ICYMI: We analyzed why the Surface Duo could finally be a winning smartphone model for Microsoft:
The new smartphone will be a foldable device, featuring two separate 5.6 inch screens on either side of a hinge, and it will run a customized version of Google's Android OS. Microsoft noted that the phone will come out in late 2020 but has not disclosed pricing yet.
Here are the three reasons why I think the Surface Duo could finally be a winning smartphone model for Microsoft. Smartphone makers have been trying to nail the foldable form-factor, as its additional screen space would make it easier for consumers to use their phones for certain tasks. Qualcomm President echoed that in conversation with Business Insider Intelligence, saying he's "optimistic on foldable phones, because today the screen is the limiting factor" and that foldable devices can make it easier to consume media, play games, and do work.
The Surface Duo's two screens are designed primarily to enable multitasking rather than providing users with a single large display. That means the device can fold around fully so that only one display is used, or it can be opened partially so that, in landscape mode, it's essentially a miniature laptop.
