In an event in New York, Microsoft surprised the world yesterday by presenting new Surface devices that could take us into the future of computers and smartphones: the tablet and the dual-screen smartphone. The dual screen looks like an improvement in folding device technology. Instead of having a single screen that folds like a Samsung Fold, which could be very fragile and easy to break, instead we have two separate screens, which however interact with each other as it practically happens with the extended desktop of two monitors connected to a computer. Having two screens therefore allows you to perform different activities simultaneously such as, for example, being in a video call with someone and working on a document or playing by holding the controls on one of the screens or even keeping two applications open at the same time without sacrificing space as happens when using one screen.
The two Surface devices are the Surface Neo, an ultra portable dual-screen PC with a folding keyboard that will have a special version of Windows 10 called Windows 10X as its operating system and then the Surface Duo, even more surprising, because it is the first Android smartphone dual screen .
This Surface Duo smartphone therefore has the size of a smartphone when it is closed with a booklet, with two 5.6-inch screens connected by a hinge that rotates 360 degrees . The Surface Duo can then be transformed into a miniature tablet with an 8.3-inch screen and can be folded to have a screen both in front and behind, with an amazing effect. The Duo can also be closed completely without leaving the screens in sight, becoming also the first smartphone that does not need a cover to protect its screens. Apps can be run separately on each screen or displayed on both.
From the presentation video below you can preview how the Surface Duo is and how it can be used.
As for the Surface Neo laptop, however, the most interesting part of the presentation concerns the new version of Windows 10, Windows 10X .
Windows 10X presents a new interface with the redesign of Start menu, taskbar and UX rebuilt from scratch thinking about folding PCs. Windows 10X will still be able to run normal traditional programs for Windows without problems, so it will be absolutely compatible with current applications and older software. Microsoft says Windows 10X will only be available for new foldable PCs and will not arrive on today's normal computers.
Even to present the Surface Neo Microsoft has released a video that really seems to come from a science fiction film
