Microsoft Surface Duo is a dual-screen Android Phone

This is the biggest surprise of Microsoft today and it’s the Microsoft Surface Duo and just like the Microsoft Surface Neo, this thing is a dual-screen device and my oh my, this one isn’t running on Windows and this one runs on the most popular Operating system for mobile phones, Android. Yep, it’s Android and it’s from Microsoft.

This thing does look like a passport when folded but this one has a dual display and it has a hinge that folds up to 360-degrees. And since we’re getting a dual display on the smartphone, you can run two applications at once on the Microsoft Surface Duo. This is possible thanks to Microsoft partnering with Google to bring the best experience on the smartphone. 

And yes, this one comes with Google Play and you’ll be able to play games and take advantage of the dual screens of the smartphone. You can use one display for the game and the other one for the controller of the game. 

Not much of the hardware inside the smartphone has been discussed which is reasonable since this smartphone will arrive this holiday 2020.
