  • Microsoft is reportedly changing its plans for the Surface Duo 3.
  • The Surface Duo 3 will supposedly use a foldable screen instead of sticking with its original dual-screen design.
  • Microsoft may also be working on a new “mainstream” slab-style phone.

Neither the Surface Duo nor Surface Duo 2 with its unique dual-screen approach flew off of store shelves after they launched. Now Microsoft may be reconsidering its screen design philosophy for the third generation of the Surface Duo.

According to Windows Central, sources who are familiar with Microsoft’s plans claim the company is scrapping the dual-screen design of the Surface Duo 3 in favor of a more traditional foldable screen. The Surface Duo 3 may also feature an external cover display — like the Vivo X Fold — and a 180-degree hinge.
