Microsoft finally launched Surface Duo which was announced last October. No, it is not one of those trending foldable smartphones. There is a gap between them as clearly shown in the pictures. Netizens are already talking about the design whether the company got it right or not.
Specification
The smartphone comes with two 5’6″ screen with old fashioned bezels which seems quite backdated. We have already seen this type of concept on an LG smartphone. It comes with a 360-degree hinge so that you could easily fold the device at the back to use one screen when needed. The UI looks smart and specially designed for multitasking. Looks like they have designed the smartphone keeping productivity in mind unlike Galaxy Flip which has unique social media apps tailored for the foldable screen.
The smartphone comes with a starting price tag of $1,399/- and $1,599/- if you opt for a 256GB storage version which comes with a surface pen as well. This makes Surface Duo costlier than any other phone in the market.
