To this day, all devices that can be folded or with a foldable screen are all sold at a relatively high price. These devices are categorized as premium devices and the majority of manufacturers use power processing chips that are flagship devices.
A middle class variation is expected to be released as the demand for this device gets higher so that the selling price can be more affordable and more people can try out device innovations like this.
The Microsoft Surfacfe Duo is a foldable device, not a foldable screen because it uses two screen panels side by side. It is also a premium device with a glass panel, curved screen for notifications, powered by Snapdragon 888 chip and the selling price reaches over RM7500.
Recently listed through the eBay site (already deleted), a Surface Duo device with a plastic body. The device is said to be probably the Surface Duo Go that was canceled last year. This device is supposed to be a foldable device with a cheaper selling price. The finish is dull, the camera has smaller humps and more rounded corners. The device uses the Cronos code name and may be powered with a premium mid -range Snapdragon processing chip.
Not sure why this device was canceled, as Microsoft reportedly will not proceed to introduce this device. Windows Central, which reported this, also stated that in 2022 there will be no new Surface Duo devices. Instead existing users will receive the Android 12L update soon.
The new Surface Duo or perhaps the Surface Duo 3 is expected to launch in 2023.
