Microsoft Surface event 2019: Updated, upgrades and a return to smartphones

At its yearly Surface event yesterday, Microsoft took the stage to revamp its entire lineup. But while its 2019 devices update older Surface laptops and tablets, the company also announced a return to the smartphone space — and one that runs on Android. If you happened to miss Microsoft’s announcements, here’s what the company announced.

Dual-screen laptop and foldable smartphone

The Neo and Duo are both devices Microsoft will start selling from next year, but they were the most interesting from the event. The Surface Neo is a foldable, dual-screen laptop, while the Duo is Microsoft’s new Android smartphone, which looks like a smaller version of the Neo.
