Microsoft Surface Duo is a very innovative device, there’s no doubt about it. Coming with a dual-screen form factor, the Surface Duo is already at its second generation, and needless to say, it sports a premium tag for a reason that should be easy to figure out.

Typically, the Surface Duo 2 can be had for $1,449 when the device is equipped with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The 256GB storage version costs $1,599, while the top-of-the-range configuration with 512GB regularly costs $1,799.

Microsoft, however, has launched a massive $500 discount for all Surface Duo 2 configurations, so the cheapest model costs right now just $999. The upgraded model with 256GB of storage can now be yours for $1,099.

Unfortunately, the top version with 512GB of storage is no longer in stock, but it too came with a $500 price cut, so it was available for only $1,299.

Don’t hold your breath for the Surface Duo 3

Microsoft brags about the Surface Duo 2, explaining the device is “more than a phone” because it’s capable of boosting the productivity substantially thanks to its dual-screen form factor.

“Do one better on two screens. Now with lightning-fast 5G1 and dynamic triple lens camera. New dual-screen experiences for Microsoft 365 await, plus Xbox gaming, streaming, and every Android app in the Google Play store. Discover next-level multitasking that never leaves your side — apps, websites, photos, and Microsoft 365 — in a more immersive way. Make the most of two high-resolution touchscreens and light up new reading, gaming, and entertainment experiences. Set yourself up for success with instant access to the best of Microsoft 365 and every Android app in the Google Play store— using them with virtually no lag, quicker load times, and a better, more stable connection in 5G,” Microsoft says.

If you’re in the market for a Surface Duo, you’d better use this promo because it makes little sense to wait for the third-generation model anyway. It’s believed the launch of this model would only take place at some point in 2023.
