Perhaps unsurprisingly , Microsoft has reportedly cancelled theSurface Duodual - screen phone ambit after just two generations .
Windows Centralsourcessay there ’ll be no Surface Duo 3 with Microsoft or else swivel to a foldable handset kindred to theSamsung Galaxy Z Foldline . The report says there ’ll be a foldable inner display and an outside cover display .
The determination came after a year of experimenting with the hardware ’s form factor , harmonise to the source . However , Microsoft ’s loyalty to the dual - screenland frame factor has been in question almost since the first machine launched .
The initial gimmick was launch in 2019 , but did n’t make it to the UK until February 2021 . Even then , the Android powered gadget had limited supporting . The second - generation machine arrived that October , but the £ 1,349 price ticket was steep , even though the internals had been improved and 5 thou was added .
However , it struggle to make a name for itself , the implementation of Android was n’t the good and it ’s probably no surprise to see Microsoft changing shroud now it seems consumer have settle on foldables rather than the Holy Scripture - similar double screenland alternative the Surface Duo touted .
The report say , Microsoft had have as far as finalising the design of the Surface Duo 3 and confirming new features before swivel , but it ’s certainly well belatedly than never . The report card say :
“ I ’m told this new foldable twist came about after the ship’s company had already finalize a two-fold - screen design for Surface Duo 3 . This original dual - covert intent was supposed to ship at the end of 2023 as the next Surface Duo , have narrower and taller edge - to - border displays , wireless charging , and other improvement . ”
Whether Microsoft would have a foldaway quick for a 2023 button remains to be visualise .
