The new foldable tablet by Microsoft, namely Surface Duo is just around the corner. A company blog reveals the planned schedule for bringing the Surface Duo to market and some of its main features.
With this device, Microsoft wants to catch up with other brands that have already dared to launch folding mobile phones in book format. As the date for Surface Duo hits stores gets closer, the more we know about this product. Several company executives have shared images using this folding mobile and new images have been leaked about its design and qualities.
In this line appeared this morning a new blog that tells us about the price and date of sale. Frank Buchholz signs this information in which he assures that it will be on September 10 when we see this device in stores and whose price will be around $1,399. “Surface Duo offers the easiest way to multitask on the go, bringing together the power of Microsoft 365 experiences and the full Android mobile app ecosystem,” says Buchholz.

The hinge seems to be one of its most interesting features as it allows you to fold with a clean 360-degree turn and use your two 5.6-inch displays individually or together. Having a single 11MP camera next to one of the screens, that twist would allow us to take normal photographs as well as selfies.
Far from the rest of the physical features that we know about from previous leaks, the blog highlights more specific options for business users, including enterprise-grade security thanks to a custom-designed Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), as well as easy administration. from mobile devices through Microsoft Intune or other solutions. Additionally, Microsoft will allow business users to access a cloud-based Windows 10 experience with Windows Virtual Desktop.
Although the blog does not provide much more information about it, with the tweet from Panos Panay, Chief Product Office of Microsoft, it is expected to be a preview and soon we will know each and every one of the specifications included in the new Surface Duo.
That official presentation, at least, we know that it is about to fall so that in less than a month it will go on sale on September 10, we do not know if it will be worldwide at the same time, and that it will be with a starting price of 1,399 dollars and to be able to compare it with the other folding mobiles that currently exist, such as the Huawei Mate X and the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
