It remains to be hoped that Microsoft will fix the problems by the European release of the device
Microsoft this fall released the Surface Duo smartphone with two displays and the Android operating system, which is currently only available in the US.
Microsoft confirms imminent European launch of flagship dual-screen smartphone
In November, it was reported that Microsoft was planning to launch Surface Duo in other regions, starting in the European market. Now Microsoft has officially confirmed that the company plans to launch its dual-screen phone in Canada, the UK, France, and Germany in early 2021.
The smartphone turned out to be problematic, the frame around the charging connector often cracks, and information about a weak signal and high latency in data transmission also appeared. Hopefully, Microsoft will fix these issues with the European release of the device.
Surface Duo buyers get two 5.6-inch screens each. The resolution of each panel is 1800 x 1350 pixels, the total resolution is 2700 x 1800 pixels. The smartphone is built on the basis of a single-chip system Snapdragon 855. The battery capacity is 3566 mAh, there is support for 18-watt charging. The case has a thickness of 4.8 and 9.6 mm when opened and folded, respectively. The camera resolution is only 11 megapixels. The smartphone received stylus support but lacks NFC and 5G support. It is hard to believe that it can compete with smartphones with flexible screens, which are gradually gaining popularity.
