Microsoft’s first-ever dual-screen Android phone, the Surface Duo is soon hitting the German market. The device costs around $1399 market in the US while it has recently received a discount of $200 in its retail price.
According to a German blog named WindowsArea, the Surface Duo is expected to arrive in Germany somewhere around Spring 2021. The Surface Duo is often mistaken for not being a regular phone when it’s closed because from the outside it looks somewhat like a small notebook. Only when the device is opened, it gives a hint of a foldable phone.
The device rotates a full 360-degree while the working mechanism is similar to the regular foldable phones. It comes with dual 5.6-inch OLED screens.
