New Surface Duo images appear as release draws closer

The Surface Duo, which Microsoft announced last year in October, was earlier alleged to arrive during the 2020 season . The dual-screen device sure looks more robust than foldable phones out there and will definitely help the corporate crack the smartphone market this point around. Given the supposed dated internals of the device, a Q4 launch won't be an honest idea. and that is perhaps why the device are going to be released before expected.

Surface Duo release date had leaked earlier


According to author Paul Thurrott, Microsoft's most precious Professionals (MVP)s are invited for a virtual briefing for the Surface Duo on August 12. If that is the case, the device is perhaps ready for show time.

This is in line with a July report which said production has started and therefore the device are going to be released on August 24.


 The phone has apparently been given the go-ahead by the FCC and Bluetooth SIG already. we've also been seeing Microsoft executives tease the device.

Leaker Evan Blass has also shared some new pictures of the Surface Duo and that we can see various Google and Microsoft apps thereon , including the sting browser. The default program is Google's, unsurprisingly. After all, this is often an Android phone.
 



This is the AT&T-locked version, and in line with Blass' earlier prediction that Microsoft will team with the carrier to release the device within the US. this suggests that it'd be carrier exclusive at launch. 

The Surface Duo will likely boast two 5.6-inch AMOLED displays held together by a 360-degree hinge. The combined land are going to be 8.3-inches and therefore the device doesn't have a canopy display.

It will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 and only offer LTE connectivity. it's tipped to supply 6GB of RAM and 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of non-expandable storage. it's expected to feature a lone 11MP sensor and a 3,460mAh battery. The Surface Pen also will be supported.

Pricing details haven't surfaced yet but it'll likely cost a reasonably penny. 

What Surface Duo lacks on the hardware side will supposedly be compensated for on the software front. If leaks are to travel by, Microsoft has been working really hard on the device's software and has even acquired a corporation especially for the phone and its successor.

Of course, that's to not say that there's any real substitute for powerful specs and therefore the lack of 5G connectivity might alienate some buyers.
