Anonymous, 21 Aug 2020You would price the RAZR 2019 to $400 I'm sure but hey... moreNo, I wouldn't price the motorola razr to $400, because it's using actual foldable display technology, while the surface duo only uses 2 separate displays.

iOS Suxxxxx, 21 Aug 2020It's a foldable. If regular phones can be charged 140... moreI am sorry, there is a difference between actual foldable display technology(galaxy z fold 2, motorola razr, galaxy z flip) and just using 2 different displays. I mean, the software development couldn't be that expensive, right?

geek-a-contra, 20 Aug 2020i guess you need to revisit school, specifically arithmetic... moreIt's cause GSM didnt write the folded and unfollded dimensions numbers in same order. For unfolded they went with wide, length and thich. For folded they went with length, wide and thick.
They should have it on both same order as first length then wide and thickness.

Who cares though, honestly? Qualcomm's current flagship chipset is SD865, is it really that important if it scores a bit higher than other devices with a year-old SoC?

Plenty of space to accommodate a cpu with slightly bigger footprint.

If regular phones can be charged 1400$, why can't a next gen product like foldable be priced the same.
I don't have a problem with the price but I do have a problem with last year's processor.

Too expensive for me. No real benefits with the folding. Pass.

Snapdragon 855 is perfectly fine, but why is this thing priced at $1400 when the LG g8x costs HALF the price?
$600-$700 would make the surface duo a really good upper-midrange device.

iOS Suxxxxx, 20 Aug 2020Foldables should have top of the line chip. 855 is the top of the line chip with integrated 4G modem. 865 is 5G only.

iOS Suxxxxx, 20 Aug 2020Foldables should have top of the line chip. The top of the line SoC is 2 chips + additional 5G circuitry and antennas. This doesn't have the room nor battery capacity to compensate for those. They could've looked at an 855+, but that might've exceeded their heat dissipation capability and thus throttled to standard speeds anyway.

hmm, 20 Aug 2020Unfolded: 186.9 x 145.2 x 4.8 mm Folded: 145.2 x 93.3 x 9.... more186 / 2 is about 93 when folded and thickness is about half open I don't see the mistake, small tolerances account for nothing.

Micros... moreThey are not taking credit...someone else is giving credit and others gawk at it in surprise...or throw money at it. In this case Microsoft is simply following any other Android maker in line and jumping through the hoops for everyone to see lol...I never look at performance candy or ratings since I use a mobile for stupid mindless tasks that have little bearing on anything

Length becomes dbl when unfolded not W. H is thickness al the same...

186.9 - 93.3 x 2 = 186.9 - 186.6 = 0.3mm, the gap between the two slates, large enough to avoid rubbing but small enough to be almost unnoticeable.
all in all, unfolded, is shorter (186.9) and wider (145.2mm) than a regular, un-foldable, 8" tablet, but by far thinner. samsung galaxy tab, for instance, is 210 x 124.4 x 8
