As a gamer I'm highly interested to see how Nintendo 3DS emulation will feel on this due to the dual screen gaming example shown in the video. As an artist I'm excited that we can use the Surface Pen with this phone. As a writer, using one screen as a keyboard looks interesting as well. I hope it has good battery life. It better be durable.
"The Surface Duo has a single camera above the right display, which, thanks to the 360-degree hinge, acts as the front and rear camera. The video shows a new white circle next to that camera, so now it seems like you'll get a rear (and front) flash."

Surface Duo: 8 specs we don't know
- A 360-degree hinge means you can fold one screen flat against the other to hold it like a note pad.
- You get a total of 8.3 inches of screen real estate.
- There's no outer screen -- you have to fully open the device to use it.
- Phone calls come in on the Duo's right screen.
- It supports the Surface Pen, which you may need to buy separately.
- The Surface Duo has thick screen bezels, but that might help keep you from accidentally tapping while you hold it.
- You can drag and drop items, like a phone number, from one screen to the other.
- It appears to have a digital cursor (although that could just be a visual aid in the video).
- Two 5.6-inch displays (resolution and display technology unknown)
