Microsoft announced the Surface Duo phablet in October 2019. The company has been teased the phablet, but has not confirmed on an exact launch date. Yesterday, the device made its appearance at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Today, the phablet was found listed in the Bluetooth SIG’s database. These certifications are a good hint to show that the company is on track for the holiday 2020 market release.
The Surface Duo was certified by Bluetooth SIG last year in October. However, it has appeared once again ahead of its impending release. The new listing shows that the device carries support for Bluetooth connectivity.
The FCC listing of the Surface Duo revealed some support for main LTE bands of the U.S. It also revealed support for Wi-Fi 802.11ac. While NFC was mentioned in the FCC documents, it is unclear whether the device will support it. The Surface Duo was found to be loaded with Android 10 OS.
