Microsoft has started to send out invites for its upcoming Surface event where the company will unveil new Surface laptops and possibly, smartphones. The company is expected to launch the next-gen dual-screen Surface Duo and a new Surface laptop at the event. However, the official invite sent out by Microsoft also mentions that the company will talk about Windows 11 along with the devices.
Now, starting with the next-gen Surface Duo, the device is expected to fill the shoes of its Android-powered, dual-screen predecessor. It was hailed as the Best Invention of 2020 by Time Magazine (really!? aren’t we forgetting actual folding screen phones). Although we don’t know much about the Surface Duo 2 just yet, a few photos of the device leaked online earlier this year. They suggest that a major camera upgrade is on the cards for Microsoft’s foldable Android phone.
As for the internals, the Surface Duo 2 is expected to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. Moreover, there will be support for 5G networks and NFC support for contactless payments onboard.
