I could see them launching an Android “SurfacePhone” just because (to have SOME stance in mobile). Or Windows-based since Windows already has an android subsystem (or emulator right?).

It's called the Surface Duo, it's already on its second generation. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-duo-2/9408kgxp4xjl?activetab=pivot:overviewtab https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-duo-2/9408kgxp4xjl...

  $1500 Android phone is giving me some Ballmer-era level laughs.

    The Samsung Fold 3 was around this price at launch.

    Nowadays it's fine if it is made well (actually not good even in 2nd gen, for software)

  I honestly don't understand which market segment that device is targeted to.

  That's a foldable phone that you never use in 'full screen' mode, correct? For $1,500? Ouch.

  Hmm, if it had a headphone jack and NFC-F (which it seems the Japanese edition might?) I'd be interested. Microsoft has always made good hardware.
