With Surface Neo and Surface Duo, Microsoft is introducing a new category of dual-screen devices.

Surface Neo is a dual-screen foldable device built on Windows 10X, featuring a 360-degree full-friction hinge that connects two 9” screens. When you open it, you have a full-size 13” display running full productivity apps, with a removable keyboard and compatibility with Surface Pen and Bluetooth mouse.

On the other hand, the new foldable Surface Duo device runs Android apps, makes phone calls, has two paper-thin 5.6-inch screens that unfold to 8.3 inches, and just like Surface Neo, it can be used in a variety of modes.

The two devices will be available later this year.
