Microsoft Surface Duo gets massive price cut ahead of EU launch

I really like the design of the Microsoft Surface Duo. I like the concept of foldable phones mainly because the design means that the screen will not be scratched. Although I’m careful with my smartphones, I’m also just a clumsy person, so I’m bound to drop my devices sooner or later. Although the Surface Duo is not a suitable folding device, as the screen itself does not fold, but the design philosophy is similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Z Flip. As Microsoft prepares for the launch of the Surface Duo in Europe, they decided to cut the price of their device by a lot – $ 400, in fact.

The dual-screen configuration of the Microsoft Surface Duo is quite unique among smartphones, and our review of the Surface Duo calls this a multitasking dream. Although it hasn’t gotten the best reception everywhere, Microsoft has updated Microsoft Launcher to help with Duo’s functionality, and it seems to be paying off.

Granted, the original $ 1,400 MSRP still made the Surface Duo difficult to sell. With high-end smartphones costing less and generally running smoothly, it can be difficult to spend as much money on something new as the dual-screen Duo. However, with the updates and the price drop from $ 400 to $ 999, the device becomes much more attractive.

You can purchase the Surface Duo at Best Buy, Amazon or directly at Microsoft for this reduced price. I would personally recommend Best Buy, because if you activate today, you will have an extra $ 50 discount on the price, and who doesn’t like more savings?

Although the launch on the European market is next week, this price drop applies only to the US market, and new markets will still have to pay the equivalent in their currency to the total market price. It is a bit strange, but hopefully the EU will get a similar price cut soon.
