Microsoft's Surface Duo 3 will have a foldable screen

11 January 2023
The company is finally ditching the dual flat displays.

Sort by:

I am not sure if the explanation for the low adoption of the surface duo was really the non-foldable screen... Rather the outdated specs and the miserable support / updates...
A foldable screen alone won't change that

    Sad. Time to be like everyone else with the fugly tall and narrow form factor.

    I totally not going to miss the awesome Duo 2 screens which I was totally hoping that Duo 3 would be miraculously eliminate the gap between the screens.

    Yeah, the Duo 2 that I was so happy about when I bought it used from eBay after deciding it over Fold4.

      Unless, of course, If MS put Windows with regular AMD or Intel cpu into this then I'm sooo sold!

        I still can buy 2 phones for a price of 1 fold.. 2 phones meaning 2 cpus 2 rams 2 storages, one charging while using the other. Now tell me which is a smarter buy?

          Just revived Windows Mobile/Phone now that Windows 11 support Android apps. 😑

            Excellent, yet another Galaxy Fold copy. Where has the different individuality in the smartphone world gone nowadays? I miss the days when brands aren't afraid to try various ideas. Coming from someone like me who did own a Samsung Galaxy Fold before selling it in favour of an LG V50 with its detachable Dual Screen case, I can easily say that I'm not missing the whole foldable screen experience. I love the flexibility of using two different apps with a smartphone-like aspect ratio, something that foldable phones can never do. Plus, in LG's case, I can easily detach the Dual Screen case if I don't need it. Try doing that with foldable phones.

              Daemon Targaryen, 11 Jan 2023It shouldn’t be called a Surface Duo anymore but a Surface ... moreIt's still duo . You just have to fold the screen enough times to reach there.

                Daemon Targaryen, 11 Jan 2023It shouldn’t be called a Surface Duo anymore but a Surface ... moreI couldn't agree more. Since I sold my Samsung Fold for an LG V50 with its detachable Dual Screen case, I don't ever slightly miss my old foldable screen phone. If anything, I'm looking at the V60 to add to my phone collection. I am not going back to screen creasing ever again, that's for sure.

                    No thanks, I much prefer dual displays. Without it, I cannot use two apps in full size both at the same time. That is something foldable screens cannot ever do.

                      With how fast Microsoft loves to drop support for their stuff, I wouldnt advice anyone picking this up until it reaches its 5th gen

                        It shouldn’t be called a Surface Duo anymore but a Surface Fold. I know dual displays didn’t sell but it’s actually faster for multitasking. And it’s a more durable form factor. Get a Duo 2, the last true Duo.
