It has Bluetooth 5.0 support for connecting to wireless devices, but it lacks near-field communication support. The device also supports Wi-Fi-5 (802.11ac) for wireless hotspot connections. The Surface Duo supports LTE, a 4G wireless technology. Microsoft's announcement indicated that the 'Surface Duo will work on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless networks' in the United States. The device also comes with a Nano SIM card. 'Not all carriers support eSIM,' Microsoft noted in Footnote 12 of the Surface Duo's tech specs. The Surface Duo will act as a phone if the mobile service provider offering a wireless subscription plan supports its eSIM card.

The screens share a common '360-degree hinge' with internal cables that gives options in orienting the device. The Surface Duo, using Android 10, can simultaneously run different software programs on its two separate screens, which can fold out to a single 8.1-inch screen, if wanted. At that time, Microsoft did not mention that the Surface Duo would switch to using Android 10. However, Microsoft later indicated in May that Windows 10X would be marketed to single-screen devices going forward. Back then, Windows 10X was said to be an OS that was 'building upon Android.' The use of the Android 10 OS seems to be a switch from Microsoft's declaration back in October that the Surface Duo would run on the Windows 10X operating system. Possibly, that OS got customized for Microsoft by software company Movial. It turns out that the Surface Duo, first described back in October as a dual-screen computer that can make phone calls, runs on the Android 10 Linux operating system. The base price of the Surface Duo, starting at $1,399, is considered steep, based on some Microsoft Twitter post reader responses. market starting Wednesday via the online Microsoft Store, as well as through AT&T and Best Buy.

Microsoft on Wednesday announced that its Surface Duo pocket-sized device can now be preordered, but just by U.S.
