The Surface Duo is an upcoming product from Microsoft. The dual-screen device was first announced nearly a year ago with a promise for it to be available for purchase in time for this year’s holidays. A new video of the device has surfaced from Panos Panay along with a leak that shows its accessories as well as its price, which we warn you, is not affordable.

The Chief Product Officer of Microsoft shared on Twitter a 10-second video showing the Surface Duo’s 360° hinge in action. As you can see, the device will not only open up to reveal the dual-displays but can also be folded backward completely so you can use just one of the screens like a regular phone (with thick bezels).
