Surface Duo is likely coming next week
The Surface Duo, which Microsoft announced last year in October, was earlier supposed to arrive during the 2020 holiday season. The dual-screen device sure looks more robust than foldable phones out there and could definitely help the company crack the smartphone market this time around. Given the supposed dated internals of the device, a Q4 launch might not be a good idea. And that’s perhaps why the device will be launched sooner than expected.
Surface Duo release date had leaked earlier
Microsoft MVPs were invited to attend a virtual Surface briefing, presumably for Duo, on August 12.

It will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 and only offer LTE connectivity. It is tipped to offer 6GB of RAM and 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of non-expandable storage. It is expected to feature a lone 11MP sensor and a 3,460mAh battery. The Surface Pen will also be supported.
Pricing details have not surfaced yet but it will likely cost a pretty penny.
