Microsoft is back in the smartphone business -- sort of -- with a new Android-powered folding device it claims fills a needed gap in mobile computing.

The tech giant began taking orders Wednesday for its Surface Duo, a dual-screen handset starting at $1,399. Microsoft first announced the device last October.

"Our internal research shows that three out of four people report struggling to complete complex tasks while away from their computer. That's because smartphones with a single screen aren't designed for you to easily do multiple things at once." The new device with a folded display of 5.6 inches opening up to an 8.1-inch screen, will compete against other folding handsets from Samsung, Huawei and others.
