The Mircosoft Surface Duo is one of the most anticipated devices of 2020. The Redmond-based company showcased it first in October of 2019. It is expected to release sometime in Holiday season of this year. Since its initial unveiling, the product has been officially teased multiple times, in addition to being spotted on certification bureaus. Now, the dual-screen device makes its appearance on FCC as well, which is usually considered as the last hurdle before launch.
The upcoming Microsoft Surface Duo listing on FCC was first spotted by Droid Life According to the publication, the Federal Communications Commission tested both the screens of the device along with its hinge. As usual, the bureau also tested the device’s network capability.
Although one of the tests mentions NFC, Windows Central reports that retail units will not have support for tap and pay. Also, it notes that it could be made available for purchase before the Holiday season as the confidentiality agreement is until October 29. That’s because, after this date, FCC will publicly release the pictures of the Surface Duo along with its manual and Microsoft surely don’t want its product to get leaked ahead of the official release.
According to previous leaks, the first Android device in the Surface lineup will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC paired with 6GB RAM and up to 256GB internal storage. It will spot dual 5.6-inch 1800×1350 resolution AMOLED displays with 401 ppi and 4:3 aspect ratio.
Other features include single 11MP camera, fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C port, nano-SIM card slot, support for Surface Pen, Android 10, and a 3,460 mAh battery.
