The dual-screen phone-tablet from Microsoft may be released in February with all the latest updates. A second or third week rollout may be expected. It will be ready in the United Kingdom first via BT and EE. Other European markets will get it around the same month.
The Surface Duo is also said to be available in Canada before February ends. There is no mention of the exact pricing. In Germany, it will also be available by February 13 as per another retailer. In Europe, a Surface Duo business bundle will be introduced. The package will include a pair of wired earphones and on-device, a custom Android interface.
