For some netizens who like to play with mobile phones, the unpopular styles that are not licensed are their favorites. The Microsoft Surface Duo series, which runs counter to the mainstream folding machine design, has always been introduced by some mobile phone players. All generations have a common point of quite high pricing. It turned out that Mircosoft had planned to launch a cheap version, but it was stillborn.
Frosted plastic body
A cheap version of the Surface Duo engineering machine appeared on the auction site eBay a few days ago. The shape design is basically the same as the Surface Duo 2 that has already been listed. The main change is that the body material is replaced by glass and polycarbonate. According to a report by the website Windows Central, the internal code name of this cheap Surface Duo engineering machine is Cronos. Microsoft originally planned to launch it in 2022 under the name of mid-range positioning and Surface Duo Go. It is believed that the project was finally cancelled last year.
Plan to be stillborn
The outflowing cheap Surface Duo engineering machine uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and has a dual-lens camera with a rounded body and a slightly raised lens. Microsoft is currently working on an Android 12L system upgrade for Surface Duo 2, and the new flagship successor model is not expected to be released until the end of 2023.
