    . @Surface Duo represents our vision for the next wave of mobile productivity. It brings together the power of Microsoft and the full ecosystem of Android apps into one device, with two screens that fits in your pocket. Pumped for you to check it out. https://blogs.windows.com/..…

    Microsoft and phones have one thing consistent..... They are always late and outdated on arrival.

    My initial reaction to the Microsoft Duo's $1400 price tag is that I guess Microsoft doesn't really want very many people to buy it. https://www.theverge.com/...

    With Surface Duo, we're unlocking the power of two screens and bringing together the best of Microsoft 365 and Android to help people be more productive in a multi-sense, multi-device world. https://twitter.com/...

    The newest #Android phone is available to order! At $1,399, I think this might be the highest price for a first-time Android debut. Curious to see how it plays out. Looking forward to trying one. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/ ...

    Largely as expected then, clever concept, last year's specs. Camera and battery a worry. https://twitter.com/...

    Microsoft is including a Surface Duo bumper case inside the box. It's unusual for phone makers to include cases. This bumper is designed to really protect the edges of the Duo displays and perhaps reduce the appearance of the bezels https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.co…

    It took Microsoft until the Surface Pro 3 to nail the hardware. I think it's easy to dismiss the Surface Duo based on its $1,400 price and hardware specs, but that entirely misses the point. Microsoft thinks foldables and dual-screens will change mobile devices like this: https:/…

    This is not a phone for 99% of people. It's a phone for Surface fans. Microsoft put in what they could to make this SUPER thin device work. It's not meant for everyone. https://twitter.com/...

    Looks like any impressions of the Microsoft Surface Duo are about the design, not the actual hardware or usage. But nice that it looks pretty slick. Still worth paying $1,399 though? https://www.cnet.com/...

    I haven't used the final Microsoft Surface Duo yet, but I did get to try the device's hinge, and look through to see the chips and batteries inside. Here's an exclusive deeper dive into why Microsoft is taking a different approach to dual screens. https://www.cnet.com/...
