selfie camera towards the top-middle of the device, as well as rounded corners which makes the smartphone a lot more pleasing to look at.

After so many rumours, Microsoft's foldable smartphone Surface Duo is finally going to hit the shelf on 10 September. The device is now available to pre-order with a price of 1,399 USD (~RM5,870). Let's find out what will the Surface Duo offer!

Earlier this month, Panos Panay of Microsoft revealed a photo of himself with the Surface Duo, once more fueling speculation that the device would be coming soon. As an Android tablet with two screens that can interact with each other, it's considered more fascinating than regular tablets. Now, sources claim that the device has been certified on the US FCC, indicating an imminent launch.

News of the Microsoft Surface Duo continues to appear, fueling speculation on the dual-screen tablet's launch window. In June, it was suggested that Microsoft plans to launch it much earlier than expected. Now, a live image of the device once again hints at a launch coming soon.

If a previous rumour is to be believed, the Microsoft Surface Duo could be just around the corner. That's why we're starting to see more details being leaked online. The latest new rumour claims that Microsoft is already working on an Android OS update for the device.

The dual-screen devices that Microsoft has been working on are rather intriguing for us. For sure, their ability to run two different apps that can interact through the separate screens can be invaluable. So, it's great to hear that the Surface Duo is coming soon.

It seems that a leak relating the Microsoft Surface Duo has been spotted on windowscentral.com, hinting that the device will come equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 865 chipset and two 5.6-inch displays. Not only that, but it seems that the aforementioned dual-screened smartphone will most likely be unveiled around June 2020.

When Microsoft announced that it was working on the Surface Duo, a device with two screens, many people must have been sceptical of the idea. Such a concept has never taken off but Microsoft seems confident that it could work. Regardless, the device is coming soon and was even allegedly spotted live.

In last year’s October, Microsoft have debuted two folding devices named Surface Neo and Surface Duo. Both of them are able to be folded inside and outside with a hinge mechanism (not folding screen here). Today, the company has released the Surface Duo preview SDK that allows developers to express their creativity on the two-screen device.

Microsoft have recently revealed their Surface Neo tablet and Surface Duo phone with folding dual screens which can be folded inside and outside. The Surface Neo is likely the more powerful Intel powered device with Microsoft Windows 10X and a keyboard attachment that makes it look like the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo (yeah, the keyboard leaves some of the touchscreen uncovered which then automatically sizes itself accordingly). The Surface Duo phone appears to be an Android-based Microsoft phone (Microsoft say they are working closely with Google).
