Note that, according to CNET, Microsoft is offering zero percent interest financing through its store, while AT&T will offer Duo on its Next Up program. Orders from AT&T are set to go live tonight, and we'll presumably see them arrive at Best Buy soon as well. ![]() If you want to pull the trigger now, the Surface Duo is available in 128GB and 256GB options starting at $1,400 at the Microsoft Store. GSM/GPRS: GSM-850, E-GSM-900, DCS-1800, PCS-1900ġ1MP, ƒ/2.0 1.0um, PDAF, 84.0° diagonal FOVĭual mic with noise suppression and echo cancellationįast Charging using 18W in-box power supply HP released a variant of the Elite X3 for VZW, but, that was after Microsoft had ended development of Windows 10 Mobile.Single: 5.6 inch (1800x1350), 401 ppi, 4:3 aspect ratio Since then, Microsoft has stopped producing handset specific for VZW. The last Microsoft phone designed for Verizon Wireless was the Lumia 735. I hope that, at some point, Microsoft will start to create mobile devices, specifically, for carriers other than AT&T. Customers of T-Mobile/Sprint and Verizon Wireless can purchase an unlocked Duo and have it activated on the respective networks, however, some features offered by the providers will not be able to be utilized by the unit. Surface Duo 2 is only sold as an unlocked device. I also noted that the relationship between Microsoft & Verizon Wireless has not been as productive as the relationship between Microsoft & AT&T.Īt this point in time, Microsoft is producing handsets specific only for AT&T, thus the device can access & utilize all functions offered by that provider. Hi there, Will there be an at&t carrier version of the Surface Duo 2 There was an at&t version of the first duo. I was attempting to explain that it is Microsoft's decision which carriers will receive locked devices and which ones won't. Right now, I don't think that Microsoft is going to make such a commitment. But Microsoft has to make the first move. But Microsoft seems to have a better working relationship with AT&T than with Verizon Wireless, so, AT&T customers are getting dedicated/locked devices while customers of Verizon Wireless and other carriers make due with unlocked units that don't support all carrier features. Unless Microsoft creates dedicated Duo variants for Verizon Wireless some carrier features will be unavailable. The final Windows 10 Mobile phone was the HP Elite X3. Microsoft even skipped submitting the final group of Lumia models for CDMA certification. ![]() The last Lumia telephone to offer a locked VZW version was the 735. In recent history, Microsoft and Verizon Wireless haven't exactly had a friendly relationship. Microsoft Surface Duo Dual-Screen Tablet, PixelSense 401ppi Multi-touch Displays, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, 6GB DRAM, AT&T LTE WWAN (Locked), 802.11ac, Bluetooth, Android 10 - (Your Choice: Storage) 299.12 331.49. The inability to utilize some carrier features when using unlocked phones on a particular network isn't anything new. Sprint customers actually have to utilize the T-Mobile network rather than the legacy Sprint. Microsoft created a locked version of the Surface Duo for AT&T.Ĭustomers of T-Mobile, Sprint & Verizon Wireless have to purchase the unlocked version.
