The New Surface Duo

• riffraff 6y ago
  this looks nice but.. starting from $1399? This seems priced at twice the value that would make sense (an iPad pro is $799), I don't really understand why.

    It's only $100 more than a Note 20 Ultra while effectively being even bigger when needed and much smaller when not. Compared to other folding phones such as the Z Flip, the Fold, and the Razr, the Surface Duo is actually $100 cheaper. Can the IPad make and receive actual phone calls when not co-located with your actual Iphone? I have waited for a phone like this for a decade.

      Looks like a cool phablet phone, though I'm hesitant to know how many steps will it survive if I drop it.

        My only hesitation is not knowing if a case is needed or available. I'm assuming yes to both, but I really don't know.
