According to recent reports, Microsoft’s first work after returning to the mobile market, Surface Duo, may be available soon. There are speculations that the software and hardware development is coming to an end. Microsoft plans to complete software adaptation by April. If the plan goes well, the Surface Duo may go on sale in the summer. This device will probably debut simultaneously as the Surface Go 2 and Surface Book 3.
According to the report, the Surface Duo comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 flagship SoC. It will also have up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage. Unfortunately, the Microsoft Surface Duo does not support 5G. Most of the recent or upcoming flagship models will support 5G network. If Surface Duo misses 5G, it will be a major downside for this device.

I am done with Microsoft and it needs to do a lot more to earn my trust back
No, I won’t. I think as a fan of Microsoft I give them more chance than they give me. I can’t count how many times they have failed me. They just ditch you and don’t care. Their phone, tablet and what have you. Even recently, they plan to limit the functionality of Cortana. Why? In the past, I get laughed at. On top of that, getting their tech support is like getting water out of stone (tech support is excellent when get through). I personally feel they shouldn’t be involved in the phone business. They should stick with what they are good at.
