The device that hawk-eyed sleuths discovered on the FCC website is not called the Microsoft Surface Duo. It’s officially labeled as “Microsoft phablet device” instead. But all signs point to this being the highly anticipated tablet/smartphone hybrid. The FCC mentions that it investigated “both screens” of the device, plus its capability to fold, close and open at varying degrees. “Since this device isn’t a computer or laptop or notebook and is instead a ‘phablet’ that has two screens, opens and closes, folds at varying angles, has cellular connectivity and NFC, what else could it be?” Droid-Life wrote. We can’t say for sure that this is the Microsoft Surface Duo, but there’s a pretty good chance that the spotted phablet is, indeed, the long-awaited dual-screen device. With the Microsoft Surface Duo allegedly passing through the FCC certification site, Mspoweruser suspects that the Surface Duo could hit store shelves in less than two months. Windows Central concurred. Citing insider sources, Windows Central says that the Microsoft Surface Duo is at the very tail end of its testing phase and could possibly become available in late August or early September.
