The Microsoft Surface Neo has just been spotted again. This time, the device has been spotted in a new movie on Netflix called Red Notice, which stars Ryan Reynolds and Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson.

The movie was recently released across the globe, with keen eyed viewers quickly spotting the product in a scene. For those unaware, the American tech giant had announced the Surface Neo along with the Surface Duo back in 2019. The latter was officially released while the form was delayed. The recent cameo in the movie does imply that the device is not forgotten and may still make a commercial appearance soon, however, this is highly unlikely to be the case.

Previously, we had reported on the Surface Neo being “postponed indefinitely.” While the official reason was never revealed it is likely due to the impacts of the Coronavirus outbreak along with component shortages that followed soon after. Furthermore, the lackluster reception of the Surface Duo could have also discouraged Microsoft from releasing the product. So, why did we see an unreleased product that might never make it to the market on movies and series like Red Notice and WandaVision?

Simple, the device was announced back in 2019, which is around the same time when shooting began for these cinematic projects. In other words, the film was shot before the pandemic and, hence, featured the product prior to its launch as a means of marketing. So now, it appears as if the product is being teaser. As of right now, the fate of the Microsoft Surface Neo is still unknown, but hopefully we get more information in the coming months.
