Many years later, Microsoft has finally announced its first smartphone for sale and it is not a normal device but a foldable phone.
Well, this phone was introduced last year, but now the company has announced that the Surface Do smartphone will be launched on September 10.
Phone pre-orders are starting from TODAY
The dual screen smartphone is powered by Android operating system instead of Windows 10 from Microsoft.
The device has 2 displays, which are 5.6 inches and can rotate up to 360 degrees, which allows them to take the shape of an 8.3-inch tablet.
This technology was developed by Microsoft which allows the screen to open or close like a book.
Both displays can be used with 2 different apps at the same time or the second display can be used as a keyboard or game controller by switching to landscape mode.
The Surface Do is different from other foldable phones like last year's Samsung Galaxy Fold (priced at $1980) and Huawei Mate X ($2,400).
Samsung and Huawei phones only fold a large single screen, while Microsoft used dual screen technology for this purpose.

Microsoft said that Android was preferred for phones because it had already done so for the app catalog.
The phone has Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, 6 GB RAM and 256 GB storage while 5G support is not available.
The phone has two batteries hidden behind both the displays and has a total capacity of 3577 mAh, apparently not much but Microsoft has promised that the battery will work all day once fully charged.
That is, more than 15 hours of continuous video can be played, 27 hours of continuous talk is possible, while 10 days of standby time.
The phone has just an 11-megapixel camera with features like auto mode for low light, HDR multi-frame capture and super zoom, as well as can record 4K and 8K videos for electronic image stabilization. Supported.
The phone will be available to consumers for $1399, making it a much cheaper foldable phone than Samsung's Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X.
Introducing the phone last year, Panoz Peine, corporate vice president of Microsoft's devices division, insisted that it was the first surface device,
We know scientifically how helpful it can be to work on two screens.
Microsoft announced the end of the Windows Phone platform in 2017, and this is the first time since then that the company has re-entered the smartphone market.
