Last year, Microsoft had unveiled its two upcoming devices featuring dual displays — Surface Neo and Surface Duo. While the Surface Neo has been postponed by the company, the Surface Duo is expected to official pretty soon.
In fact, details about the Surface Duo keeps surfacing online as the launch of the device nears. Now, in the latest development, Panos Panay, Chief Product Officer at Microsoft, showcased the Surface Duo.

From the image shared by him, the device seems to be a bit different from what the company showcased as a prototype last year. It also seems that the device Panos Panay is using has a bumper case installed.
This is a major indication that the device is indeed nearing launch. There has been speculation about the Surface Duo getting launched in the coming weeks or months and go on sale during the holiday season this year. But the company has not yet confirmed the launch date for the same.
A recent report has revealed that the device will come with two equal-sized 5.6-inch AMOLED display panels — each screen offering a 4:3 aspect ratio, 1800 x 1350 pixels resolution, and 401ppi pixel density.

In the software department, the device will be running Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own Microsoft Launcher on top. As per the reports, the company is working on apps that will come pre-installed. Microsoft also seems to have worked on a way to make the user experience better with dual screens for apps.
While we were expecting Surface Duo to come with the latest Snapdragon 865 chipset, it has been revealed that the device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, thus there will be no 5G connectivity support.
The device will come packed with 6GB of RAM and 64/256GB of internal storage. It will feature an 11-megapixel camera sensor and the phone also has a fingerprint sensor for added security. Powering the device will be a 3,460mAh battery.
