    We really could

      This article should come as an example in journalist schools. Example how NOT to write.

        After All these years, this is Microsoft revolutionary device?
        It's not even funny or disappointing, you know. It's soooooooo Microsofty. Outdated design, late to the game with old ideas, And completely relying on brand name to sell those products on crazy high prices.
        Man this sounds like windows 10 mobile. Like 2 Lumia 950xl with beta windows 10 attached to each other while raising from their grave.

          But my money is with the Neo. Duo will ultimately flop.. because its running Android, they have no full rein over the OS. Have fun talking to all the developers to make it work seamlessly.

          Neo however running Windows 10X might survive, since they hold both the OS and the hardware.

            Suga, 03 Oct 2019The article has so many hate.. seems the author is so hurt by MS.yes, the article has so much hate... lately GSMArena authors are some kind of fanboys for some brands and hate others...

            They forgot about the functionality... and write to much about designs and paper specs...

              I don’t see this concept gaining much traction. It’s been done before, multiple times, and all this adds are some optimized apps. Then again, I never saw the attraction of the Nintendo DS series and they sold like crazy.

                Why couldnt the author even try to maintain professional touch on this article?

                          Actually dual screen has some interesting uses instagram/ bezel fetish people may never care for.
                          Like watching a presentation while taking notes. writing a doc/ email while making a video call. Watching share price action while reading watching news , reading a book/ pdf taking notes etc.
                          Also I would prefer a well built not super fragile device with curved screens/ no bezels , many business people could. Provided hinge mechanism is sound , screens folded and hence protected would be a huge plus imho.
                          If microsoft does this it won't try to appeal to mainstream imo, will not compete with iPhone or galaxy s even note. It will be a niche market which they will try capitalize on/ provide for their office and other software users..

                                Why are you calling it a nasty gap? I would much rather have the gap than the folding mess we have now..

                                      if Microsoft makes a hybrid laptop with dual os, android and win 10, that would be so awesome, esp with a proper cpu

                                        Come On Microsoft! Please do it right or go. We want WINDOWS 7 desktop level of functionality and usability in a phone. This 1980's solution is not right.
