Microsoft Surface Duo foldable device to take on Galaxy Fold

NEW YORK: Microsoft’s fascination for its own smartphone is not dead, yet. After failed Windows smartphones, the company has showcased a foldable smartphone – Surface Duo – that is more like the newly-launched Samsung Galaxy Fold and would run on Google’s Android.

The Surface Duo will have two 5.6-inch displays that expand to an 8.3-inch screen.

At an event in New York on Wednesday, Microsoft said that it would release Surface Duo in 2020.
