Since announcing the Microsoft Surface Duo late last year, Microsoft has been fairly silent about the status of its promising dual-screen Android phone However, a massive new leak has revealed nearly all of the Surface Duo's key specs and painted a picture of an interesting foldable device that may have some notable drawbacks

We already knew that the Surface Duo would feature two 56-inch displays connected by a hinge, with each screen having a resolution of 1800 x 1350 On top of that, it supports the Surface Pen for jotting down notes and performing gestures But now that the Surface Duo is reportedly in the hands of Microsoft employees and being tested at home, Windows Central has obtained a complete spec sheet for the upcoming handset

According to Windows Central, the Duo will feature a Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 256GB of storage The display is an AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 401, and the top of the display on the right side will feature an 11MP camera sensor that doubles as a front and rear camera

Microsoft's dual-screen phone will also reportedly have a 3,460mAh battery, which Windows Central sources say is not enough power to keep up with longer-lasting phones It is worth noting that this battery is smaller than the 4,000mAh in Samsung's Galaxy S20, and given that the Duo has two screens, we would love to see what power efficiency tools Microsoft has in place to prevent battery drain I'd like to see [It has already been superseded by the new Snapdragon 865 in the Galaxy S20 and Sony Xperia 1 II, etc According to Windows Central, this is because all Snapdragon 865 phones are required to have a dedicated 5G chip The standard appeared long after Duo's design was reportedly finalized This means that the Duo will not support 5G, but it could be cheaper than expensive folding flagships like the $1,380 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip

According to Windows Central, the Surface Duo is still expected to launch this year and may even be available earlier than the original 2020 holiday release The same cannot be said for Microsoft's Surface Neo dual-screen Windows 10 PC, which the company has put on hold to focus on an affordable cloud-based Windows 10X machine
