At $1,399, Microsoft's Surface Duo is tragically overpriced Aug 12, 2020 09:00 EDT · Hot! with 129 comments It's been over 10 months since Microsoft first announced its dual-screen Surface Duo, and after all of the leaks since then, all that was left up to the imagination was the price. Among Microsoft enthusiasts like myself, there was a lot of speculation about what the price would be. I thought that the sweet spot would be $699, given the rumored specs, although to be fair, the original rumors were that the base model would have 64GB of storage. I'd have said $699/$799/$899 for 64GB/128GB/256GB. But the reason I came up with that price is because the Duo is a mid-range phone.
