Here's how the apps will work on Microsoft's first Surface Duo Android smartphone
How will Android apps running on Surface Duo display when there are two separate screens?
Surface Duo is not only one of Microsoft's most ambitious projects, but also the first step to mark Microsoft's participation in the Android hardware market.
The Surface Duo is expected to go on sale later this year and the closer Microsoft gets to this point, the more interesting things Microsoft will share about it. This is very important as it will provide the necessary information for developers to create optimal applications and make the most of the device's capabilities.
Microsoft recently shared a new developer guide on details regarding modes on Surface Duo. As a device with two screens, the Surface Duo will have many different screen usage directions.
Specifically, when an application launches on the Surface Duo, it will display in either portrait or landscape mode, on one screen or on both. In other words, no matter which direction you use the Surface Duo, apps can technically make full use of two monitors if the user wants them.
Surface Duo and Surface Neo (dual-screen laptops running Windows 10X) are two devices that show Microsoft's vision of dual-screen devices, even the future is a foldable device completely like the Galaxy Fold or Galaxy Z Flip.
Microsoft is betting big on the two devices above and hopes it could create a new push in the hardware market that has long been at a loss.
The Redmond giant always aims to innovate and pioneer on new products. Therefore, Microsoft hopes that after launching these two products, other partners will join and expand this potential market.
According to experts, Surface Neo will soon sell in the near future because Microsoft has perfected the product. Microsoft initially said it will sell the product on holiday this year. However, everything depends a lot on the current situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in the world.
