Now Windows Central has reported (citing unnamed sources) that Microsoft’s next foldable Surface phone won’t be a dual-screen device. Whilst it could make calls and send SMS messages, Microsoft did not describe it as a phone per se. It supported the Surface Pen and the device itself was 4.8mm thin – running Android 10.

The Surface Duo was a two-screen folding phone, that featured two 5.6in screens (resolution of 1800×1350 each) joined together with a hinge that folded a full 360 degrees.Įssentially, the phone opened up like a book, but could then fold all the way round. Matters were not helped when the Surface Duo 2 received mixed reviews, as people were underwhelmed by the Duo specs. Surface Neoīoth of those devices featured a hinge in the middle for a mechanical fold, rather than utilising a foldable screen like the Samsung Galaxy Fold. Microsoft in 2020 had also previewed a dual-screen tablet called the Surface Neo, but chose not to bring that tablet device to market. In Germany the device was priced at 1,549 euros.īut less than seven months after it was launched in the US, the writing seemed to be on the wall for the Surface Duo, when it became available online for more than 50 percent off its recommended retail price. The Surface Duo was launched in Europe in February 2021, but was again saddled with a ‘premium’ purchase price in the UK starting at £1,349. When the Microsoft Surface Duo 1 went on sale in the United States in Q3 2020, prices started at an eye-watering $1,399 for the 128GB version, rising to $1,499 for the 256GB version. It comes after Microsoft faced questions as to whether (given its track record with mobiles), it could convince consumers and business users to back the design concept it had introduced with the Surface Duo 1 and 2. Instead, Microsoft’s dual-screen Surface Duo 3 will pivot to new foldable screen design that will boast a 180-degree hinge, it has been reported. Microsoft is once again abandoning a mobile design, after it was reported that its next Surface Duo phone will not be a dual-screen device.
