Microsoft’s Surface Duo is perhaps one of the most misunderstood phones on the market. It was born as part of Microsoft’s commitment to its vision of the future, which implied that all our devices would have two screens.

To realize this idea, Microsoft not only created a dual-screen smartphone, the Surface Duo, but also planned to launch a dual-screen laptop and an operating system adapted to this new way, Windows 10X.
Surface Duo at a low price
This is all history, of course. Most of these projects never saw the light of day, and Microsoft played it safe with Windows 11. Only the Surface Duo made it to market, and while it had some glaring flaws (which were fixed with the Surface Duo 2), it was one of the most original mobiles in a market that has lost its taste for innovation.
Now you have the opportunity to try this innovation at the best price. On Amazon, the Surface Duo is now available for just 580.05 dollars, a significant reduction considering that it cost 1,549 dollars when it arrived in Europe. You save almost 1000 dollars compared to the original price, even if it is true that it has been a long time since we have found a cheaper one.
The Surface Duo is a unique phone in that it’s based on two screens, not one. Normally, the device remains closed, and it can be opened like a book or like a laptop. Its thickness of 9.9 millimeters is high compared to a normal mobile, but incredible when you consider that it is essentially two 5.6-inch mobiles joined together; The hinge that connects the two screens is also another great technological advancement due to its durability and possibilities.
The Surface Duo is similar in concept to foldable phones, but by not using a flexible display, we can expect fewer issues. To take advantage of the two screens, Microsoft has developed its own layer that improves multitasking, allowing us to have several applications open at the same time as on a Windows computer.
It’s true that in many ways the Surface Duo is already outdated. It is based on a Snapdragon 855 processor which was already behind when it was released. And as we said, the Surface Duo 2 solved a lot of problems and improved a lot of things, like the cameras. But for under $600 you can have one of those eye-catching cell phones, and that’s something few people can say today.
