The company began taking orders Wednesday for the Surface Duo, a new dual-screen Android device that costs $1,399 and begins shipping in September.
The Duo has two 5.6-inch displays and, when opened like a book, is a slim 4.8 millimeters thick, making it what the company says is the thinnest device on the market. Microsoft engineers say that instead of adopting a single folding screen, as Samsung does, they chose to connect two displays on a hinge because it allows for sturdier glass.
Adding a mobile device to its Surface line of computers is a reversal for Microsoft after its short-lived ownership of smartphone-maker Nokia and its difficulties in transitioning its Windows operating system to the mobile era. Apple and Google's Android long ago cornered the market on phone operating systems, but Microsoft's rare partnership with Google means Duo comes with a suite of Android apps.
Eh...
Now, look. Microsoft is pretty good at the OS thing, or they’ve at least smashed everyone else into submission. X Box is also pretty ok, sometimes. Surface? Actually not half bad. But leave the smartphones to Apple and Samsung. You’re only going to get embarrassed, Microsoft.
NEVER AGAIN.....Microsoft you blew it....
Windows bricked my windows phone.
Is Microsoft using Android loll wat happened?
Il be impressed with this device if it has android on one screen & Microsoft on the other then has an option to make one device fill both screens. Pre ordering
Yeh it's gonna bomb. But they gotta pay for Tik Tok somehow.
$1400, outdated hardware, bulky, nope.
$ 1,300 and no 5G - not promising
I think it'll be another fail.
Will probably be as successful as the Zune
