Microsoft Surface Duo Overview

With an innovative folding design, the Microsoft Surface Duo Dual-SIM 256GB Smartphone sports a 360° hinge and dual screens for productivity and usability not found on many phones. This functionality lets you span the desktop across both AMOLED displays for a massive 8.1" of work area, use each screen individually, or fold it back on itself for a single-screen feel with 5.6" of display. The Surface Duo can also be rested on a flat surface like a laptop and closed like a book when not in use. It's ideal for mobile professionals who can use the additional features to few more on websites and in documents, as well as multitask with multiple apps simultaneously.

Android 10
The Android operating system is a personalized and customizable OS that allows you to add your favorite apps or widgets to your home screen and integrates heavily with Google's services. You can even download new themes using the Google Play Store, which offers access to millions of apps, games, books, music, movies, and more. Android 10 adds a wide variety of intelligent features, additional privacy controls, and other enhancements that make using your Android phone more enjoyable. Some features include Live Caption, which captions running videos, podcasts, and audio messages without the need for Wi-Fi or cellular data; Smart Reply, which suggests both responses to and actions for texts; and Family Link, which lets you manage apps, set screen time limits, and more.
GSM / 4G LTE Wireless Connectivity
This phone is designed to work on select GSM networks and is 4G LTE capable. LTE is an advanced cellular network data protocol capable of data speeds so fast that they compete with wired broadband Internet providers. With an LTE connection, this phone should have no problem streaming HD video, downloading apps, uploading photos, or anything else that requires a high-speed data connection. The phone is also backwards compatible with 3G and 2G data for instances when you can't get LTE. In addition to cellular wireless, this phone also features Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
North American Variant / US Compatible LTE
The Surface Duo is a North American variant. It may be used in other parts of the world; however, LTE access may be limited or unsupported, depending on the network. Please choose your country/carrier above to confirm the network compatibility of this phone.
Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS)
Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) allows you to lower your mobile costs when traveling while staying connected. Once your SIM card is installed and eSIM activated, you will be able to receive phone calls and text messages from either without needing to manually choose which one is active. When you want to make a call or send an SMS message, you can select the correct SIM. When one SIM is being used for a phone call, the other will not be active until you hang up. Operator charges may apply.
Single Main + Selfie Camera
While the Surface Duo is equipped with only a single 11MP wide-angle lens, the folding design of the display lets it double as your main and selfie camera, depending on the display's position. In addition to wide angle hi-res images, the camera is capable of recording video clips at either 1080p Full HD or 4K Ultra HD resolutions at 60 fps. Gyro-based EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) helps to keep your hand's subtle shake from affecting your photos, providing clear and crisp results.

Snapdragon 855 chipset with an octa-core CPU
A huge 256GB of storage capacity
