The Microsoft Surface Duo is available on sale again, and this time, the dual screened has received a price slash of about half. The device is the company’s first self branded Android handset and is now available for a price of 699 US Dollars.
For those unaware, the device was first launched around seven months ago and was priced at 1,400 US Dollars. But just within a month of its launch, the tech giant started offering the device on a 200 US Dollar discount. Now, the dual display smartphone is available for the lowest ever pricing on BuyDig (Via ArsTechnica). Talking about the Surface Duo, the device is an ultra thin Android handset with dual displays that are joined by a 360 degree hinge, which also allows for a single screen mode of operation.
The device was not well received in the market and did not bring in great reviews either. It was stated to have an awkward form factor, along with a buggy software, exorbitant pricing, and other issues. But despite this, the device was still one of the thinnest Android device with just 4.8mm thickness once its open that adds to its whole minimalistic look.
Under the hood, the Surface Duo is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC and two 5.6 inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Even with a 50 percent off price tag, the device is still not highly recommendable, but this might be for smartphone enthusiasts that are looking for a newer experience.
