On the Microsoft Store website, that's currently $1,199, although we can't say how long that discount will last. Microsoft was initially charging $1,399 for the 128GB version of the Surface Duo. The (also delayed) Huawei Mate X went for the equivalent of $2,400 when it was released.

Last year, when Samsung released its Galaxy Fold after a series of design failures were discovered by reviewers just before launch, it cost $1,980. How much does the Surface Duo cost?įoldable phones aren't cheap. Here's what else you need to know about the Surface Duo. That's the point, we look at where the Surface Duo fits in the world, and why Microsoft chose to make a new handheld device after a series of embarrassing multibillion-dollar attempts that ended in failure. In Microsoft's two-screen Surface Duo isn't an iPhone or Galaxy Fold.

But in the end, he went deeper in in the full review and said, "The sense of flow that the Duo aspires to - that feel of things working well together, the device not getting in the way - hasn't been there for me." Stein also talks about why he hasn't like dual-screen devices before, and why the Surface Duo may be the device to change his mind. Microsoft shipped us a near-production prototype device with the screens replaced by clear glass so we can see the inner working and learn how it works. In I'm already folding in love with the feel of Microsoft's Surface Duo, Stein shares what it was like to hold a Surface Duo prototype. (Or you can just read our final Surface Duo review here.) The real question remains if it can compete with Samsung’s sheer dominance of the foldable market.Still, Microsoft invited us to talk with its engineers about how the Surface Duo was conceived, the technology invented to make it possible and how it works.

Rectification of these two shows that Microsoft is both ready to listen and learn from criticism and is quite serious about making the Duo a winner like it has done with its Surface Pro and Surface Book lines. The lack of NFC also reduced the appeal of Surface Duo for use in cities like London, England where contactless payments are the norm for public transport and leisure spending. Microsoft also did not launch the Surface Duo with 5G when it debuted in 2019, a strange misstep from the company - especially as 5G was beginning to proliferate worldwide. Microsoft believed the Duo didn’t have to compete on specs when its unique form factor was selling point enough, but that ended up being proved wrong and now there are even more competitive offerings from Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi for those who want a foldable device. Microsoft is also reportedly adding in a Snapdragon 888, alleviating the original Duo’s flaw of shipping with an outdated chip - provided it ships on time, that is.
An earlier prototype of the device showcased a possible design direction for the Duo 2, with Microsoft adding in multiple camera lenses and a new black colorway. This isn’t the first Surface Duo 2 leak to make its way online. However, Windows Central speculates that the Duo could support some form of reverse wireless charging for the Surface Pen, noting that the Qi wireless charging coil could be too big to fit into a device like the Duo without running into hearing issues or increasing the thickness unreasonably. It’s not clear if the Duo 2 will support Qi charging, for example. Like with other FCC documents for pre-release products, the details are scarce.
The documents also hint at the addition of wireless charging support and ultra-wideband for tracking accessories and enabling scenarios like Nearby Share.
A new set of FCC documents spotted by Windows Central confirm the addition of two missing features from the original Duo, 5G, and NFC.

Microsoft is holding a Surface event on Wednesday, September 22 that’s expected to see the launch of a wide range of new devices.
