Microsoft Surface Duo spotted on Bluetooth website
A sharp-eyed Windows Latest investigator discovered that the Microsoft Surface Duo has appeared on the Bluetooth SIG website as the Surface Model 1930 which, interestingly enough, is the same model number that appeared on the FCC website. Besides its Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity support, the Bluetooth SIG listing doesn’t give any more substantial details about the Microsoft Surface Duo. But the FCC listing that was spotted yesterday confirmed that the dual-screen smartphone/tablet hybrid will run Android 10, support all major US LTE bands, and will be equipped with 802.11ac Wi-Fi. Microsoft snagging certificates for the FCC and Bluetooth is a major indication that the launch date is fast approaching. Mspoweruser and Windows Central both theorize that the Surface Duo could hit store shelves by September.
More clues of the Microsoft Surface Duo’s imminent release
On top of that, popular phone leaker Evan Blass insinuated that the Surface Duo will appear on AT&T’s network for US customers. As The Verge pointed out, Blass usually receives marketing information of unreleased phones several weeks before their launch dates, which is another clue that the Surface Duo is on the horizon. And just last week, Microsoft’s Chief Product Officer Panos Panay teased us by flaunting the Microsoft Surface Duo on Twitter. We’re excited for the Microsoft Surface Duo’s arrival. The snazzy device, equipped with two 5.6-inch AMOLED screens, can transform into an 8.3-inch display when unfolded. Both screens can display apps independently on each screen.
