Does anyone know what happened to the Surface Duo? (lemmy.zip)

Microsoft were pioneering the foldable phone trend, then after the Surface Duo 2, silently discontinued the lineup.

Of course it might be its awkward dual screen system, but that wouldn’t be the full story.

Anyone know (and is allowed to disclose) any further details on the demise of the Surface Duo?

Was the tablet's touchscreen as responsive as iPad's? What was the operating system? If Windows, I can see how it failed. Previous versions of Windows were mouse-and-keyboard-first. I think Windows 8 was the 1st to truly consider touch and iPados was still better.

Microsoft had an Arm Surface device a few years ago. It had a 💩 chip.
