I will be experimenting with driving a borrowed Surface Duo that I have acquired over the next few weeks. My assistant is already testing a new form factor. Interested in book mode and general ‘sensitivity to paw’:

The technical critic MKBHD has the best and most advanced videos.
Update packs are shipped via Duo and Surface Headphones in a fancy presentation box, but sales units are widely available.
We hope the Duo reaches Spain and other markets, but it will not be the end of the world if not. It is very expensive and is a first-generation product, so it is very likely that Microsoft will release a second and third improved version, expanding its markets as it progresses.
If the upgrade looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 which appears to be higher than the original Fold, it’s best to wait a year or two.
