Microsoft Surface Duo 2 launch: The Surface Duo 2 will be available for pre-orders in Glacier and Obsidian colour variants at a starting price of $1499.99 ( ₹1,10,687 approx.) in select markets.
Microsoft is having a really busy time. Earlier this year, the company hosted an event during which it launched the Windows 11 operating system. And tonight, the company hosted another event, this time dedicated to devices, including a fodable phone. The list includes the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio, Surface Pro 8 laptop, Surface Go 3 laptop and Surface Slim Pen 2. In addition to these laptops, Microsoft also announced its second-generation foldable screen device -- the Microsoft Surface Duo 2.
Microsoft Surface Duo 2, the highlight of the event, succeeds the Microsoft Surface Duo that was launched back in October 2019. While the Surface Duo failed to make a dent in the foldable market, Microsoft is hoping to change that with the launch of the Surface Duo 2.
