Microsoft's Surface Duo is set to release on the week of August 24, 2020. That date comes courtesy of people who spoke with our senior editor Zac Bowden. Production of the Surface Duo has also begun, according to those who spoke with Bowden. As is the case with any device's release date, the release date of the Surface Duo is subject to change.
Initially set for a holiday 2020 release, the Surface Duo has crept up to earlier this year. We reported back in February that Microsoft wants to launch the Surface Duo before the holidays. That desire seems to have been met with the currently set release date.
While not a firm indication of an exact release date, the Surface Duo recently passed through the FCC. It's also received Bluetooth SIG certification and appeared in UL LLC certifications.
On top of all of the certifications and what Bowden's been told, several Microsoft executives have shared photos of themselves using the Surface Duo.
