• Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is already using the Dual Screen Surface Duo

It must be nice being the boss. While the rest of us will have to wait until late 2020 to get our hands on Microsoft's innovative dual-screen Surface Duo device, CEO Satya Nadella has been spotted using an older version. According to a tweet from Brian Sozzi, editor-in-chief of Yahoo Finance, Satya Nadella casually launched the upcoming foldable handheld in public, and Sozzi was impressed with what he saw, calling it a "holy brilliant device." Since Microsoft announced the Surface Duo in October 2019, Nadella revealed that he's already using it, telling GeekWire: "I look at the way I use both my Neo and my Duo and I want to take it everywhere with me. I want to be able to open it, take notes. It's a great experience all in all." While the Surface Duo and its larger Windows counterpart, the Surface Neo, are still months away from release, it's clear that Microsoft — and Nadella — already feel pretty confident about the Surface. Duo, since Nadella is happy to show it off in public. Hopefully this confidence means we'll be delighted when the Duo launches later in 2020.

What to expect

Although the Surface Duo won't be coming out anytime soon, we already know a lot about it. It runs on Android and comes with two 5.6-inch screens that allow it to fold up and slip into a pocket. You can make and receive voice and video calls, even though Microsoft insists it's not a smartphone. It can be unfolded and used like an 8,3-inch tablet, and Microsoft would work closely with Google to create Android apps suitable for the dual-screen setup. In fact, with Microsoft introducing the Duo so early, but not releasing it until late 2020, it makes us think that even if the company is pretty satisfied on the hardware side, the software still needs to be worked on.
