Seven new Surface products set to become available in 2020 have been unvield by tech company Microsoft.
The new products include Surface Laptop 3, Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro X, Surface Earbuds, Surface Neo and Surface Duo.
“When we started Surface, we had a vision to remove the conflict between the tablet and laptop,” said Panos Panay, chief product officer at Microsoft. “What started as an effort to create the two-in-one evolved into a full line of products that are more versatile, more adaptable and more personal.”
“We know that to be your best, you need devices that adapt to you to help you accomplish your goals,” added Panay. “These new products are about empowering you to be your most productive, and your most creative.”
Out of the seven new products, the highlight is Surface Duo.
Said to be “the first Surface to fit in your pocket”, Surface Duo features a foldable dual-screen that can be opened and closed like a book. The 5.6-inch screens unfold to 8.3 inches.
Powered by Android and Surface hardware, Surface Duo can function as a computer, phone and even a game controller.
Capable of running two seperate apps simutaniously, users will be able to view documents while on video call, for example.
“With Surface Duo we are building upon Android to marry cutting edge hardware with familiar software and services,” stated Panay. “We’re excited to work with developers and the industry to create the next wave of dual-screen computing and unlock a new era of mobile creativity.”
