This is how Android will be used on the double screen of the Microsoft Surface Duo

Microsoft has long since abandoned its intention to create another Android and iOS. On the contrary, he has chosen to use Google's system as his own and continue to make progress, something similar that other companies do.

For Microsoft Android applications, this is lost if you do not use them

Microsoft's Android applications are many and have many different functions. We show it to you and tell you what they are made for. Will you use it?

This has led to the launch of the excellent Android app, i Microsoft Surface Duo

, a signal created by a book that had two screens. We can now see how it works in video series where its interface appears.

More spreads and new touches

Here's a quick overview of some of the (endless) ships that are part of the Surface Duo. This build is a nice distraction, and yet fun to see. pic.twitter.com/Jra1xVfZl2

In the emulator used for experiments we see how one screen interaction is often displayed in another, either because the content changes or because the icons move to that location.

In this other video we see how phones work. We think that though the standard would be to wrap the terminal with screens out, you could use it as a standard phone, even though Microsoft was willing to say that Microsoft Duo was not a smartphone.

Thinking about the future

Designer Jonas Daehnert held a meeting so we could see what this interface would look like on a real device. Obviously not an official video, but providing context is more than enough.

Finally, we can see what some of the common actions in this change will look like, such as surfing the web using both screens, or using both screens in the same program.

Extended web browsing

Two screen requests

Swiftkey's new keyboard display

The introduction of the incident is still a long way off. It may appear later this year by 2020, but it doesn't look like the Microsoft Surface Duo will be a bundle of devices.
