Today, Microsoft released its first Android smartphone -- Microsoft Surface Duo. It's a dual-screen, foldable Android-based device with each panel coming in at 4.8mm thin.
Unlike previous Microsoft products, which run an in-house operating system. Microsoft Surface Duo will run Android instead. Surface Duo can do everything you'd expect from a modern smartphone and tablet. For instance, you can use it to play with apps and make calls, and it can even fit in your pocket. However, Microsoft is reluctant to describe the device as a smartphone.
"We didn’t set out to combine two existing devices – the tablet and the laptop. We had a vision for how we could take the best elements of each to create something entirely new. To find that perfect intersection of hardware and software that unlocks a more intuitive way to work and create," said Microsoft Chief Product Officer.
One particular detail might catch the eye of some of those that read Kindle ebooks. It turns out the Kindle Android app has been optimized for Microsoft Surface Duo to display two pages at once.
Comparing to other Android-based smartphones, Microsoft Surface Duo is quite expensive - starting at $1,399 for the entry-level model. Would you consider purchasing a Surface Duo for reading ebooks?
